TECH & Train

Tech

So you've got your race entry, been logging some miles on the singletrack, and are starting to think about how you're going to baby your ride through this process. Well, we've got you covered! BCBR has partnered with Obsession: Bikes to create a thorough and reliable Bike Tech Program for the 7 Stages of BC Bike Race 2008.

BCBR Bike Tech Manager and Obsession: Bikes proprietor, James Wilson, and his wiley crew of wrenches will keep your bike dialed for the duration! And, in the meantime, if you have any tech questions, just Ask Crazy Lou, Obsession: Bikes tech guru...he's here to help!

For those of you who are more self-sufficient and want to fix your own bike daily, we will provide 2 bike stands and 2 pumps for you to use; however, please bring your own tools. And, out of courtesy for racers who've opted to pay for Bike Tech services, kindly refrain from seeking advice or tools from the mechanics who are busy working on bikes. Our amazing Bike Tech Mechs have to work through a couple hundred bikes each and every day throughout the race and need to stay focused on the task at hand.

Train
