Joker Posted June 4, 2006 Share Posted June 4, 2006 What category do you race? Currrently I'm just a 3 but I race with the 1/2's a lot during the local criterium series races and have been able to get some points toward an upgrade. The goal was to upgrade to a 2 by the end of this year but the injury and over training smashed those hopes. Now I'm looking to next year. How about you?

How about you? 3's in most races, and Junior 17-18 at nationals and select other races. I'm trying to get to 2 by the end of this year as well, but honestly i don't see it happening. I can crack the top 10 easily, but i've yet to place top 5 this year. I'm coming to form though, so we'll see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swedish erotica Posted June 4, 2006 Share Posted June 4, 2006 ^Fixing a flat tire is really really easy. Don't pay someone to do it for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whoiseuth Posted June 6, 2006 Share Posted June 6, 2006 if all you want to do is fix the flat find out what size tube you need and then fix it at home. bring the tire to the shop, they will know what tube you need. for a tutorial on changing a flat use google. otherwise if you really need to replace the tires you can get a decent set for ~$35. check out biketiresdirect.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trackstand Posted June 7, 2006 Share Posted June 7, 2006 My guy works at a shop and they got to smash one of these frames. Something was wrong with the rear drops (manufacturing error) and because it wasn't in Felts interest to get the frame back they said "destroy it". Well, regardless it was two hours of smashing it against the corner of a dumpster before it cracked. Oh, that Merecx is so sweet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soup BDC Posted June 16, 2006 Share Posted June 16, 2006 Hey thanks for the bikes. So I've got a frame in mind, and I'm lookin to build this mother (with help from some friends) for -$1000 includin frame. If you guys want to recommend some cranks, chains, etc that you've had good luck with, please help me out. I'm leaning towards being stupid and springing for some of the cnc made parts, but if I could find some nice cheap stuff, people that I owe money (more like people with birthdays coming up) will thank you.

fuse=--action Posted June 21, 2006 Share Posted June 21, 2006 I got back into riding after reading this thread a bit. I do it mostly for exercise since it is pretty impractical to ride a bike as transportation anywhere in Houston that isn't downtown. I'm pretty sure I have one of these Panasonic bicycles. I'm sure it's not exactly the same model as my bike is a 10 speed rather than a 12. But otherwise it looks the same. -fuse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
