Technik und Ausrüstung
Karsten went with a custom built 2010s Trek Top Fuel 9.8. Caveat: The best bike I've ever driven!
Frame
Trek Top Fuel OCLV Red Carbon (size L),
Headset: Cane Creek IS- 3,
Seatpost Bontrager Race XXX Lite,
Fork: Fox F32 RL Fit,
shock: Fox Float RP 23
Super easy and super quick, drive-neutral, but very sensitive, rear sag is not together when he assumes - in short, the perfect race-fully! In my opinion the best marathon race-fully on the market. So easily and with this perfect rear-performance builds currently no competitors.
thanks to Fox: After my problems with the lockout began the race support during the Transalp the noble Fit cartridge. After that, everything went perfectly.
on the Transalp see very many riders on hardtails. I would in any case more Fully To drive as the sometimes very rough downhills are so much less to cope with stress. So a clear gain in safety and comfort!
suggestions: no
wheels
Hubs: DT-Swiss 240s,
Rims: DT XR 4.2d,
Spokes DT Competition (with aluminum nipples),
Tires: Schwalbe Rocket Ron 2.25,
hoses: Bontrager X-light
The wheelset is not much to say: A proven classic in perfect function, I drive it for three years without re-centering and without any complaint. The tires run as they would lead to an engine: Geil! But: There are pure racing tires with little puncture protection, they need to rough turf to stone a knowledgeable source. The wear is high, they hold only about 1000km. There are on the Transalp also in dry weather always situations where you need grip. So I would go only tires with shoulder lugs, no semi-slicks. However, was represented on the Transalp anything, it depends very much on the preferences of the driver. At the first stage, I had the worst possible time when the first exit after the neutralization, a plate (punctures). Otherwise, the tires were perfect.
Suggestions for improvement: Cautious drivers or drivers who are uncertain in the downhill, should select a tire with more puncture protection. I drive on the next Transalp certainly a NoTubes wheelset (tubeless).
drive
Crankset: Aerozine X12-SL-Ti
BB: Trek BB90
Pedals: Time Atac XS Carbon
Derailleur: Sram XO (2005)
Derailleur: Shimano XTR
Shifters: Sram XO trigger
pinion: SRAM PG 990 11 - 32
Chain: Sram PC 991
The drive is successful and went well: switching behavior, Accuracy: Topp. The only drawback: The crank scratched fairly quickly, but the function does not diminish.
suggestions: no
cockpit
Stem: Syntace F99 with titanium screws
Handlebar: Schmolke Carbon 600mm
bar ends: Contec SMICA Ultralight
Perfect!
suggestions: no
Brakes Magura Marta SL
(from the year 2007, 180 / 160er Slices)
My favorite brake, light was fading were sometimes unable to avoid a horde of bikers in runs with several meters, but no migratory pressure point. Super function defined biting.
suggestions: no
Selle Italia Signo saddle
The question is always extremely fit individual, the Signo is one of the few saddles that I can manage.
suggestions: no
Accessories
Bike Computer Sigma Rox 9.0
actually reliable, leaving him the spirits of the hail-storm departure for Madonna dC After consultation with Sigma I send him and hope very much that she read me the saved 7 stages can! Otherwise, good function, very informative and user-friendly, very good Auswertugssoftware.
suggestions: better protection from moisture
Bottle Holder Bontrager X-lite carbon
Despite its only 26 grams, it clamps the bottle well and safe - we owned any of the estimated 300 bottles, which we at critical Rüttelstellen on are the ground saw ...
suggestions: no
SKS Airgun CO2 Cartridge
Small, light, fast: functional super pumped up in a few seconds. Tip: take 2 tires for fillings 3 cartridges! Very careful driver to also take a mini-pump.
suggestions: no
saddle bag Vaude Race Light M
do their job, have it for safety with a pedal strap (all under 30: What is the ... secured ;-), because I use the velcro the Rüttelabfahrten had not thought possible. What was in it: hose, self-adhesive patches from Park Tool (hold until the end of the stage), with four links of chain, shift cable, 2 chain locks
suggestions: no
mini tool Bontrager Rollbar 18
Very good, very lightweight tool with everything you need. Clever: A chain lock can be in a microbox stowed in the tool.
suggestions: no
Mini-drinking Deuter Race Light
Whether you go with or without a backpack, is a question of faith. In our view, one should always have the following: arm warmers, rain jacket, wind vest, cell phone, money, bandages. In really bad weather must be added knee warmers and ¾ rain pants. This is not to act without a backpack. You have to make clear that the Transalp is 600 km long, of which several kilometers above 2000 meters. There, the clocks tick differently. We have spent almost every single piece of equipment and also used, including the first-aid kit, as we helped a fallen rider in the final descent to Scuol. Since I have in a reasonable position just a bottle on the bike, I needed the bladder.
suggestions: no

