So we have just 7 days left to go before the Etape, my early season target and what all the training has been about. This week I treated the bike to a new set of wheels, I had some Xero wheels on my mountain bike and having loved how these rode, I bought a set of Xero XSR1 wheels for the Road bike.
Im riding a Cervelo Soloist team frame from 2007, Its an all aluminium aero frame, Cervelo make some of the best professional quality bikes and last years Tour De France was won on Cervelo's.
The Gearing and Braking is taken care of by Shimano Ultegra with an FSA Carbom team chanset. The gear ratios I have set up are 52/39 at the front and a 12-27 at the back.
The bike is topped off with FSA Bars and a stem and a Selle Italia Saddle.
For the Etape I have to take the triathlon bars off the front and I will add 2 normal sized drinks bottles. Ill also be carrying some food and a set of tools.
Preparation is almost there, Ill get the bike serviced at the Local Bike Shop this week, have a final test ride at the club time trial and then pack it away ready for the weekend.
