Pretty much you don't update your profile, nobody can get to the user cp and the admin has been scarce to say the least. A lot of members choose to migrate over to another forum (there's a thread on this on the first page or so of bike cafe).

So, who's got coverage of this online?

So, explain to me, how a person with no clothes on could be a crossdresser?

I'd like a $20 powertap(or simply enough $$$ to buy one), really, or is that too wacky? I think you could do the single brake lever for both brakes with a piece from a "gyro" (I think it's called, it's used for freestyle BMX bikes so they can spin the bars) that splits the cable into two. But...

Well the 200 world record is something like 9 seconds, but that's with a rolling start. A standing start would probably make it pretty close, due to the logistics of accelerating a bike vs. accelerating on foot. 50 meters in a runner would probably be ahead.

Two things that pop into my mind: 1, Somethings rubbing that shouldn't be rubbing (probably the brakes). 2, You mentioned the different gears, it should be intuitive, but make sure your using those gears and that your spinning fast enough. And well three things, seat position does affect your...

CBC has it listed for live coverage.

Worked fine for me (in canada).

Uh, ya, half of those components are worth more than my bike... But damn, that crankset is nice!

...and I'm still using downtube shifters...