Where Did George Crum Go To School
Nachlese
pickings
The Transalp 2010 is done - it was a terrific and unforgettable experience! There will be countless dull winter evenings , Indicate where we go in the head movie because of the memories ... The Transalp shall not apply to the eight chapters, or 12 days of arrival and departure, but dominated the last half year. We are both clamped on the job, have (large) children and wives, and thus the latter remains the case, you must go to pay for all professional and personal commitments, many compromises. We cut our time as a driver in the ribs, ultimately it all goes well only when the partners endorse it. At this point, again the warmest thanks to Esther and Christine, without you it would not go! Now you have some good in us ...!
Training
We both operate for many Years of endurance sports and, as a preparation to different places trained 4-6 times per week. The training we designed differently, but had both before the Transalp 4000 - 5000 km cycling in the legs plus several-kilometer cross-country skiing and winter. In Karsten comes, even if one does not see it in the photos ;-), add strength training.
goals
The goal was to put relatively simple: get through with fun. Henning had its successful participation in 2008 Safety, Karsten was lacking this experience, he was not sure: Is the time for regeneration? If the bursa quiet? We have sought a place in midfield, which we indeed succeeded. However, we have relatively long Breaks made at the aid stations. The hot jets mode, we might have achieved more ... Ultimately, it has proven to be serious but not grim in the whole thing to approach. Thus, time was left to enjoy and to talk with the other drivers on the road: Great experience!
The Team: The two drivers
Since we are brothers, the situation was especially for us. It was clear that we have different strengths: while Henning is particularly strong in the plane, Karstens domain clearly the mountain. Because we knew that there was no problem to adjust to each other. The bottom line is that we are surprised that it harmonizes so well has! Simplifies the whole thing that we both go down well. Is simply enormous fun to work together to rock the slopes!
The team: The rider with the ground crew in the RV Traveling in a caravan
has proven itself, but also for the escort team in the camper a stressful thing! Anyway, if you have booked all-inclusive package. Christine cooked perfect for us - we were certainly the Transalp team with the best food! The accompaniment in the RV is more complex than we thought: The day was timed very closely. Overall, everything went very well again at this point all the best thanks to Christine and Achim, you're the best!
bike technology
We were amazed at the expensive material is moved to the Transalp: Wheels for the 4000-5000 were € average, there were a number of pimped bikes that of the 8,000 - 10,000 euros made close! Here, the nice thing about our sport that the legs are the decisive ... on the floor of the facts brings one a look at the bikes of the pros: They are indeed good stuff, driven mainly hardtails, but wheels were off the shelf. Not only in the pace of mountain biking is different from Formula 1! Generally speaking, the technique is considered by many drivers. The Transalp challenge successfully, it is already having a mid-range hardtail, everything is a nice extra.
The salt in the soup:
riders from 42 nations. It was enormous fun to exchange ideas with like-minded lunatics on the CBT. We always found drivers at the appropriate wavelength, be it the Marin-racer Sandra and Klaus (Do so, Sandra: Mountain biking is not a girls sport!) The Orthodocs (We'll have to spare, fortunately with orthopedic questions!) Or the guys from the BDO (Bicycle Department East), which besides the road in the world in her derailleur disassembled down to the last little screw. Added to the myriad short talks come on the road with other drivers from around the world - from the atmosphere survived the Transalp! is
After Transalp prior to the Transalp??
Well, we do not know yet. The next year is in the stars, perhaps Henning moves in two years with his youngest son ... The Trans-Rockies also sound very tempting ... In any case: Life without Transalp is hardly imaginable ...!!!

