Je länger des Rennen umso eher Fully - de Pros aus Amerika fahren de ersten 3 Stunden Hardtail und dann (bzw. spätestens bei Einbruch der Nacht) Fully. Nimm doch beide Bikes mit! (Da Nat machts auch so)

The young gun from Great Bend, Kansas faced off with the biggest names in 24-hour racing at the NORBA 24 Hour Solo championships over the weekend, and Cameron is the one who walked away with the victory. The Subaru-Gary Fisher endurance specialist came into the race with a well-reasoned game based on his knowledge of the course from last year. He was going to ride consistent lap times and gamble that he could make up any time that he lost early in the race to the speed freaks. The strategy worked, and the 24-hour-racing rising star earned his first Stars and Stripes jerseys. This weekend's race started off furiously. "There was a ton of energy there," says Cameron's teammate Nat Ross. "The start was awesome, the crowd was bigger then last year and it was the fiercest lineup I've ever seen at a 24-hour race." Cameron agrees, "Everybody was there. Chris, Tinker, Nat, Hendershot and Sloan, you just knew at the start of the race that it was going to be blazing fast. As soon as we headed out it was clear that Chris wanted to open up a gap on everyone. He kept attacking and Nat kept chasing us up. But I had a pretty set game plan coming into this race. I made a calculated choice to throttle back and settle into my pace. I don't know if I could count on that strategy to win me races every time, but with the temperature what it was it turned out to be the game winner for me." Reigning World Champion Chris Eatough has set the standard for how 24-hour racing has worked for the last few years. His strategy is to go out at a World Cup pace and try to shed the competition early, then settle into his pace and defend the lead. This weekend that strategy backfired for him and anyone who chose to follow his attacks. Many of the early contenders ended up dropping out with heat-related ailments. When the sun went down the temperature dropped and Cameron had settled into a steady pace. "My team didn't tell me right away that I had passed Chris. They wanted me to do another lap to make sure that I had a gap. When they told me I just lit up, it changes the way that you look at the race when you are winning. The rest of the race was really hard but I got some energy from being the leader." "This course is perfect for the bike," says Cameron referring to his Fisher Two-Niner. "It was super flowy and fast and I was able to relax and still go pretty fast. I think it was a real advantage being one of the only top guys on big wheels." 24-hour racing has gotten incredibly competitive in the last few years. The guys at the top of the solo class are getting more support from their sponsors, the stakes are higher and the racing is more intense. Pit stops and an experienced crew have become of critical importance. The race doesn't slow down for the racer when they pit, they need to be in and out as fast as possible. Cameron's dedicated crew is as focused and well trained as he is and they were a critical part of his success. Cameron will recover for a week before heading to Ohio for the Mohican 100. Then at the end of June he will compete in the 24 Hours of Big Bear, the successor to Snowshoe promoted by Granny Gear.

Ja das müsste sich machen lassen - reichen auch Pommes & Putenfleisch vom McD ??? (dort gehts schneller wie am Griller)

Natürlich werden wir auch Vereinsmitglieder wie den Herrn Thomas W. verpflegen - Führender der Schmeewertung. Was gedenkst du denn zu dir nehmen zu wollen? Pommes ???

A Alternative is der Bontrager Jones ACX - aber mit den beiden Reifen kommst sicher aus de san a Traum. Schläuche entweder an Michelin Latex 26" (wenns leicht sein soll) und sonst den normalen Bontrager !!!

Ja anscheinend soll das so sein es war ja für alle Fahrer ein reines "Trainingsrennen" und der Herr Topfunktionär scheint nu a bissal Sorgen zu haben wegen zu wenigen Radkilometern ....

De Streckn woa a Hammer - und de Hitze dann nu dazu - leider hab ich bis zur zweiten Runde gebraucht bis ich in dritt gekommen bin und da war der Erwin schon 1 Minute weg !!!

Naja das Beste 29er is eindeutig a Fisher ich würd mir ein X-Caliber oder ein Paragon kaufen - wennst ned soviel Geld ausgeben willst a Dual Sport Modell Bei uns fahren alle die von Fisher - des san einfach de besten Bikes !!!

Gut die kenn ich auch aber die Versandkosten :-(

Ich bin auf der Suche nach einem Airborne Händler der die Teile (also nicht Rahmen) sondern Lenker, Barends, .. hat - weiss da jemand einen ???

Na des ned weil da muss man eben auch reinrücken mit den Barends ich will welche die ich außen an den Lenker gebe. (außerdem gibts Quellen woher man de bekommt)

Ich hab mal gesehen, dass es Barends gibt die man von außen ähnlich den alten Vorbauten in den Lenker schraubt. Vorteil: man verliert keine Breite des Lenkers. Weiss jemand wo es solche gibt oder von welchem Hersteller?

Kannst eam den Tip geben uns ah zu filmen ??? Übrigens freut mich das wir uns mal wieder treffen ...

Keine Angst lieber Birki - ich war nur kurz etwas sauer und hab daher etwas überregaiert. :devil: Ich hoffe wir sehen uns am Sonntag oder ??? @ Seeker Ich kenn dich nicht und will auch jetzt nix mehr darüber schreiben aber ich hab genug Geschäfte gemacht im BB im mtb-news.de Forum und auf Ebay und bis jetzt sind alle zur Zufriedenheit der Käufer/Verkäufer gewesen. Also Nur keinen Stress !!!

