    Pedal Care

  2. yeah..not as bad as the 2 ProTour riders yesterday.. Two Quick Step riders hit by car during training Team Quick Step's Kevin Van Impe and Kevin Hulsmans were involved in an accident Tuesday near Oosterzele, Belgium. The pair was training near Van Impe's house, along with two other athletes. "We were just riding along easily," said Hulsmans, "when at a certain point, a car coming from behind hit us and threw us to the ground. The impact sent Van Impe clear to the other side of the road. Luckily, there were no cars coming the other way." "I ended up against a light post, and another one of our friends broke his clavicle," said Hulsmans. "The driver stopped, and help was there soon after. We were very lucky. Considering how fast the car was going, and by the look of our bikes, I must say that it could have been much worse." Both Quick Step riders sustained minor scrapes and bruises on their arms and legs.
  3. Light&Motion will add another nail in the HID coffin with its upcoming Seca line of high-output LED lamps. Each Seca system will feature a six-LED array and target output for the top model is an impressive 720 lumens. According to Light&Motion, the unique beam pattern will provide plenty of usable peripheral and straight-ahead vision. More importantly, the company claims the tuned optics will deliver real world output that finally matches the darkness-piercing 'punch' of top HID lamps that we've so often found lacking in other high-end LED systems. Light&Motion has a new LED light in the works called the Seca but it's still in prototype phase.

  16. Originally posted by Johan Bornman "If you look at titanium's weaknesses, you'll see why it is only used on the top three sprockets of bicycled clusters. Those are the sprockets that racers are prohibited by peer pressure, never to ride in." .. bwhaa haa.. i think its more a case of less force and a smoother stroke being exerted on those sprockets , due to mainly used for climbing.. but thats just my opinion