How Many Units Are In A Bottle Of Cactus Jacks
8. Etappe Madonna di Campiglio - Riva del Garda, 75 km Höhenmeter
After more than a week duration of the race we had routine - we thought. The mood at the start today was different: something melancholy, relieved, relieved because the weather was good, but some also serious and focused, because this ultimate opportunity to improve wanted to use overall.
boomed order one last time 8:59:30 Highway to Hell from the speakers. 30 seconds later, the stage began with a novelty: 10 km neutralized departure. Over 1000 bikers crowded along narrow dirt roads into the valley. At the bottom of the climb to Passo di Bregn began as l 'Ors, which should lead us on the Brenta. We felt well-traveled, the increase at the pace and left from the first board. On the last meters, we enjoyed a fantastic view of the snow-capped peaks of the Presanella (To Harry: Do not complain if our map Solte have made a mistake ...;)
After Karsten of the increase the parameters of time, it was kept on the flatter after departure then Hennings task, the pace high. Meter by meter, the aim of the closer Transalp! Eventually we pushed the last few meters high and makes the last energy gel into us. Shortly after, we were rewarded with a panoramic view of Lake Garda. Time to enjoy was not, however, the subsequent downhill was the worst day of the test and called our attention. Many have pushed their bikes there. Who went anyway, was either a technician or excellent place upside down new paths in the valley ...
reached the bottom, it said only "track right" and at full steam towards Goal. Fortunately, Hennings legs still had enough power and heart rate monitor Karstens no batteries ... Our reward was to place 69 days our best result!
Unfortunately, this memorable event of our ground crew will not be recorded photographically, as they had not reckoned with the early finish and so was held in the target at the Coop at the box office ...
Conclusion:
Neither Highway to Hell or Road to Nowhere. Without a fall and major technical problems we have come on hard 600 km and 20,000 meters over the Alps. We have divided our forces well and the chemistry on the team also agreed. At this point again huge thank you to the ground crew and Christine Achim. You have mastered difficulties that we can only guess!

Tranny Glory Hole Sarasota
1770 7. Etappe Malé - Madonna di Campiglio, 48 km Höhenmeter
After a warm farewell to the Employee of the pizza vending machine factory, we made ourselves in the bright sunshine on the road. The situation at the start has changed compared to the first stage complete: Nervous hot shots are not visible for miles, but for a lot of lactate bodies at the edge of the start block. Some drivers look to staring into space, others pick, leaning his head against a wall, for valuable sleep. For us, the usual gallows humor was not as fast from the lips, but we felt like we were put under a steamroller - deeply relaxes tired muscles and the odd no end ...
We expected a short stage, which, however, had an anxiety-making height profile. Fortunately, our respect was larger than the slope percentages, so we were up again at some point. Nungut, so the way was not easy, as about 500 vertical meters below the summit began rain that was garnished at the top station of the lift (no, we can not use ...) by hail. Fortunately we had the rain gear and have it on the summit can do something for international understanding, because we could borrow a trembling Swiss a wind jacket.
The weather in the target did not fit to start - the pictures speak for themselves. But we have survived and were happy about the hot shower and the heater in the camper. Tomorrow we will forward to the last Stage - a madness, as you get used to the load. We do occur, as we had never done anything other than cycling, and as we would never do anything else - addicted to ride ...

