Syklystt,
Glad you came out. even more glad you are planning on racing again.
How old are you?
I race a black market and I love it but I'm likely geared lower than you.
What gearing did you run?

For the Record... Us BMX racers groan about how long the Akron track is!

Im not sure of my gearing, whatever it was from the factory. It's my "rays" bike. I have a 26" OM flyer but the freewheel broke right before the race so it was out (I've never really riddin it yet either).
I have a floppy shock on the front that needs to go also. I do have a rigid fork for it and another set of rims (with diff rear gearing) and I'll be good to go...I'll use clipless next time also but all in all, the gearing was the biggest issue. I would like to try a 24" bike, but I do love to ride that MOB.
That track sure does seem long, but as a crosscountry mountain biker, I'll ride it for hours...just not as fast or course.
Mohican 100 next week guys, now its your turn to do my sport!
Ride On!
