at Direct from Fuji Model Year:
2006 Favorite Ride:
Velodrome, Trexlertown PA Bike Setup:
The bike come with 81" gearing, 48/16. That's OK, but a little too small for longer races. The clincher rims can be OK, but it's worth the investment in better tires with more pressure. Standard crank is 170mm on models 56-60. The KMC Z-410 chain is OK but I can see upgrading to a stronger one when it's time to replace it or if it breaks. Summary:
This forum isn't really set up for track... I am a recreational track rider, just getting into the sport because I live near a velodrome and they have great programs. I bought the bike mostly to avoid the inconvenience of swapping out my SPD pedals with the toe-clips on the track's bikes before and after each practice, and to give me the chance to go to the track and practice on my own. This is an affordable bike if you want to try the sport out. Strengths:
Affordability. There are just a few bikes in this price range, I don't know much about them, but based on the folks I ride with I'd say the Fuji Track is most comparable to the Bianci Pista (not the "Concept" just the regular Pista) It does what you need it to do, and if you're just starting out, it's a great bike. Weaknesses:
The tires are clinchers, and only of average quality. They hold 110 psi, and stronger tires with more pressure will roll faster. The chainring is not a size common to all track bikes, so you can't trade with or borrow from people at the track, you'll probably need to order them if you want to change the front gear (no problems with the rear cog, though) Similar Products Used:
I've only had the chance to ride other bikes the track owns. Serrotta, and GT as well as older Fuji track. Fuji seems to be the lightest of the three.
