Upgraded with a decent set of wheels!brades68 wrote:I've been sick of looking and feeling like a great dane shagging a tennis ball! I've stepped up in sizing from a 58 with a 130mm stem to the Felt TK3 61cm and have kept the 130mm stem and 3T bars. First ride yesterday arvo, felt (no pun intended) much better.
Now if i can find a decent set of legs!
Cheers
Mick
Still looking for a decent set of legs.
n + 1 = Felt TK3 (track - woohoo)

Fine tune the free play adjustment in the bearings and I would think that they would be pretty good.

Brings back my worst memory Foo. Last year I was 5th in the state IP by like 5secs from 3rd. Next day I lent my rear Pistard to my son. A Good Samaritan gave his bike a good check over and said ‘aw, the little fella can’t ride that, the rear wheels near jammed.’foo on patrol wrote: ↑Sun Feb 14, 2021 4:12 pm

Sure enough it only did half a rotation. They pulled it apart at the velodrome - guys from Wagga I think - and ...
I wondered why I died at the end of the IP.

I never put a wheel in, unless I check it for how good it spins.

We got it in March 2020 and have had a couple of changes. He now has my wheels that I built in 1994 on it, and 165mm Ofmega Mistral cranks.
He's restricted to a 5.5m gear, so he's running a 49x19T combination.
Bars and saddle courtesy of via eBay.

Indeed it is. $30 and about 110g. He likes it so much he has another on his road bike. At 38kg he doesn't exert much force on a saddle, so can use just about anything. Between the former saddle and the NJS steel bars we took 800g off the weight of his bike.ft_critical wrote: ↑Mon Mar 08, 2021 8:57 pmLooks great - is that a carbon (no padding) saddle?ironhanglider wrote: ↑Mon Mar 08, 2021 4:58 pmLachlan't 'new' track bike.
