News and links 9-23-08

  • Chris Padfield will switch from pink and black to green and black, after joining Get a Grip. It looks like the GAG guys are gonna have a terrific men's 3 squadra next year. Off the top of my head: Aspen, Chip, Charles and Chris himself. Let's hope Jon gets well soon and can tear it up with the 3's too.
  • If you don't have the $ for a professional bike fit in a shop (and your team's bike shop doesn't provide them free) this DVD may be useful. (Hat tip to Bike Rumor.)
  • For those of you going to Worlds in Varese next weekend (or actually any other race you need to fly to), some airlines are not accepting bike boxes bigger than 80 linear inches at all. I repeat: they are not accepting boxes bigger than 80 linear inches at all. Linear dimensions are the sum of box the dimensions (height+width+length). FYI: Most bike boxes are bigger than 80 linear inches. Cyclelicious also lists the fees charged by the airlines to carry a bike or oversized box.
