Product!
Helmet-wise, Qi Xiang needs one as his current $7 lid gave him a headache while cranking out laps at BT last Saturday. We’ll shop around for that…
We need to run in the Schwalbe tires a bit more… whereby we have to get used to the handling as well as wear down the center tread a bit more. Other stuff we need to run in are chains (mentioned by Patrick) - both the race chain as well as the spare one, the chain rings – real smooth, don’t seem to need much running in, but still…) the trail running shoes (clocked only about 27km so far for me since last week), and clothing.
The Weldtite lube (kindly provided by Andre of Klimax Imports) will need to undergo further testing in varying conditions (i.e.: We need to ride in the rain more!). The weather has been kind enough to dump some rain in recent days, so at least we get some practice in damp conditions. We reckon the weather might turn wet at the race site too.
