TIME Edge Racer Review 2009

This is my TIME Edge bicycle. 

I use Campagnolo Quickshift Ergolevers because they are Campagnolo's lightest shifter. 

These carbon Campagnolo Centaur cranks come stock with Record level chainrings. 

Campagnolo components are made in Vicenza, Italy. 

I was a professional bicycle racer in Italy for 2 years on Team Saeco. We used Campagnolo components. 

The handlebar and stem come from 3T. 

            The TIME Quickset headset system does not require the use of a star-nut expansion plug. 

I am using Fizik handlebar tape. 

I am careful to always torque my stem and handlebar bolts to the manufacturer's recommendation. 

These Zero Gravity brakes seem to slow me down OK. 

I am experimenting with cork brake pads on alloy rims. 

I built these wheels. 

These DT Swiss R1.1 rims have a single eyelet construction. 

The DT Swiss 240R hub flange will accommodate 0 cross pattern lacing. 

I'm using DT Swiss skewers. 

The TIME Edge Racer uses an aluminum bottom bracket shell. 

TIME manufacture this steerer tube cap. 

These stainless steel water bottle cages are made by Arundel in Texas. 

TIME manufacture their own seatposts. 

I use a 3rd eye chain watcher. 

This barrel adjuster allows for minor cable adjustments without needing tools. You twist them by hand. 

I ride an aggressive position. The stem still has room to go lower, but not much. 

I use a 25mm tire. 

The two red nipples to indicate the valve are a nice touch. 

These Vredestein tires are made by hand in Holland. 

I like these Arundel water bottle cages because of how securely they grip water bottles. Having a water bottle eject itself can be a significant safety hazard, especially when you are riding or racing in a group.
