JP you're welcome for sharing some breaking news with you about a high profile race I know you've done in the past and will be in the vicinity of at the appropriate time.

But as far as my "taunt?" I prefer to think of it as a threat or promise.

While it's true I have never beaten, or even come close to beating you in a cross race. But that was then, this is now. Wanna put some money on it?

Back to our regularly scheduled programming...

Want to wish Patrick, Dale, Jim and Jules (or should I say Jules et Jim?) good luck at Granogue this weekend!

Marc, 
     Considering you crashed me two years ago, the answer is no. (yeah, yeah, yeah, it was a steep hill, you messed up, tell it to the judge )  At the same time, a few weeks back you complained about how awful intervals are, so maybe someone else wants to wager.     

     A taunt is "a sarcastic challenge or insult," and I think you went there.  

     
All,
     This forum is supposed to be fun.  what I wrote last night, in my opinion, went over the line. My apologies to all.

"What this team needs, is a feud."
Said no one, ever.

Marc and JP are just sparring. 

basically.

the HOTNESS

Where is Dan Timmerman this year ?

He is still on the Sach's team. He'll be at Cross Vegas. Not there, but all season in the New England/MidAtlantic regions, I expect him to be a podium contender every race.

Timmerman wont be part of the Richard Sachs team. After his success last year, he signed a contract with Stan no Tubes

He is still all the hotness, will likely hangout in all the same races. 

The richard sachs team roster is the one I wrote above.

Awesome, thanks for the update/correction! (Bertucco hangs head in shame for missing that "detail.") Does this mean, he won't be riding tubulars? That's pretty significant. Other big guns on tubeless, but still a minority.

Caught a two seconds glimpse of Dan Chabanov and this bike this morning in prospect park

Oooooooooooh lugs, preeettty...

if you had tubulars that need gluing, but no time to do it, where would you take them?

Murray at Ride Brooklyn is the only person I trust at a shop.

NYC Velo

GMSR is over, so now I can finally think about cross. I need a set of file tread clinchers for Nittany and the like. What should I get?

Clement LAS

Challenge Chicane

If you favor durability over suppleness, go Clement says folks like Mike Perlberg whom I've talked to. Challenge are like butter, sidewalls that massage the ground...but I've had multiple tread separation issues over the past season or so. That said, I'll probably be racing Chicane's this weekend. Cuz, they ain't ruined yet.

If clinchers the challenge Chicane will have a *slightly* lesser chance of pinch flatting. If tubulars the Clement LAS will last longer. Your mileage will vary.

Crossing women, you should do this, even if you don't feel up to racing. Providence is relatively close by and the opportunity to learn from one of the best...

FWIW I've never (knock wood) had trouble with (tubular) Challenges. Last year I did have two dugasts shit the bed.

yes, I should have said, Challenge Tubulars are also the hotness, and will look so dramatically cooler, because tan sidewalls, obvs. Except they will not be tan by the end of the season. Which is what I meant by not lasting as long. Want my tires to be tanned, dammit. Otherwise awesome.

(yes, you could seal them...)

your mileage will vary.

(The seal is to protect the tan-ness)

Adam,

Clearly these guy's reading comprehension is degraded by their huffing too much tubular glue. if you're looking for high quality file tread CLINCHERS, I would suggest the Clement LAS, good file in the middle, and like being on rails through the corners because of the side knobs.

Nobody wants to seal the sidewalls of a clincher. You use clinchers so you don't have to inhale solvents from glues and sealants.

tldr;
Tubulars for RACING
Clinchers for POSING

Make your decision.

WTF. NO SEALING A CLINCHER EVER. obvs.

Jules, step outside, breathe some fresh air. all that aquaseal is going straight to your head.

Not everybody has the ability to have multiple wheels setup for different cross conditions.
