TK2 Front wheel axle has flats...

njs a necessity?

I should have done this research beforehand but it's too late now. I have a pair of suntour superbe pro pedals for sale on ebay and a buyer asked if they're stamped njs. They're not. Does this mean they're not track pedals. The cages are definitely track. Is the stamp necessary or just a plus?...

Trek T1 vs. Felt TK2

Yep, another compare bikes/omg what bike should I get thread(!). Basically I need a track bike. I'm doing most of my racing in Kenosha, with a few in T-Town. I can get both of these bikes at EP so I don't really need other suggestions. I'm like 6'3 and race 3's on the road if that matters at all. ...

Motobecane Messenger

Is this a good enough beginner frame for racing? I have one built up for use on the road and it's cheaper for me to swap bars and take off my brake than to buy a whole new bike. Would I notice a serious difference when racing on a "true track" frame?

Standing Start

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ki2re9uILtc I was shown this video by a friend. He's been nudging me take up track cycling; I guess this is another push of his. It's an interesting video, a little strange, but perhaps inspiring to some. I hope you enjoy it.
