Repair/upgrades

That’s how it feels when I ride my Giant TCR Advanced with the Dura-ace deep dish wheels. They are so much faster than the Ksyrium’s I was using and it looks way faster. I look fast even when I'm going slow. A good wheel set is the biggest upgrade you can make on a bike because rotating weight is the worst kind. The deep dish rim cuts down on the wind resistance and is nice and stiff. I can’t wait to race them at Gila and Joe Martin, it’s almost like doping. It still won’t be enough for me to be a GC guy but I’m hoping to get a top ten in a stage or two. I also feel like my training has been going really well and should be nice and rested for the races.

For the love of God, please clean your bike before you take it to your favorite shop to be serviced!! I'm gonna let you in on a little fyi....the moment you step out of the shop's door, the staff laughing at your filthy bike....and you’re gonna get charged a cleaning fee to boot! Just do all of us a favor and run it through the car wash and rinse it off!! I don’t mean that you have to make it sparkle....just wash off the large chunks of mud and grime so we can properly care for your rig! A clean bike is a happy bike.
