there are plenty of pros racing on 42 single ring set ups. i was actually complimenting you.

OK, OK. I see that now. I've got a lot to learn about this CX thing. So put me down for a 42 and a 36, 110 bcd. I'll get back to you on the frame.

Mike,
I'd like to publicly say thanks for having me in your show two weeks ago. Those 3 days meant a lot. Hopefully I can return the favor someday.

It was a pleasure having you and Ronnie. I had a ball. Next time, we'll go ride Mt. Greylock.

I love the Z detail on the rings. Maybe 36/44 for me next year!

Obligatory question:You're going to live tweet Cross Vegas for us, right?

[zank]

great call! I'm psyched. Mourey is going to be there. He's one of my faves.

[Dave Kirk]

What material did you decide on for the rings? Any coating?

Very cool project.

Hi Dave,
We are going with 7075 and getting them hard anodized. Kerry has done a few like this and he said they wear like iron. Hopefully they'll last a good long time.
Thanks for checking in!

Good Move.

You'll notice that the Campagnolo rings are not just a 110 bcd with an oblong hole for the behind-the-crankarm bolt. No way. These match the OE rings perfectly. The chain catch pin on the outer is in the correct place. The outers are pinned and ramped for what we hope will be great shifts.

Perfect. Where can I pre-order? I'm a patient man.

This is the bestest smoked out in the history of smoke.

All smoke. Can't afford the mirrors.

[zank]

Mike, those rings look HAWT !

If they go well, it'd be cool to see some 44T for 135 cranks in both 10 and 11 speed.

135s are in the plan. We still have to do some fine measuring to see if there are any real differences between 10 and 11.

Zank, that 44 would have been perfect for my race Sunday. I was in the 46 for most of the race, except the climb which required me to shift. Then my FD stopped working alas.. I know I lost a few places!!

John, you'll be all set for that course next season.

Hi Geoff,
I don't want to put the cart before the horse just yet. But thanks for the interest! Don't worry. When they're ready, you'll know.

[zank]

I love when big boxes of expensive rubber and cotton show up from France.

[Shinomaster]

Oh, those are nice. Didn't know your logo was going to be on them.

[zank]

a little surprise is nice, right?

[Shinomaster]

That's what Cindy tells me.

[zank]

Getting closer...

How do you say in America?

[Jason Musgrave]

Mike you have a [well deserved] reputation as "the cross guy." If you don't mind could you speak to your take on cross geometry--specifically front-end geo? For example, are you a front-center guy or do the majority of your CX rigs end up close to a 72.5ish hta?
