This is my first time using the newly designed and fabricated Printed Circuit Boards. I am pumped!
I just stumbled across some photos of the battery powered OpenSprints being used at the Bike Film Festival back in August. It was a great time, and it was great to be able to run a race outside in full daylight at a block party. Bike film festival 2008 was great, I can't wait for next year.
We got a 6 device test run of the Printed Circuit Boards. They are beautiful and work great. I'll post some pictures of them when I assemble my next setup. But here are pictures of the CADs that got sent off to be etched:
If you are in the new york area and want to see these brand new boards in action, go check out Squid, Carlos, marc and company at the I-Cycle Throwdown:
The NOLA Racing team has put together an Open Sprints rig! I am pretty happy for them. They have had one event already and they are doing another real soon:
If you are close to New Orleans, I suggest you check it out. Here are some pictures from their last event:
I stumbled across a guide to making a fork mount today. These are probably not as safe as the Kreitler variety, but they could be welded directly onto the rollers, eliminating the need for platforms to hold the formkounts down. Has anyone out there managed to build their own forkmounts?
I have been bitten by the Distributed Version Control bug, and am no longer happy with subversion. Git should make it much easier for each city's OpenSprints operators to maintain their own customized version of the source code. Browse the new repo:
