Johnson, Gould take USGP No. 2

Tim Johnson (Cannondale-Cyclocrossworld.com) slapped high-fives and jubilantly raised his arms skyward as he coasted alone across the finish line to win Sunday’s Derby City Cup No. 2, the second round of the 2008 Crank Brothers U.S. Gran Prix of Cyclocross. The Massachusetts native was all grins and hugs at the awards ceremony following the elite men’s race — and for good reason. Johnson’s victory came just one day after he was a non-factor in Saturday’s race, won in dominating fashion by rival Ryan Trebon (Kona).

Shimano issues wheel advisory

Shimano found that the spoke plugs shipped in lieu of rim strips with its Dura-Ace WH-7850-C24-CL wheels have a greater likelihood of producing a puncture due to the surface texture of the rim and the spoke holes coming in contact with the tube. Therefore, Shimano has issued a voluntary recall of the spoke hole plugs. The wheelset will not be recalled. The fix is to remove the spoke hole plugs and replace them with a 18mm high-pressure rim strip.