How To Save On Gb4iphone
2321 6. Etappe Ponte di Legno - Malé, 73 km Höhenmeter
Fortunately, the morning after ... Henning after laboriously regained consciousness, and both drivers were fit again. Shortly after takeoff, it went through a beautiful high mountain on the highest point of the day. Then a seemingly endless trail of entlangzog as a mule with an easy up and down to about 2000 meters. We had a great view of the valley, which lay in the Märklin Scale among us. Indescribable, for mountain bikes were invented! The runs were correspondingly rough and had it in themselves. Finally, it is supposed to be the hardest mountain bike race in the world and remain, the track selection is similar. Material and dental fillings were s, the end of the stage went through the valley of Meledrio. Here again, the hour Hennings, the steam engine, the wind shadow of Karsten donated for the power play. We were rewarded with space 91, the top 100 overall are within reach!
Today, the ground crew was not able signposted as many signs as the bikers, the RV sites were not so in the narrow streets again met campers who saw themselves with a questioning expression. It is a mystery, in which the value is paid for by us € 100 if we are to ordinary mobile home parks or campgrounds pay again. Both, however, was not possible today, and after a long search found Christine and Achim a place on the site of a pizza factory machines - we are finally in Italy! The staff showed great sportsmanship: Power supply was down of course a power cord and could shower and warm in the factory.
now in the evening everything is good, but slowly the fear creeps before tomorrow's start of a stage - it's just a steep dam with lift ...

My Ginger Kitten Has A Saggy Belly?
2363 5. Etappe Livigno - Ponte di Legno, 107 km 3461 Höhenmeter
This entry comes a day later. We had no internet. And we were completely ko And we had to eat and bikes clean and wash and wash schlaaaaaafen.
The highlight was us and the ground crew shooter. And to Christine's birthday! While our team accompanying the motorhome over narrow mountain roads to the milestone controlled, began the day by us with an ascent of the Passo Trela wonderful trails and on through stunning mountain scenery. After 50 km we took our first from the high mountain peaks, in order to drive in a 20 km long low-level flight after Grosotto - a huge reward for the slog in the first half stage!
But the thing was a catch: The course planners had made us a monster mountain with 1600 meters of altitude to play in his way. It was necessary to overcome the Mortirolo, which is feared to the Giro d'Italia. We learn we had to take the cyclists the easy option! We drove a short cut to the top so that we do not overcome 10%, but 15% slope had. Onset of rain and cold any movement difficult. Once at the top at the pass, we went not down, but coming right out of the woods yet. The last departure began difficult. On steep, slippery floor, we had some running, some driving to find a way. Eventually we found in the flow of the trail and could enjoy the road.
At last came the final ascent to Henning finally the man with the hammer. 300 meters to the finish and stomach and legs no longer wanted. An endless time, meter by meter, he had to fight to the finish. Despite the drudgery of the 91st Place in the daily standings. How much to wait until these other teams have suffered!

How Do I Gift Landto A Family Member In Tennessee
3. Etappe Ischgl - School, 75 km, 2504 Höhenmeter
The third day was hard, but offered us a view from the roof gandiosen the Transalp, the Idjoch with 2737 meters height. Unfortunately we were unable to use the cable car, but had to connect everything - the last kilometer with 20% slope we have, as almost all the drivers pushed around us. During the drudgery we practiced ourselves in the fine art of Zen Budhismus. In our mind, we asked ourselves more questions: Why am I doing this? Am I here it? Who am I? Am I? The water leaves the consciousness of the body ...
top between the snowfields a quick photo and then we have thrown in the descent. Very nice, but unfortunately much faster than the increase over ... The aid station has saved our lives, where we could store our refill. Eating with (as a verb) has however not much to do, we shoveled every second quarter of Orange into us, plus bananas, apples, melons, cakes and trail mix, and the inevitable energy bars and sports drinks. The dosage is very simple: it fills in record time so much to himself until it is just before gagging. Then a cup of water and into the next rise.
The descent offered driving pleasure on steep, rooted trails. How can we take that? To quote a well-known cyclo-cross racers: "You have to just share the link!" Have we made. The end of the stage was slightly uphill 25 km to the Inn. Sounds relaxing, But because it went so well, it degenerated into a team time trial: Tempo 40 was not uncommon, but brought us to the edge of our capabilities. But as evidenced by the photos, we were in top shape for the finish line again!

