Not a big fan of Ritchey, I've heard of a lot of problems with their products. |

Something wrong with the wheels, so I get the newest Ritchey WCS(the lightest ones) wheels for free!
Smoothie, what about zone 3? Like 8-30 minutes?
Today I had:
10 min warm-up
5x5 min i4, 2 minutes off
then 2x8 minutes i3/i4, 2 mins sitting, 2 mins standing 2 mins sitting and like that
Thats the type of session i do on the track. Cant really do standing efforts on the turbo, it doesnt do anything apart from confuse your body, and give its a strange center of gravity. |

Tubulars are the ones you glue on...

ok, another question:
Does Shimano 8 and 9 speed fit with Shimano 10 speed wheels? Read that on one wheelset, but I'm not sure.... |

Clincher wheels are for tyres that have a wire running through them so they grip on when inflated. The rims are normally Aluminum and have side walls. You can buy, Tub/Clinchers, which are a tub but with the clincer part still attached.
Tubular are similar, they have an inner tube inside the Tyre but a nylon or Kevlar strip is sown together at the bottom of the tube so its a round Tyre all the way around. You tend you either glue these on, or add Rim Tape and then put them on. I always use glue, continental is probably the best.
Im not sure about 8-9speed cassetes fitting on a 10speed free hub. I think you can put Sram on any wheel. so if you wanted a 9 speed try a Sram cassette. I would always read the instructions and talk to your local bike store about it to be 100% sure. |

Managed to get out on the road for the first time this year yesterday. Looking forwadr to getting out for about 4/5 hours this morning and the frost was back. Couldn't stomach another session on the turbo so took a day off. Hopefully the weather will be better tomorrow. |

The weather on some of the days in last year's ToC was pretty bad.
You'll get yours soon enough, Levi. |
