Great race.<br /><br />Now that you've ditched the water-bottle cages you can replace the bolts with machine screws or spare cleat bolts (that's what I use). This will definitely save a tenth of a gram or so but more importantly gives you a clean downtube and one less thing to get snagged on when shouldering your bike.<br /><br />You can also do it the Belgian way and plug the holes with rubber cement.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01719197617176598621noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1886776306339316165.post-45815596348118040202009-09-23T10:51:08.643-04:002009-09-23T10:51:08.643-04:00Nice race on Sunday Jesse. You did a fantastic job...Nice race on Sunday Jesse. You did a fantastic job. Tire pressure, the toughest part of the race other than racing the acutal race. Keep track of the starting pressure you have in your tires. Make a mental note of the course, the conditions, etc... You should be able to run a surprising low pressure near the low 40s. Unfortunately, with clinchers and the fact that you are not 5.7" and 130 pounds will keep you from running 34 psi, but a few psi makes a big different. <br /><br />Keep rocking the cross bike.The Douglingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09068706547108908040noreply@blogger.com
