This means that over the course of an hour, Brändle will be aiming for 256 laps rather than 205, and with that come an extra 102 corners.</p> <p>Corners are the most technically difficult part of an Hour ride. There is the potential to lose distance by taking a poor line, something that is even more of an issue for a relatively inexperienced track rider like Brändle.</p> <p>But perhaps more significant, there are the g-forces to contend with, which push the rider and his bike down onto the track through each curve. These make it harder to maintain a stable aero position on the bike, and mean an hour-long ride on a velodrome is considerably more fatiguing and uncomfortable than it would be, even using the same bike and position, on the road. And of course on a smaller track, not only do the corners come about more often, they’re a little more pronounced."</p> <p>Read more at <a href="http://www.cyclingweekly.co.uk/news/latest-news/hour-record-preview-matthias-brandle-141930#I7k7c1HFRdPLb6oK.99" rel="nofollow">http://www.cyclingweekly.co.uk/news/latest-news/hour-record-preview-matthias-brandle-141930#I7k7c1HFRdPLb6oK.99</a> </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=13444#post-170323 Thu, 30 Oct 2014 22:22:24 +0000 Kenny 170323@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VYqVdAI-1zw" rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VYqVdAI-1zw</a> </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=13444#post-170321 Thu, 30 Oct 2014 22:17:05 +0000 Kenny 170321@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>51.852km, an improvement of 742 metres. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=13444#post-170313 Thu, 30 Oct 2014 20:26:57 +0000 SRD 170313@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Was on YouTube link via cycling weekly I think </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=13444#post-170312 Thu, 30 Oct 2014 20:19:22 +0000 chdot 170312@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Where?
