From the mouth of Dave Widing, the official timer of the CLIX wheel release system’s “Fastest Wheel Swap” $500 giveaway contest.

The contest took place over the first two days of Interbike 2008 and was incredibly competitive over 100 people were officially timed plus a number of others who forgot to stick around to give their contact info. The latter apparently took place more frequently after the beer was flowing. When the dust settled mechanical wiz and industry legend Edward Klomp from Chicago Drive Cyclery and Fitness posted a cool 4.57 seconds beating out second place by .69 seconds. Overall, about 30 people posted times under 10 seconds. Second place was overheard citing distraction by the two CLIX girls as a possible reason for his slight error although no formal complaint is expected to be filed.

Ed can be seen here in all his winning glory.
