Have done a couple of long rides recently on my old BZ (Before Zinn) bike. Was an interesting excercise.
I've got a bike in my garage that illustrates the proportional length crank philosophy that is one of the cornerstones of the design philosophy of Zinn Cycles. It's not a Zinn bike - but even so - it's still pretty cool...
If you’ve ever done squats in the weights room – you’ll know that you can cheat by not squatting all the way. You can seemingly lift more weight – but it’s a false economy as you don’t get the full strength gains that a deep squat can give.
This year - as a Team Zinn member - I'm going to regularly post short blogs about me and my Dolomite Ti's advances towards my goals for this year.
Saturday started cool and dry and turned to pouring rain in the middle of my race. Fortunately, I had opted for tires with good tread (Dugast Typhoons) rather than fine tread, which would have been faster in the conditions at the start but which would have been sliding all over the place in the mud that formed rapidly the last two laps. I had lots of catching up to do in both races, since I started in the very back row both days. Unlike local races, in which riders are called to the line based on their points totals, the USGP in my and Emily's categories do not have a points category of their own and don't honor any other. Call-ups are based entirely on order that registration was received, and we registered late.
This past weekend was the Cyclocross Nationals in Wisconsin. Not as much snow as we were used to from racing cyclocross in Colorado this season, and overall a great event. Here are some photos.
When building a bike for Di2, there are many ways of arranging the wiring. Some run the cables externally, and some run them internally. Several different ways of mounting the battery have also surfaced since the advent of Shimano's electronic component group. Read on and check out these images to see how we at Zinn Cycles have achieved a very sleek and elegant system for Di2 with minimal compromise in the frame's structural integrity.
