A 63-page UCI document titled, “Check of the equipment and position in competition,” details the changes for 2012, which also includes regulations requiring hydration packs to be worn on the back (rather than the front) beginning April 1, banning shoe covers in track racing as of October 1, and requiring socks to be shorter than the mid-point between the ankle and the knee, effective immediately.

Just wondering if the pro's used bikes sold by Kinetix, etc. would have the "lawyer tabs" filed off? Could be a serious issue in the event of a crash causing personal injury.

Proper order. The amount of times you see the pros just cycling along minding their own business in a race and next think you know their front wheel just pops out of the frame and runs off down the road all on its' own :rolleyes:

If they made this retrospective, it would be the ideal way to ban Armstrong.
He would have no possible defence.

under the current rules they were all ready banned, the rule just wasnt enforced. theres no rain indoors so no need for shoe covers, they offer an aero advantage which isnt allowed unless a part performs in other ways rather than purely for aero

the saddle angle is a terrible rule, caused alot of trouble at the recent london track world cup
