T-Mobile Bike setup on track
本週三在加州的Carson ADT Event Center Velodrome 發表新的車隊版t-mobile設定與計時賽車種
並且也將限量出售這些車(TCR Advanced Team T-Mobile edition)
這些車乃是吸收了t-mobile車隊隊員們上個賽季許多的意見改良而來
大部分最能明顯察覺到新車改變的，不外乎是五通的剛性增強，而這也是t-mobile隊員們最想要的
這款限量車種，整體的剛性比起過往增強了15%
而為了不讓這增強的剛性給車手帶來更不舒適的騎乘感受
giant也將下管與上管削薄藉以緩衝這不適感，增加操控的舒適度
新車的重量與過往相似，但是透過更加粗壯的五通與鏈叉擁有了更強悍的剛性
並且繼續沿用風靡歐洲但在美國並不看好的整合式坐桿設計(integrated seat post)
什麼又是integrated seat post？它能較過往的設計節省約40克的重量，並且一次設定到定位
不像過去的坐管設計，會不知不覺的慢慢滑下來
但缺點也在於該設定只能適用於一位車手，無法共用
因為大概只有2公分的調整空間而已，以方便調整當更換卡式踏板系統或坐墊所造成的高度上的誤差
而這樣的後三角全面性的整合強化，當然能提升騎乘的效益
車手Michael Barry 與 Michael Rogers 在 Tour of California 開始前，竭盡所能的測試了這款計時賽賽車
當我問到Barry 在這室內計時賽車場試騎這款車時，他的感受
他回答：還不賴！我之前在這類場地騎過很多次，但這次我必須按煞車慢下來，這是非常大的不同！
這款計時車有著非常低的五通高度與較長的曲柄，導致你必須考量到該如何慢下來
Barry透過反向的思考，以騎乘一般道路的時候或有風洞效應時解釋這項設計的優點：在這室內場地一切都是靜態的，風阻不是一個變數，你可以作一些改變，當然其他的要素必須是相同的，當你在測試某項變數的時候
在這裡能獲得比風洞測試更好的效果，因為在風洞測試的時候，往往是處於非常低的空氣力學姿勢(aerodynamically)但這並不能代表你能發揮平時的能量
Rogers 證實他的這項說法：在這室內自行車賽車場，很多變數獲得控制
沒有了風阻與其他變數，這些資料可以更準確
我們有非常尖端的力量測量儀器，可以探知最微小的變化
但他也說到，風洞測試所獲得的資訊，能夠讓你在實際姿勢與模擬賽事時的姿勢之間進行調整，以獲得相同的出力
因為在實際賽事中，它是更加劇烈的
新的 Giant TCR Advanced Team T-Mobile bike 售價是 US$6,000，現在起有200台可以在美國的車店買到

SRAM issues road brake recall
SRAM's official statement:
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
SRAM will conduct a voluntary recall of a limited number of SRAM Force front road brakes which may have faulty titanium mounting bolts. This issue has since been corrected, and does not affect all Force front brake mounting bolts.
SRAM will replace any Force front brake assemblies produced within the specified time frame.
SRAM is currently in the process of contacting all affected customers. While the expected failure rate is low it was determined that it is in the best interest of our customers and consumers to be pro-active in replacing product in question. We have put in place personnel and logistics in each continent to execute the recall as fast and smoothly as possible.
SRAM is actively working with the Consumer Product Safety Commission in the USA on this issue. A CPSC notice will follow this notification in mid February. Replacement brakes are in warehouses in the USA, Europe, and Asia to facilitate the replacement effort. We apologize for the inconvenience to our customers, dealers, and cyclists and remain committed to providing you excellent quality.
SRAM FORCE 前煞車召回，詳請請見此
肇因於前煞車中的鈦製 mounting bolt 的加工上問題而非設計上的失誤
"It's not a design issue, it's a materials issue," said Zellmann, SRAM's PR and media manager.
回收的依據如下：
Date Codes/Range Affected
1.No date code
2.Original date code range: 01JUNE06 to 15SEPT06 (date code indicated production day, month and year)
3.Current date code range: 35T6XXXXXXX to 39T6XXXXXXX (first two digits indicate week of production, 2006)
至於二級的RIVAL則沒有這樣的問題，因為它用的是鋼製的mounting bolt
