A 48x14 will give you a roll out of in excess of 7 metres per revolution. The USCF gear restriction for a junior your age is (converted from imperial) 6.6294 metres. Therefore your claimed time did not occur in competition. Gear restrictions are in place to protect pre adolescent and adolescent growing bodies. 1 km TT's are only USCF events commencing at 18 years of age. Up till that age the maximum is a 500m TT. Your claimed time of 1.07 is about 5 seconds quicker than the US open female record. Nitrogenmustard, can you see why readers of your post are having a credibility problem?

Veloflash u make a good point with the credibility of nitrogenmustard's claim being a little difficult to believe, I'm not saying it isnt true though........
Nitrogenmustard is there any way that you can somehow verify this time? how was it timed and who timed it? I really am quite jealous of you as my PB is 1.10 and i am 22! And i rode the same gear 92.6. |

Re: kilometer times
Also, I wonder if nitrogenmustard's time is taken from a standing start, not a flying start (makes a big difference).

Not a BIG difference. Only 4-5 seconds. This is the time a pursuiter allows for when plotting his/her race strategy. 15 year old nitrogenmustard claims to have ridden 1.07.300 on a concrete outdoor track using a 92.6" gear. Concrete is not as fast as boards. Outdoor any wind ends up a net detriment because of the exponential outcome when riding into the wind (if you go in a circle you must meet the wind head on somewhere)

It's dodgy. 1.07 is absolutely flying outdoors on concrete fora senior rider. |
