More of the CycloBraaap
So my boy from KC, Kal, sent me some fantastic pics of our time in Mol. But I've been watching this photographer's site and he now has some great photos of the Flanders Indoor 'Cross you should scope out. This town of Hasselt was close to where we were camped out in Blauberg.
Check out his 'cross galleries here.

Thanks for the pic link. Stay away from the carbon bling FSA wheels. Buy some notubes wheels instead!
You must be joking! Those FSA 488's are about the most bomber piece of equipment I've purchased in the last 2 years. In fact, would love a second set. The only change I'd make is to put the spoke nipples on the rim versus recessed (as Zipp did following customer advice last year). They are definitely legit from my perspective considering the abuse I put them through for 2 seasons! That said, I have witnessed too many notube/tubless failures on the trail. I think it's a great set up but for bigger tires (e.g. 45 or bigger tires....mounted to 26 or 29 hoops). 32 or 34 in a tubeless just wouldn't be able to provide that similar tubeless 'feel for cross let alone the low tire pressures needed some time for courses. Yes, I can run tubeless lower on my MTB's that I can with tubes/tires, but I wouldn't touch it for cross yet.
I must be brainwashed by Legg's rants on FSA. Notubes...it works, when you do it right. But only when you do it right.
