    HPCX - 10/27

    I keep laughing about the giant acorn and sand combo. Easier to put the sand in the acorn corner, or the acorns in the sand? For this year we'll keep the acorns and sand separate, and we'll spend some time raking the acorn corners. We'll have prizes from Finish Line and from Kim's Bike Shop, and...

    HPCX - 10/27

    Hope to see you this Sunday for HPCX! Registration is open at https://www.bikereg.com/hpcx. The course will be our typical flowy mix of grass, sand, and pavement. With one day of racing this year, we're combining some of our favorite features from our usual two courses and mixing things up a...

    James Pearl Thinks Blogging is Dead

    Thanks for coming out today @Norm. Conditions were horrible, and we trimmed some course sections mid-day, but it wasn't enough. If we had known the mud was going to be like that we would have set things up differently yesterday. We've had muddy years, and this was next level. Tomorrow does have...

    Bands for rollers

    I successfully used McMaster-Carr "Quick-Connect Hollow-Core Round Belting" on some very similar (identical?) rollers. Something like this belt and this connector. I can't remember what diameter. 3/16" sounds right but it may have been 1/4". I'm sure you could tell by measuring the groove in the...

    Patterson Falls and eats

    Libby's Lunch is right near the falls. Their claim to fame is the Texas Weiner but they've got other diner food too.

    TRP Sprye disc brakes can't stop me.

    My cross bike came with horrible Promax mechanical discs. I swapped those for Shimano calipers and put on Jagwire KEB-SL compressionless housing. Made a huge difference, but I did the changes at the same time so I don't know how much was from compressionless housing and how much from better...

    This happened

    I don't think temp rise alone could cause this. PV=nRT but T has to be absolute temp (Kelvin or Rankine). If car goes from 60 F to 160 F in the sun (seems reasonable?) that's 289 K to 344 K. P2/P1 = T2/T1, P1 was 25 psi. T1/T2 = 344/289 = 1.2 25*1.2 = P2 = 30 psi 30 psi shouldn't blow a tire...
