    cyclefitcentre.com/pedal pushers December, 2009 ph: 83388911 fx:83388922 newsletter Bloody hell, 10 months since a newsletter! Yeah, it’s been a while and plenty has happened in that time but we’ve been so busy there was no time to write this. What ever is going on in the wider world, the GFC has had a positive affect on us. Consider this a condensed version of the last 10 months. Just the highlights! Jayson Austin breaks the Masters Hour Record. Old news for some of you, but Jays got over last years disappointment in fine style by breaking the existing record by 2.6 kms! He promises to have a real go next time which might just be next year. Note the interesting placement of his SRM computer head Dura Ace Di2 As someone who has owned both Mavic Zap and Mavic Mektronic, I was interested to see Shimano’s iteration of electric shifting and give it a workout. By now you’ve read all about it but from my point of view the most impressive thing is the front derailleur shifting. When shifting up or down with the front derailleur on any bike that I’ve ridden, the rider needs to back off their pedaling effort for a pedal stroke or part pedal stroke to allow the chain to move up to the big ring or down from the big ring. Not with Di2. Off the seat, giving it everything you’ve got, the Di2 front derailleur will just shift without drama………….. and quickly. Coach Alex letti ng Jays know that he’s only 2.5kms up on the THE group set at the moment.

  • The Hour Record Game Videopaperpan
    The Hour Record Game The Hour Record for bicycle is about to ride as long distance as possible in one hour on a velodrome. An hour record attempt demands performing on the edge of physical and mental capacity, and in order to beat the record the athlete has to prepare for months and years. As a simulacrum for such an attempt, as of 15th December 2015 at the A-Venue in Gothenburg, the composer, improviser, and in this case cyclist, Per Anders Nilsson challenged himself to cycle on an indoor trainer for 60 minutes at his lactate threshold: an average heart rate of 180 bpm. Video snippets from previous “real” attempts, as well as his heart bpm was displayed and used in the live electronic music that accompanied the event. Nilsson succeeded to meet his challenge, averaging 181 bpm during 60 minutes. As a voice- over to a video documentary of the event, the author shares memories and reflections from the performance, interspersed with quotes from previous and present hour record holders, as well as theoretical perspectives on subject matter. The video displayed is an edited version of the whole performance, approx. 12 minutes. Video: Erik Jeppsson; music: Palle Dahlstedt and Olle Petersson; other voice over: Gino Robair. Biography Per Anders Nilsson (1954) PhD. /Professor, Improvising electronic musician and electroacoustic composer. Studied saxophone and electroacoustic music from 1981-87 at the School of Music at University of Gothenburg. In 2011, he finished his PhD thesis A Field of Possibilities: Designing and Playing Digital Musical Instruments. Was commissioned with the acousmatic piece La gamme voiture XM by GRM in Paris 1999.

Programme Design and Monitoring . 465 5. Conclusion . 466 Abstract Track cycling events range from a 200m flying sprint (lasting 10 to 11 seconds) to the 50km points race (lasting ≈1 hour). Unlike road cycling competitions where most racing is undertaken at submaximal power outputs, the shorter track events require the cyclist to tax maximally both the aerobic and anaerobic (oxygen independent) metabolic pathways. Elite track cyclists possess key physical and physiological attributes which are matched to the specific requirements of their events: these cyclists must have the appropriate genetic predisposition which is then maximised through effective training interventions. With advances in tech- nology it is now possible to accurately measure both power supply and demand variables under competitive conditions.

