JIM VANCE PERFORMANCE ENGAGEMENT- SUCCESS!

Jim Vance's Performance Engagement held at HI-TECH BIKES was a huge success!  (Original Post Here)  We weren't kidding about BYOC (Bring your own chair) as we were filled to capacity and a few dozen people were forced to stand!  Next time if we say, BYOC- we mean it!  We bring the Coach, Pizza, and Drinks- you bring the chair.  Comprendo'? :)

Jim has a unique way of explaining cycling technique and methodology, that is sophisticated yet easy to understand.  It's no wonder many claim him as one of the best coaches available in San Diego.

If you missed out on this session, then you didn't hear about one simple change in your technique that regularly provides a 15-40% MEASURABLE INCREASE IN  POWER ON THE BIKE.  Wanna to know what it is?  Well- you didn't attend, so now you gotta contact the man himself...   :)   JIM VANCE RACING

TIP OF THE WEEK- "CROSS CHAINING"

Cross chaining, this is a short tip but very important.

Cross chaining is when you are in the big ring in the front and the big ring in the back. You can do it on some bikes, but look at what is happening with the chain. It will be bent coming off the big ring and bent coming off the back large cog causing it to wear really fast, not in length but it gets really sloppy and causes misshifts prematurely and can actually come apart causing an accident. Cross chaining is also done at the other end, don't go small/small. There are shift pins built into the large chainring in the front on the inside to help the chain jump up faster onto it, when you are small/small the chain will actually rub off the sharp points on those pins and will lessen the crispness of the shift as well as wear out the chain faster. Going small/small also makes the chain loose and when you hit a bump it can actually come off. Always try and stay in the mid gears and keep your chain as straight as possible, you can get much longer life from it and be safer too.

3T Zefiro Team Time Trial Bicycle Aerobars

"ZEFIRO fuses the power and control of the road racer’s drop bar with the low-drag form of the chrono rider’s aerobar. The base unit combines variable-radius, shallow-drop bends with the aero wing of MISTRAL. Additionally, it has the unique Pi Wing™, an adjustable forward extension with an aerofoil handrest. The rider’s forearms rest on broad silicon pads on the basebar’s upper surface, while the hands and wrists fall into a natural, ergonomic position on the handrest.  The result is a hybrid that provides super comfort for long solo efforts into the wind, and full control for out-of-the-saddle efforts in the bunch. It should also bring performance and comfort benefits to amateur century and sportive riders and triathlon contestants."-from 3T website

Want to see this in person?  Come to HI-TECH BIKES, we have one on display waiting for you.
