Evondo's Group - CLOSED! (Page 113)

bzgl40 - 2010-03-23 8:00 PM Sweet ride Eric.  Expect some speedy races from you.  What are you going to put on your training bike for components?

evondo - 2010-03-23 6:18 PM Fit is done, bike is purchased so I can spill the beans... Fuji D-6 with a HED Jet 6 front, HED Jet 9 w/disc cover & PowerTap Pro+ rear, all Dura-ace components instead of default SRAM.  

This is going to be a race only bike, I've had a very hard time keeping my current bike up and running. It seems every time I near a race something needs to be fixed, tweaked or replaced. Now I don't have to worry about breaks not working, bearings clicking or PowerTap not working (all of which have happened to me in a race).  It's going to be a few weeks before the rear wheel is in but the rest should be built up by this weekend I hope. I'll post pics when I get them but for now here's the default configuration...

bzgl40 - 2010-03-23 8:14 PM Gels: which do you use?  I had been using Honey Stinger but I decided on my last bike ride that they are indeed bugging my stomach.  I kind of suspected so and after the last few times I believe it has been confirmed. 

Newtons1st - 2010-03-23 5:55 PM OK everyone its about that time of year when running you might encounter a T-Storm/Rain Shower. Always be mindfull of where the Port-o-potys are. This from my logs last year.

"I got up at the crack of 8:30 and decided to get in my 8 miler today. Was off to a great start. Was feeling great and all was going good. I see up ahead in the road there is a large grey wall of water coming my way. Huge down pour out of nowhere. Today also happens to be the first time I have my Iphone for music. So I had to think fast and the best thing was a port o potty about 40 yards up. So I sprint there and jump inside. Good thing for me is I have no sense of smell. I call the wife to come get the phone and I would just finish the run in the rain. As I was in there I took a look at the radar and a huge line of dark red rain was coming so I just jumped in the car and called it a day, "

The wife didint care to much for the smell of 4 miles + POP stench.

kcarroll - 2010-03-23 6:29 PM OK. next time you have one of those "why did I marry you?" fights, pull this out of the memory banks.  Any woman that comes to rescue her man's iPhone, then lets him ride in her car smelling of POP is a saint. Sorry, but this says far more about your wife than clever t-storm strategies.

Newtons1st - 2010-03-24 8:07 AM Trust me I already know she has to put up with way too much. I out kicked my coverage on this one. All I had to do was trick her into marrying me in Vegas. Just saying I MYSELF planned 100% of my wedding. Hows your plans going EvD???

I can say that after that bad arse bike you got there. I really like it.

Betsy0706 - 2010-03-24 10:37 AM And for that you will always get props in my book Todd.  I love that story!  EvD plan?  Yeah right.  I will say he took care of planning the honeymoon so he gets points for that.
