I like the light, but the ads are a bit misleading.  

The brochure goes on a lot about the disadvantages of vacuum 
bulbs compared to ones with halogen or inert gasses.  This leads
you to believe a) that most generic light bulbs are vacuum, and
b) that an inert gas bulb is equivalent to a halogen.  Neither is true.


Another point they make is about how bulbs lose a lot of their lifetime
on startup, and that they use a thermister circuit to cushion the blow.
If they are worried about startup, then how come the switch is made so
you have to go through "off" to switch between high and low beams?

Hi, I'm looking for advice on clipless pedals and shoes.
I'm worried about "locking in" my feet so rotational
freedom is important to me and also I have a wide 
foot (triple E) so I'm looking for brands that
can best accomodate that.

The Panracer Smoke Lite *Folding* (1.9) is 480 grams, according to my
Performace catalog. This is the lightest I've heard of (most MTB tires
are 600-700 gms.)  If you use these instead of a 700 gm tire, you save
a pound what goes round! (minus 13 gms)

Well, it looks as though I figured out how to post a message, so here comes the
real one.  I'm thinking of racing this coming season, and am thinking of 
buying a new/used racing bike as all I have now is a touring bike.  I'm 5'10" 
and 160 lbs so I figure a 56 cm frame or thereabouts.  I'd like 600 components
but as I can't spend too much (I'd like it to be around $500 cash but depends
on bike of course), it may have to be 105 stuff.  Friends have suggested the
RB-1, Trek 1400, and a few others.  So, if you have a racing bike you are thinking of selling, or good info for me on what to look for as I wander the classifieds, please send e-mail.

Whether moving the seat back further than the designer intended creats more
problems than it solves depends on the bike.

I did this with two different bikes, a Scapin and a Vitus.  Both were
54.5cm frames with 54cm top tubes; optimally, I need a 55cm frame with
a 57cm top tube.


I used a Profile seatpost on the Scapin and a 12cm stem - with a longer
stem, the handling became unacceptably sluggish.  There were still handling
problems however; my weight was too far back, so there was too little
weight on the front wheel.  This meant that it did not corner well.  The
front tire felt like it was going to lose traction well before the rear,
a bad situation.  I like having the saddle well behind the bottom bracket,
but on this bike the distance was too extreme.  It was a relief to retire
that frame.

With the Vitus I used a "Torque Platform" device that moved the seat back
2-3 cm, with a 13cm stem.  This worked much better.  The steep head angle of
the Vitus meant that the steering was still good even with a long stem.
The long stem combined with the overall geometry meant that my weight
was not shifted back that much, so the front still tracked very well.
The saddle was about as far behind the bottom bracket as it is on my
current (custom) frame, which has a 72 seat angle.  I'd still be riding
that Vitus if not for an unfortunate incident...

My girlfriend is now using the Torque Platform on her bike, combined with
a Miyata women's saddle; this saddle is short and has short rails.  The
result is that she is positioned the same as she was with an Avocet
"racing" saddle without the Torque Platform.

In the long run it's true that these devices represent compromises.  I
eventually got a custom frame in order to get a long enough top tube,
and I'm glad I did.  But if you've got a bike you like otherwise, it
may be worth a try; depending on the geometry, the compromise may not be
that bad.

Anybody have a 56 cm track frame or bike gathering dust?
I am looking for something that rides well but may not
elicit great envy.  

I would also be interested in a set of track hubs or wheels.

Any information or proposals will be welcome.

I will be happy to hear from you!

HELP...I RACE A TREK 970 MOUNTAIN BIKE BUT , I CAN'T FIND ANY GOOD SIZES 
POSTERS OF TREK MOUNTAIN BIKES IN ACTION.  I TRIED TO CALL THE TREK 1-800 
NUMBER BUT THEY SAID THAT THEY DIDN'T HAND OUT ANY OF THE PROMOTIONAL 
ITEMS.  YOU WOULD THINK THAT AFTER I HAVE BOUGHT A 2300 AND A 970, I COULD 
AT LEAST GET A FEW POSTERS FOR MY DORM ROOM.  IF YOU KNOW OF ANY PLACE 
THAT I CAN GET TREK POSTERS, PLEASE LEAVE ME A MESSAGE.

Subject: Ritchey seaatposts (that place you further back?)

I was told by a bike shop that Ritchey sells a seat post that may be slightly
curved that places you a little further back on the bike.  I don't need as
drastic a shift that the Profile Mirage gives.  Does anybody out there know
how much more "setback" (or should it be "seatback") that I can get out of a
Ritchey as compared to a Campy Super Record.  Anybody know who sells the
Ritchey?
