These are good points to raise. I'm writing from the perspective of someone living and working in a large US city. Clearly, rural residents have found that online retailing of all kinds has definitely eased the job of getting the things they need. A…

I could go into great detail about why online shops are good or bad, and why LBS's have a hard time competing on price. But I'll assume that most folks here know that stuff already. So, as someone who's worked at an LBS for over 15 years, let me get…

Beth Hamon added a discussion to the group Single Speed
After a stellar season racing short-track xc on a singlespeed bike, in a womens' singlespeed category, I have been informed that Cross Crusade probably won't ovver separate singlespeed categories for men and women. This is, I'm told, because of the…

One more short track race next week, and then a break before cross -- phew!

I saw a photo from this race in a recent issue of Roleur and couldn't understand what I was seeing, a run-up that looked like it was easily two to three miles long. Then I went to the web site for the race and realized that yes, this was actually a…

I use a flip flop hub & adjust my chain tensioner accordingly. However % have found if I need the easier gears for a hillier course_ if the downhilss are longer vs steaper_ I just spin out. If there's sustained climbing_ with short steep hills, then…

Profile Information

Hometown:
Portland, OR
About Me:
Longtime bike shop owner and mechanic; newbie racer in short-track xc and cyclocross; musician, writer, teacher and artist.

Dream Bike:
The more I learn about racing, the less sure I am about this. Right now it's some kind of full-rigid singlespeed mountain bike; but this could change.
Favorite thing about cyclocross:
The mud, the noise and the sheer wackiness of carrying your bike 300 feet so you can ride it for 50. Basically it's a rolling party.
How long have you been racing cyclocross?
Since 2009. Love, love, LOVE it.
Racing category:
noob, singlespeed

Ouchy! Just left my Doc office with achilles tendonitis! Right after that I drove down to get acupuncture and feel so much better. URGH!

Not so good unfortunately. A change of job, sickness and that nagging foot pain cut me short. I was only able to do the one Mtn. Bike race and the TT. I am looking forward to this upcoming season. I just watched the 9 Ball Diaries and the spark has been re-ignited for sure!

Beth! Hey the new bike looks great. have you raced it yet on the short track?

Check out Curtlo cycles in Winthrop, Washington. My steel CX frame was a quarter the cost of my Ti Seven road frame and every bit as good.
