First track session today on my new ride.
A bit of tweaking needed on the saddle as it's not level.
Nice, what wheels and tyres are you using? Do you just ride over to HH on it before training as well, or can you keep it at the track?
For a tiny fee they have shipping containers for storing bikes. Today I rode over which without brakes was bloody scary!
Rims are Planet X 50mm tubs with Vittoria Pista CS tubular tyres. I think I would go with tub tape next time as gluing was messy/hassle and I doubt you can roll a tub at a velodrome?

Maybe not at Herne Hill but if you're ever planning to go to Lea Valley then tubs must be glued on, tub tape is not up to proper indoor banking.

Finally got my application in for the Lee Valley Winter Track League. Hoping I get a place so I can actually start racing proper on the boards!
