Travel bag/case for track bike

I’m looking to buy a travel bag/case that can work with my track bike and my road bike. I’m leaning towards a bag so it can be compacted when in storage. What does everyone have? Are there any workarounds you have found to secure the track bikes narrower chainstays to the bags internal frame?

Track sprinters using Wahoo KICKR Bike: How does it handle max power & standing efforts?

Out of commission on the track for 6–9 months due to an arm and tibia injury from a road crash. I’m looking at the KICKR Bike as a rehab and sprint training platform.

Any feedback from track riders using one would be greatly appreciated!

Track Chain Options

I can get the Sram PC-1 or KMC S-1 Chains for dirt cheap, but I'm worried they may not perform to the level that is needed for actual Track racing. Does anyone have any experiences with either of these chains on the track, and what chain recommendations are there for somewhat budget chains

commonwealth games replays

Anyone have good links to replays of the track events from commies available in the US? I expected them to pop up on YouTube by now but I can't find much, wasn't on Peacock or HBO Max either 🙁

Question about San Diego Velodrome

Hi,

I'll be visiting San Diego and thought it would be fun to watch the Friday night races on August 14. Is there someone I can call to get more information or confirmation the event will be held? There's no phone number on the website.

Also, if someone here has been to a Friday night event at the SD velodrome, I'd like to know more about the viewer experience. I figure I can park in the lot nearby and walk in .... Are there any fees? Anything else my party should know?

Thanks in advance.

BXT 195 vs 695

Looking to build a pursuit/endurance bike for racing. The 695 is “claimed” to be 400g heavier and a bit stiffer.

As a large rider (6’4 and 208-210lbs) with peak power around 1980w I am curious if anyone can confirm which of the two is actually stiffer?

Also, if any taller riders can give insight on seat post height restraints for a size Large that would be great. My road bike BB to Saddle height is ~83cm.
