TaggioPro Pump Head

 

Here it is. I think I mentioned this device on the blog a while ago. The TaggioPro is a pump head designed for reliability, secure seal, and ease of use with both Schrader and Presta valves. I purchased a TaggioPro some time ago from the first production run as part of a Kickstarter campaign. It was originally known as the RapidoPro, but the name had to be changed due to a copyright issue.

So how good is it? The proof will come from months and years of use, but my first impressions are very favorable. So far, it seems to do what it has promised to do. You can read more at their website: www.taggiopro.com

Kelton at Rocky Mountain Cross Regional Championships

Kelton traveled to Longmont Colorado today to compete in the Rocky Mountain Cyclocross Championships. You can read more about the event here: http://303cycling.com/2015-Rocky-Mountain-Cross-Regional-Championships Kelton raced up an age group in an attempt to gain more points for a potential invitation to Cross Nationals as well as a better starting position.  Based on a very solid finish in an older age group which included national champions, there is an excellent chance he could have won his own age.

Brian reports that the Longmont Race was a top quality event, highly competitive and well organized. The rider in the background of this photo is Gage Hecht, one of the world’s top junior cyclocross racers. He finished fourth at the 2015 Junior World Championships. http://velonews.competitor.com/2015/01/news/fourth-good-gold-gage-hecht-2015-cyclocross-worlds_359780
