just wondering if you would use the same size bike as my crit bike and should i get smaller cranks ????
reply
Well i use 165mm size cranks which i think there better for making sharp turns in the streets cause i dont sseem to hit the front wheel as often with my feet.And alot of pro track ridazz use 165mm as there preffered size cranks for TRACK.

RECYCLING AN OLD THREAD----------------------------------------------
Okay, so I was reading the
Pole Lane Fever race description, and now I'm curious about some of the terms used. What's the difference between a Points Race, Tempo, and a TT time trial?

I mean, I know what a time trial is, but tempo? Wasdat?

btw while i'm here, to answer your question chynna, a tempo (i call it '15 laps in hell') is basically x number of laps with 1 point awarded to the person that crosses the line first at every lap. remember that each lap is only 250m. so its 1 point awarded every 16-18 seconds.

for the winter -- and with a class like this -- a good track ratio is in the low 80's.

switch to 16! or stay at 15. October to December should be all about building up leg speed.