Ja da hast richtig geschätzt - also ich würd das Licht so richten dass sich mindestens 9 besser 10 Stunden damit gut ausgehen dann bist auf der sicheren Seite !!!

Dafür wird wohl keine Zeit bleiben aber wenn du in der Früh mal anklopfst brav beim Zelt dann kanns sein dass ich dich auf ein Stück Kuchen einlade !!!

Vielleicht schaff ichs ja noch einen Kuchen für dich zu Backen !!! :devil:

Gosau wird besser werden des garantier ich dir - ach ja des mit der Verpflegung steht alles auf der Homepage - genaue Leser wissen mehr !!!

@ criz & michi Danke für die Rückendeckung - wo ist des Problem ich hab das Bike angeboten dann wurde das Bike meiner Freundin gestohlen also hab ichs zurückgezogen. Jetzt hab ichs angeboten um 150 € du wolltest es für 100 € (normal schon das eine Frechheit) und jemadn anderer hat mir eben die 150 € geboten! @ ahorn Ich hab noch nie jemanden beschissen hier und du hast einfach noch nie Geschäfte gemacht !!! :k:

Des einzige "schwierige" ist eine kurze Abfahrt mit vielleicht 200 Metern länge überhaupt nix tragisches !!! Und Bilder sagen ja mehr als .... :-) http://24h-mtb.at/2005/_uploads//_fotos/1005.jpg http://24h-mtb.at/2005/_uploads//_fotos/1003.jpg

So steil hab i den nimmer in Erinnerung - aber sonst is recht gut worden meine Beschreibung oder ???

Gleich nach dem Start nach ca. 500 m gibts einen Uphill (~ max. 15 %) mit ca. 70 - 80 Hm dann gehts auf Forststraßen recht schnell in Richtung Ansteig 2 ein "gschmierter" Berg ca. 40 Hm dann DH im Singletrail weiter auf Forststraßen und dann Wiesenweg wieder mit einer kleinen Schupfn (ca. 20 HM) und einem Singletrail auf eine Schotter/Asphaltstraße flach zurück ins Ziel.

Nat Ross Diary - Preparing for 24 Hour Solo Nationals and the European Championships 5/11/2005 So, with two weeks to go until the NORBA 24 Hour National Championships in Spokane, Washington, the pressure is high. It has been five years since I have won the Stars and Stripes Jersey. In fact to date, the jersey has been in my hands once, Tinker Juarez's twice, and Chris Eatough's twice. That's how fresh the 24 hour solo racing category is. This year National Champs feature a fierce lineup including my teammate Cameron Chambers, Mark Hendershot, along with Tinker and Chris. The course at Spokane suits my style of racing and favors my big wheels. I race on 29-inch wheels and really feel like I have an advantage on this year's course because it is a full-throttle rolling singletrack. Last year at Nationals I pedaled 304 miles in 24 Hours. So, what does it take to get ready for an event like this? Let's just say that it is not an easy task. For starters, I have been training non-stop since January. My whole training schedule centers on this race and the European Championships two weeks later. My coach has me focusing more on speed-work and attacks this season. I've been more aggressive in my racing and that should help me tremendously come race day. I have been racing the NORBA marathons to get prepared as well as shorter mountain bike races, and the occasional road race. Right now, I'm ranked fourth overall in the NORBA Marathon standings. Just an example of my training--yesterday I rode for three hours to a road criterium. Raced, and then rode back home in the dark (total ride time 5.5 hrs). This week alone I have already trained 22 hours and still have plenty of time remaining in the saddle. That is part of the training and work it takes to be competitive in a 24 hour solo race. But wait there's more. They call it a solo race, but for those who have been there know that it is far from a solo effort. I have one of the best crews on the entire planet. My girlfriend Janis heads the crew, along with a great mechanic Brett and my manager, Jon. They will be awake the whole time working on my bikes, charging and changing my lights, preparing food, giving me splits, keeping me motivated, filling my hydration pack, getting me my necessary supplements, cheering, getting great play lists ready on my iPod, and handing me cans of Go Fast. I'm sure that I will keep them plenty busy with other tasks as well. For the past couple of days I have been organizing my equipment in my garage. I have completely gone over all of my bikes, set up my night helmet with lights, tested and marked my Light and Motion batteries, organized everything including: chamois cream, salt tablets, gel flasks, CO2's, tubes, tires, spare bike parts, tools, drink mixes, packs, bladders, sunglasses, radios, cook wear/utensils, cook stove, coolers, lantern, headlights, food, clothes, shoes, pump, stand, storage bins, hangers, table and chairs, All this is supposed to fit into bins and then into my Subaru Outback and then into a 10X10 tent with my crew. That's one of the reasons that these races are so crazy. I am sure that the racing alone is another, but we will let that speak for itself. I have one week left of training and then a taper week leading me to the big showdown. So wish me luck. I know that I am ready this year, but I'm sure the other guys feel the same way. I've got faith in my ability, faith in my equipment, and most importantly, faith in my team. Stay tuned. I'm out. (Quelle: http://www.fisherbikes.com) :devil:
