In answer to your question: "When someone flats do they have to pay, and what is your cheapest rental for CX wheels?"

1) You do not have to pay for flats IF you get crash insurance. Crash insurance covers everything "race related". Also, instead of valve extenders, we actually set up all 'cross wheels with core extenders. This prevents valves from banging around and bleeding air which we found happens a lot with valve extenders. Once core extenders were converted to all our wheels, we never had a bleed problem again.

2) Our cheapest race wheel rental for 2009-2010 is $50 credit/$40 cash for the Echappe Classics, HED Bastognes and HED Ardennes. The Ardennes will be tubeless this season, as will a set or two of DuraAce 24mm wheels.

For Standard Rentals, carbon tubulars are $75-$125. Depends really on MSRP of the product.

For the best deal, get a Day Pass. This is a program we experimented with during the 2008-09 cross season and it went over very well. We have been selling a number of them for the road riders currently and expect the 'cross riders to make use of this feature as well.

it's super stable, and responsive. I love the road feel, with just that little extra. the stock fork was def better for long cruises (50mi plus rides) but this fork option gives me a more reponsinve steering and tighter technical control.

Hey Andrew, three things...

1. I've got a thread open at Fixed Gear Fever about grass track racing. I'm learning a lot. Guess where it is really popular? Trinidad! No kidding.

2. There is a thread open on the CX Magazine forums page about Tom Boonen's tires for Paris-Roubaix. At some point, I expect we'll see each other this season. When we do, try and remind me, as I've got a great story to tell about that particular photo.

3. I've never held a green Michelin Mud in my hand before tonight. I've got to tell you, they nailed it with those tires. Tubeless-compatible, no. But, boy, oh boy are they nice.

Take care Andrew.

Never heard back if you want some old and fully functional tubulars for CX Magazine experiments. Let me know and I'll drop them in the mail to you, or can hand them off if your up in downtown SF sometime.

I'm making a late season run at it this season, 7 weeks in the motherland after nats. Not sure what the deal will be for me with a cross column this year... If I have the motivation, I'll let you know. I saw Jason this summer ... Sounded like he was working 60 hour weeks ... Bummer.

That was the most ridiculous race I ever did. 2006 NYS Cross Championships. Standing water on the grass sections made everything a slick mud pit. Then we went into a singletrack section where it was about 2 inches deep of dirt/pine needles/rotten leaves. I actually managed to ride it for half the race until I gave up and ran it the rest. Still one of the most fun days I had ever had on a cross bike.

Yeah, that's me suffering the last race of last season in Watsonville. The photographer's name is Pamela who posts photos on Flicker under the name Bici Girl - you can find it here http://www.flicker.com/photos/bicigirl/2224580327/. I contacted her through Flicker and she sent me a Hi Rez copy the same day. If you don't have luck getting a hold of her, let me know and I'll send her an email. ~Geoff

"Favorite thing about cyclocross:
5) keeps me off the coach just when my less-evolved body wants to hibernate and pack on the pounds"

This confused me. You must have a hot chick for a coach and your diminshed self esteem when your "less-evolved body wants to hibernate and pack on the pounds" prevents you from getting on her! You're lucky for having a coach at all. If I were you and had a hot chick for a coach, I'd probably try to get her on the COUCH!

The Redline indeed rocks. I'll post a photo later. Can't wait for CX to start! I've recruited 2 friends, one of whom already got a bike; the other is working on it. Thanks for providing this distraction!

5' 10" ... still researching ... Velo News had a good review of a Jamis Super Nova. That would be on the outer limits of my budget.
