I have
three identical bikes for this 2006/7 season and have been provided
by Guerciotti - they are the prettiest bikes I have ever had
The frame is called a X Crow and is a full carbon frame. The frame
weighs ess than 1.4kg. |

 |
I use
shimano Dura-ace 10 speed equipment with a Taya chain.
|
||||||
 |
I use SPD PD-M959 pedals. They are double sided and have a lot of clearance in the pedal to reduce the amount of mud that can gather during a race. | ||||||
 |
This year I have been converted to Selle Italia SLR saddles and my cyclo-cross bike has the prettiest saddle in the world with pink roses on it!! Plus for any one who thinks about these things it weighs just 125grams!! | ||||||
 |
I use schwalbe CX pro light 700 x 32C tyres on ksyrium wheels. | ||||||
| think the
most important aspect of a cyclo-cross bike is the wheels. I have
quite a few sets of wheels each with differing tyres and tubs to use
in different conditions. The advantage of tubs is that you can run
them at a lower pressure to give you more grip and when you puncture
you can still ride them without them falling off the rim (as I found
out at the Europeans last year!!!)
I have 3 cyclo-cross bikes all of which are set up identically so when I swap bikes during a race there are no differences. My bikes are provided for me by Fat Birds Don’t Fly bike shop, Hunstanton (www.fatbirds.co.uk). The teams tyres and tubs are supplied by Schwalbe and the chains
by Taya chains. |
