The difference between prize earnings in men's and women's cyclocross

5

Over on Cyclephotos, Balínt Hamvas has worked with Dan Seaton to try to work out how much the top women cyclocross stars earn from prizes. Balínt made the women's prize money image on the right-hand side - it's just based on prize money, not start-fees or sponsorship deals, like the men's equivalent was. Click through to the Cyclephotos link for how they came to this figure - the picture above, including the men's prize calculations is by CX Hairs:

What's this hole for?

Anyone know what this hole is for? There is this one and another smaller one to the side. It's on the rims on my bike. Some searching on Google indicated it was holes to release welding gases, but the forum did not seem completely convinced on that answer.

Yes I was a good boy and Santa delivered earlier then usual to me this year.. It was very unexpected (lying) and now I am having a minor problem with this bike and I would like everyone help to solve it... Problem is I can't think of a name for it and I believe someone here can come up with one that fits this bike and why not my personality.. Was thinking that the name that receives the most likes will be the winner... You can like more then one. So lets see what you can come up with..Thanks everyone..
