RACE REPORT
Jim Turner of the Webcor/Alto Velo cycling team scored a 5th place finish on his Airborne X-1 in the Master's National Time Trial Championships held in Park City Utah earlier this year. Jim said he was very delighted with his result and can't wait for next year. Earlier in the year Jim finished 2nd in the 65 to 69 age group at the district time trial championship in Sattley CA. Way to go Jim!

TECH TIP: Bottom Bracket Maintenance
Once or twice a year it is always a good idea to pull out your bottom bracket to clean out the bottom bracket shell.  Since winter is approaching and you are probably spending more time watching videos of guys riding bikes than riding the bike yourself, now would be a good time for this.  Once the bottom bracket has been removed, grab a cloth or rag, wipe out as much of the grit and grime as possible that has collected inside.  Most of all make sure that the threads are clear of any bits of sand and grit.  Once the shell has been completely cleaned, apply grease to the threads on both sides.  We use Teflon-Fortified Grease from Finish Line for this application.  Then we take one extra step.  We wrap the threads of the bottom bracket itself three to four times on each side with Teflon tape.  This combination will reduce any occurrences of the dreaded bottom bracket creak and will help keep grit and grim from getting into the bottom bracket shell.