Denture Recall Letters
2. Etappe: Imst - Ischgl 77 km, 3184 Höhenmeter
some point is always the first time: a sprint finish hand in hand had not been taken from us!
But first things first: The question of whether the Alps are mountains or not, was quickly answered. After recently they started rolling in and wanted to not intended end. The brutalstmöglichen increases were bad, every corner we asked ourselves, as in a picture by MC Escher if we were just not right here was just ...
The Transalp is a living Physics: Up to 10% slope can is all up to 15% on one side and talks very creative in short sentences and also heard only heavy breathing .
But this stage was not just drudgery, we always have, with great views, and truly epic descents rewarded beautiful singletrack. After our final sprint we had achieved its stated goal: We are in the top 100 on position 99!
was the way the defect witch was now present - at least not with us!

Can Iclaim Dla For Osteoarthritis
1. Etappe: Füssen - Imst, 79km, 1939 Höhenmeter
New team, May we introduce: Defect witch! A extremely superfluous person that always comes when you least need. It all started very relaxed today with the good news that we may start in A starting block. Very nice, that brings peace and a good starting position! We thought. Henning noticed a loose seat post in the morning, shortly before the start quickly Specialized booth, new support, peace was. The first kilometer in the direction of Neuschwanstein were driven at 40 km / h, behind the palace, after neutralization, the race was open. Austria was quickly reached, but no luck brought us: the first exit Karsten had a puncture. Sounds no longer bad, but you have now trained 1200 by Mountain Biker Presenting are hot on the race for which they have trained many months. In the bustle of the malaise of Karsten Henning has not noticed and was that way. During the tube change then roared past a few hundred drivers nungut ..., after much cursing, we had 35 km later. The rest is reported quickly, much eating and drinking, then uphill and downhill cycling, and then we were already there.
Let's see what tomorrow brings, very difficult stage. Today we have lost our luck a bit of time. And this much is clear: the defect witch flies out of the team and remains in Imst, or where the pepper grows. Sure.

Formal Dress Shop In Belfast
had yesterday had us on the highway congestion under control, now we then find nice weather for a quiet day - check wheels, pick up race numbers and souvenirs, and roll loose 30 km. Here we will visit King Ludwig Neuschwanstein, there was also congestion really many tourists. We are the beginning stages of tomorrow's left to us the bottlenecks and bad turns to look at. I hope to keep back the hot shots, so it is not too busy ... We are lucky to come, because Hennings UCI license, at the start far forward. Everything is ready, a nervous tension can not be denied ...

Genital Warts Slogans
Ab jetzt führt kein Weg zurück.
The team
We can say with complete justification, that we are the team to the Craft Bike Transalp 2010, which knows the longest time, for the past 45 years. Or someone more to offer ?
Christine is responsible for ensuring that during the Transalp in the background things are going, especially in relation to food: Supply, balanced and delicious - so our women for the fine. But if it is not going so well, it is also good for rough surfaces. As Karstens wife, it points out that in the next 12 days not driving around on vacation, but all Hands have their hands full. Presumably she longs quite soon returned to their home office ...
The idea
About the idea is reported quickly, Henning has gone two years ago the bike Transalp, was completely exhausted, but thrilled and completely. What happens then well when two bike junkies talk about such a challenge? Karsten has jostle for a joint participation, and after the family council was persuaded began in the winter, the concrete preparation phase.
Supporters
Two cities, two bike shops:
Henning is supported Timothy Schmidt of Buhl-Bikes in Oldenburg. He enters the Transalp on the proven Specialized Epic.
Karsten is provided by Jürgen Miller from Bike Facts! in Kassel. His bike is a 2010 Trek Top Fuel 9.8 it.
Thank you both bike shops for their advice, spare parts and manpower in advance! We hope that we do not need the battered parts.

Henning lives in the flat north German Oldenburg and therefore can only do so as if he trains mountains, here's a picture in front of his photo wallpaper in the living room. However, he has a strong opponent in his home (and coach): The wind always comes from the front ...!
Karsten can not afford a photo mural, it has so slyly to the German low mountain range in Kassel. There, he sometimes longs for the old country to have to take the Basic Training is not always in the same river valley ...
Fresh off the press: the new Transalp jerseys.
Achim is the pilot of the RV and Lord of the navigation device, that is our man for the rough. Class 2 driver's license and years of carriage driving are the ideal conditions for logistical madness Transalp.