    EQUIPMENT history equipment Fifty years have passed since Fausto Coppi 1949 first claimed victory in the tour de France. COPPI’S BIANCHI Rob Rixon takes a look at the bikes of winners from each of the decades that followed… FAUSTO COPPI’S BIANCHI WEIGHED IN AT JUST UNDER 10KG AND represented the absolute pinnacle of cycling technology in the post-WWII era. The one-inch threaded headset, alloy tubular wheels and toe clips seen here would be a mainstay of professional road bikes until well into the late 1980s. In contrast to the other bikes on these pages, Coppi’s Bianchi didn’t use a Campagnolo system to select gears. The reason: a sponsorship agreement with French manufacturer Simplex. His rear derailleur features a pair of pulleys that are mounted to a single shaft that telescopes to move back and forth across the four cogs in the cassette. On a modern derailleur, a parallelogram keeps the pulleys aligned with the path of the chain. To shift between chainrings, the Italian would reach down and pull or Words: ROB RIXON push the large lever mounted to the seat tube. PHoTOS: YUZURU SUNADA SIMPLE IS BETTER… A small length of chain attached to the end of the derailleur cable negotiates the sharp bend at the entry of the Simplex changer (far left). Cottered cranks used a pin that ran through the crank arm to secure it to the spindle (centre left). the chainstay has been crimped to give clearance to the 44-tooth inner chainring.

  • The Science Behind the Bike the History of the Hour Record
    The Science Behind the Bike The History of the hour Record Commentator History in the making and one of the sports greatest moments. Chris Boardman is now the holder of the most coveted cycling record in the world. Graham Obree It is the ultimate pure time trial. Chris Boardman It’s incredibly risky because there is no second place. You win or your lose. Graham Obree What there is is a track – black line – and a clock. THE SCIENCE BEHIND THE BIKE THE HISTORY OF THE HOUR RECORD Presenter The world hour record measures the distance a cyclist can travel around the track in one hour. While Olympic distances and events have changed many times over the years the basic conditions for the hour record remain the same. Since the first record was set in 1876 on a penny-farthing the hour record has been regarded as the ultimate test of an individual’s strength and stamina. Chris Boardman MBE Three times World Hour Record Holder The hour record was always sort of like your blue ribboned record within cycling and all that the greats .. That’s really what attracted us to it to actually get a name on the – on the trophy as it were alongside of Eddy Merckx and Francesco Moser and some you know real all time cycling greats. Presenter The bench mark for the modern day hour record was set by legendary Belgian cyclist Eddy Merckx in 1972. He covered a distance of 49.432 kilometres on a traditional bike. The record stood until the 1980’s when the introduction of science and technology to cycling launched a remarkable period of twenty years during which the record was repeatedly broken.

  • Cyclist Subjectivity: Corporeal Management and the Inscription of Suffering
    Brian Joseph Gilley: Cyclist subjectivity: Corporeal management and the inscription of suffering Cyclist subjectivity: Corporeal management and the inscription of suffering Brian Joseph Gilley University of Vermont, [email protected] ABSTRACT The body of the European road cyclist, gaunt faced and emaciated but with enormous muscled legs, is an indelible image. This image has been venerated and paro- died by film, literature and used in nationalist propaganda. The heroic persona of the cyclist who shapes their body to maximize strength-to-weight ratios further reinforces discourses of body management. Yet, the men who exhibit the superhuman strength to endure the requisite suffering are also docile bodies continually put through disciplinary regiments by their team directors, sponsors, the cycling industry and themselves. It is this contradiction between the veneration of individual suffering and cyclist as a form of subjectivity where we can investigate the ways in which the cycling industry naturalizes techniques of domination. KEYWORDS: cycling, subjectivity, the body, suffering, discipline Introduction The body culture of professional road cycling exemplifies the nexus of historical nuanced processes and the demands of modernity. Over the course of the development of road cycling as a professional sport, athletes have subjected themselves to not only the rigors of training but also to the rigors of national and social projects that seek to draw political meaning and economic reward from their physical movement. The modern cyclist is one that seeks to adhere to a body culture of technological profundity and systems of bodily discipline. Accordingly, the cycling subject is constructed along the corporeal axis of suffering and disciplinary regiments that bring the individual into line with the expecta- tions and discourses of the cycling body culture.
