    Tip for track riders using clamping wheel chocks: air up

    At the end of the day air up your front tire before rolling into your clamping wheel chock (I have Condor chocks). I use 38-40psi. Makes it easier to yank the bike back out vs. a tire w/ 25 psi.

    Putting the bike into chock & strapping down is also the last thing I do before driving away. Lets the tire cool as much as possible so it doesn't stick as bad.

    I mentioned this to a couple folks the other day and they liked the idea. So here's the PSA. Carry on...

    I always rock my bike side to side before rolling it out of my condors, whether or not they're hot from the track. It breaks the stiction.
