Cycling – bits and bobs

By Alastair McDermott | November 26th, 2006

I’ve been quiet this week on [tag]cycling[/tag], haven’t been out all that much. I did some minor work on the [tag]Cross Check[/tag]… I installed the (wired) [tag]VDO C4[/tag] computer, we’ll see how that goes. I must admit I got lazy with measurement – I reckon my Randonneur 700x28s are close enough to 2138mm that I didn’t measure. I also covered lots of the rear-rack stays with black reflective tape and the same for the chain-stay. I also de-badged the [tag]Mavic Open-Pros[/tag] and covered the “[tag]Ultegra[/tag]” on the shifters and rear derailleur. One of the roadies in work thought I was nuts covering up all the names :)

I do have some drafts that I intend to post this week when I get a chance. I have a review of the Light and Motion ARC HID NiMH that I got last week – sweet light! I’ll post a review with some pictures this week. Also I downloaded gigabytes of free [tag]MTB videos[/tag] legally from totalvid.com so I’ll post a review of what I thought about the service and the videos seperately too.

In the meantime, enjoy this insanely talented trials rider, Ryan Leech, as he takes on Prague. This YouTube clip (3mins 41) is an excerpt from ROAM, one of the videos I got from totalvid.com. Enjoy:

2:46 – no!

Armand’s referring to the craziness in the video at 2:46 – check it out. If he fails that’s gonna be very, very sore!
