u look so uncomfortable, that is a terrible aero position.....totally kidding bra haha. smooth and efficient, u must cut throught the wind like nothing
This may be a dumb question but.. how do you get bar tape to fit on a TT base bar for use on a pursuit bike? The plug for bar tape is usually made for 26mm bar ends but the end of a base bar is 22.2mm. Can't get the plug to fit. If anybody knows, that would be great help thanks.
Nope - it's a track specific SRM (power measuring) crankset. Taylor has never seen PC's...and he's a pretty good "pedaller". Save your money and buy a power measuring device.
He's a "pretty good" pedaler. He's still stranded between ankling and flexing w/ very little power going over the top (point your foot down and try to "kick"--muscle group recruited is behind the knee rather than hips, glutes and inner thighs with flexed pedal stroke)
Tho he looks better in this vid. than in recent wind tunnel pix. Tighter *and* more comfortable on the Felt than on the Trek. Seat is lower here and foot more flexed. Some time on PowerCranks wouldn't hurt--though they hurt. A lower seat and one-legged pedaling on Computrainer with spinscan would yield a gain. Scary to think about when you look at what he can already do.
The pusuit position is very aggressive, but doesn't have to be held for very long...so as long as he still generates the necessary power to go fast it's all good.
i think garmin-chipotle should put him on the roster for 09 tour de france cuz he has a crazy chance of winning the prologue and that'll be huge at 19!
I agree the stress of grand tour at that age might not be the best thing. Didn't Ullrich win his tour at the age of 21? Phinney might not have a GC build though, but to compete at that level at that age is amazing still. I have high hopes for him
i wanna ride that fast lol

@riceoobxg ;: make your own plug by using the cork from a bottle of wine, fit it with a knife. easy peasy

Are those Power Cranks? If so, his pedaling technique is flawless. I'm thinking about getting some PC's, do you recommend?

PowerCranks? On a fixed gear? Jesus.
Think about it for a minute.

No plans on riding any grand tours for a few years...better to develop his fitness for a while and win more than just a prologue.
