Shebeen Posted October 24, 2014 Share saw a few threads on this, but all dedicated to a single athlete/attempt. since Jens broke it, here is the first of what will surely be aavalanche of attempts on this marker. http://www.cyclingnews.com/news/matthias-brandles-hour-record-scott-plasma-5 http://cdn.mos.bikeradar.com/images/news/2014/10/23/1414059389559-u5nwhjep9i62-700-80.jpg dracs 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Steer Posted October 24, 2014 Share Yeah, they moved the goal posts... lots of people gonna be gunning to get their name in lights until one of the real big guns steps up. I reckon Spartacus next year will be putting down a proper bench mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Steer Posted October 24, 2014 Share Wiggins I am sure will give it a crack too. Martin? Might wait til a little later in his career, but those are clearly the top three in my eyes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gandalf Posted October 24, 2014 Share Yeah, they moved the goal posts... lots of people gonna be gunning to get their name in lights until one of the real big guns steps up. I reckon Spartacus next year will be putting down a proper bench mark Im also waiting for the big guns to come out. Fabian, Wiggo and Martin are probably waiting for one to make the first move. Thats going to be exciting stuff right there Andrew Steer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maniax Posted October 30, 2014 Share The machine image.jpg nice machine! Apparently the circuit he is doing it on is only 200m. Which means, he's going to be turning about double the times Jens did. This also means its going to be quite tough to beat Jens' record. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gitfo Posted October 30, 2014 Share THis is shaping up to be an event to keep our eyes on. And to quote cartman: " he is making a left tuurn, wonder what he is going to do next? Heck Another left Tuuurn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Icycling Posted October 30, 2014 Share This was posted o Colnago facebook page 25 October Today, 42 years ago, Eddy Merckx realized the hour record in Mexico city: 49.431 km. His bicycle, built by Ernesto Colnago, weighed 5.75 kg. My question is thus why is this record still recognized? It should also be thrown out for not been within the current rules of the UCI - no diffrent to Boardman's, Obree and ... records etc. The UCI require a bike (even a track bike) to be 6.8 kg! Lets face it the UCI has made a complete mess up of this record and allowing progress in technology of the bicycle. They should get control of dopping before they impose stupid rules on conventional (non fairing) bicycle! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
