The BMC Team Elite came together nicely I’d say. 21 pounds and ready to accelerate – straight out of Switzerland!
This weekend’s stage race will be a good test of the legs and of the mind. Fontana was a mixed bag, so I’m excited for another shot this weekend. It all kicks off with a Super D (really its a TT, yet they call it Super D) this evening. With any luck I won’t get any spokes busted out of my wheel in the STXC Saturday and on Sunday it’ll be full on, all the time. The XC course at McDowell is relentless with little if any chance of recovery. Almost in a Chequamegon style you have to pedal all of the time…
More from the weekend. I’m off to the races, -TJ

The bike’s a beaut. How’d she ride?
Nice and fast. A new pr with 25th in the XC!
nice ride, what tire combo do you use with the stans wheels. i cannot seem to get a tire that holds air on my stans race ztr wheels for much more than 8 hours.
I’ve got the Maxxis Monorail tires on the ZTR rims now, but I’ve used a number of tires (normal tube-type and UST type) with great luck. Perhaps your setup is losing air due to an inadequate amount of sealant in the tire or perhaps your rim strip (or yellow tape) isn’t properly situated. When setup correctly they’ll hold their pressure much better than even a UST rim/tire setup. Often times I won’t have to add air even after it’s been more than a week…
thanks for the tip.
