CX mods

On Friday, I made some mods to the CX bike. First off was a 44 tooth large chainring. I swapped the 48 for a 44, in the hopes I could push the big meat longer in a race. It is paired with a 26-12 cassette, so I have a nice range to work with. Next up was a set of tubular wheels. This allows me to run the challenge grifo tubular tire. 34c gives you a tone of air to ride on, and really smooths out the ride on grass, and gravel. Both performed flawlessly yesterday. It is good when the machine performs to your expectations. Stay tuned for a race report.
