Finally rode on a proper velodrome today. It's a totally awesome experience and would recommend it to everyone. Was on one of the Dolan Pre-Cursas and they are quite nice bikes. I'll post a pic when I get a chance.
Calshot, it's in the middle of no-where and a pain to get to. Apparently it's the oldest indoor velodrome and 2nd steepest in the UK. All I can say it's totally rad. The feeling from dropping in from the top to the bottom is such a rush.
hey i need some input from people rockin platform pedals. i kinda want plastic ones so they can scrape away on corners without potentially damaging my cranks, and also something with great bearings (possibly replaceable bearings? is that an option?) so they'd stay smooth for longer than a few months, especially in the constant rain of winter
im using northeastern bikes (i think) and theyre so crunchy its shocking. i thought my bb was destroyed.

i like my allcity platforms (rebrands of wellgo and a few others if i remember correctly) but they're metal and they've gotten plenty of pedalstrike, and the only thing that happens is a slight wearing down on the edge of the pedal
and the bearings are great
also, i switched over from double strap plastic clips to single strap metal ones... oh my god, so much more power, i love it
