For Whom the Cowbell Tolls: Race Wheel Rental
Tuesday, February 24th, 2009VeloNews | The Tour of the Gila is cutting its prize list slightly, but will continue thanks to recent donations | The Journal of Competitive Cycling.
Sunday, February 22nd, 2009Ah good. We’ve had a few questions about equipment for this race. Now that its happening we hope people will start to consider what they want to get for the event. The TT is killer, but the rest of the race also demands lightweight wheels. Zipp 202, American Classic 38s or HED Scorpios might be nice for this race.

Friday, February 20th, 2009This is a blog that we’ve been reading and following through the ToC. Our friend from Columbia Cycling Team alerted it to us and we’ve been hooked! While it might not be extensive in the coverage, the images are stellar. We also like that personal websites and blogs can embed the images without penalty. We would post an image, but we hate to deal with legalities…

Our sponsored cyclocross rider, Laura Van Gilder, lost her team this week. The news was short and ill-timed and left her and Rebecca Larson, amongst others, without a job. Laura is still seeking out some other options with some local teams and hopes to be able to race as a guest rider for larger events. With over 300 career wins and still the best sprinter in the US, we certainly think (and hope!) she will find a new spot.
Van Gilder said, “I know that I love racing my bike, and I want to continue to be able to do that this season. It’s just a matter of getting the word out there that I have the passion and enthusiasm to race and represent sponsors. Ride, guest ride, mentor and guest ride, as I did this weekend [with Sugar CRM] – these are all things I’m available to do … I’m going to be positive and optimistic and move forward. It’s just a shame. I don’t think any racers should be put in this position so late. It’s a reality with the economy, and it’s difficult to get sponsors, but we’re professionals, and we should conduct ourselves in that manner. I’m not through racing yet.”

Monday, February 16th, 2009Chodroff seized the title, which was his plan for the weekend. Congrats Jon!
All That is Good – Home
Sunday, February 15th, 2009This is the Lancaster, PA racing HQ website. After some ups and downs last year, racing is back in PA. Echappe is sponsoring the Roller Races starting Feb 22nd in Allentown. PA racing is hardcore to the bone. If you want something that resembles the tough ass races in Belgium, this is the place to find it.
Check out the roller races that our Trexlertown rep, Jack Simes, is hosting here: http://www.allthatisgood.org/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=49&Itemid=1
VeloNews | Chodroff and Clemence fastest at Valley of the Sun Opener | The Journal of Competitive Cycling.
Saturday, February 14th, 2009Jon Chodroff won the Valley of the Sun on our HED Jet Disc and Jet 9 front wheel. Using the clincher wheels that he prefers for his TT’s so he can run “secret tires”, Jon crushed the competition once again.

Tuesday, February 10th, 2009Ryan Kelly who rides some bikes, shoots photos of bikes and loves bike, but not all people, is looking for the third Musketeer for a racing trip to North Carolina this weekend. Those of you who’s girlfriend has two wheels, this might be a good weekend retreat for Valentine’s Day.
Bike Snob NYC: Pimping Your Ride: Making Money With Your Bike
Thursday, February 5th, 2009Check this out from BikeSnobNYC:
So until some fixed-gear boutique catches on to the need for a fixter service that combines elements of Echappe Equipment and Netflix (perhaps it could be called “Netfixed”) you can make big money “turning out” your own fixed-gear.
via Bike Snob NYC: Pimping Your Ride: Making Money With Your Bike.
I was really excited about this for a few reasons: 1) Referenced us without being cynical or really mean at all. In fact, it is somewhat of a compliment. 2) Linked to us and NOT Netflix. Linking to something is pretty key in terms of Googling and searchable things, etc, but also because people actually click through on blogs like this and check out what they are interested in.
