After two weaks of break, last Friday a lot of cyclers fought about points and round wins in the Dusika Stadion. Additionally to the third race day of Bahn-o-Rama, there was the Austrian Championship in Team sprint, even that this one was without participation of Chase athletes. So the second part of the competion was even more exciting.

First, you have to pass a knock-out-race to qualify for the A or B race and then you cycle a point race depending on your qualification. Part of this event was Felix Ritzinger with his completely new Chase.cx track rims that passed the endurance test easily without any problems.  He quity obviously cycled with a lower transmission than the other starters, for training purposes. But Felix still reached the fourth position in the knock-out race and in the following point race over 60 rounds he could win this competion clearly.

If you don’t have the right tools,

or if the right tools aren’t good enough,

you have to build your tools by yourself.

The time trial season has not only found it’s highlight but also it’s end in the 47km long circumnavigation of the austrian lake Attersee. The event, which is also know as “King of the Lake”, has become obligatory for every lone-warrior.

The fantastic, late-summery weather led to an unbelievable number of 1150 competitors. The starting intervals between the bikers were about 15 seconds long. However, worries about traffic have proved unjustified.

Felix Schneider, starting number 836,  started with his RAMS CYCLING at 3:44 p.m.

Head down and pedaling as much as possible was the motto after the countdown. For long distances like this, pacing, which means to optimally use one’s strengths, is undoubtedly the key to success. Unfortunately, Felix couldn’t use his resources ideally and therefore he lost some sweep on the last 5km.

However, with his aerodynamic ChaseUP rim out of own production, Felix could finally master the hill.

His finishing time of 1:11:25 slightly moves into the background of the impressive scenery of the Attersee due to his short preparation time and a sneaking flat tire.

Our very first ChaseUP rim has just been finished and exceeds our high expectations in every possible way.

Our innovative manufacturing process with a specifically designed brake surface shows that we are heading into the right direction to distinguish our own rim from other competitors.

Our rim is not only light as a feathers but also solid as a rock. Additionally, she has a very aesthetic, beautiful design and impressing technical braking and driving characteristics.
