Zipp Vuma Quad BB30 …not

I quote zipps web site “The 30mm aluminum spindle design, a first for external bearing crank sets, is stiff, durable, and compatible with the emerging BB30 bottom bracket standard.” This is total BS. We call Zipp and guess what they say? Our cranks are only compatible with threaded bb shells. What? Thanks for the mis-lead on your web site Zipp! BB 30 is not a threaded bottom bracket. BB 30 is a non threaded direct mount crank/bottom bracket sytem. If we have to use adapters to make a BB 30 a threaded BB than why not run a threaded BB? Come on Zipp!

Bicycle Fitting Charges

Some times people will ask “why is a bike fitting is so much?”.

You’re not just paying for the bike fit but your paying for the 20 years it took me to fit you so well and efficiently.

I look at it this way.. You can go to a bike fitter that just went through a fit farm at Trek or Specialized or you can pay someone that really cares about and take pride in his work.

Deepak Chopra and the bling…

OK, this is a personal opinion but I’m sitting here watching Deepak Chopra commenting on the death of his good friend Michael Jackson. I can’t help but notice his diamond studded glasses. What the hell Deepak? You’re not Tupak your a damn Guru aren’t you? Did this materialistic world entice even you? Did you find spiritual enlightenment at Gucci?

Look Keo Fit Analysis

Look Keo Fit Analysis

I’ve been using the Look Keo FIT pedal stroke Analysis device for a week now. I must say I’m very impressed. The devise gives me a better reading on the correct amplitude (total float) and position for cleat placement. I have a half dozen test subjects out riding the adjusted cleat positions and so far they have had nothing but positive to say. I looks like i will be adding the service to my fit regimen. Stay tuned
