  • Mine certainly are, currently sporting fluorescent yellow gaffer tape.

    Why not black?

  • Because I happened to have the yellow tape in the van when I discovered that I couldn't find the proper black stickers.

  • she's clean

  • Meh, makes sense I guess.

  • Maybe if it got given the gears it was made for.

  • Re folding bike, beauty in the eye of the beholder who knows, but it still shits on half the shite posted in this thread. I think it's porn as an idea, porn that someone here has developed it and porn because I would love one.

    Re the zolli, yes posted a year or 2 ago in hhsb

    TM you bring a tear to my eye, thanks !

  • Loverly Duell. What is story with wheelset?

  • I reckon this is perfectly acceptable. The area with the holes is only ever really in tension (and torsion from steering). I'd take issue if the holes were all the way down to the fork crown.

    this statement means nothing until tester either verifies it or shits all over it.

  • That sentence on the wheel needs a period for paedo protection.

    Is there much difference between all the different brands of overshoes in watts?

  • this statement means nothing until tester either verifies it or shits all over it.

    No part of the steerer ever experiences any mechanical loading other than tension or compression. Of course, no part of anything ever experiences anything other than tension or compression, so on its own that's a pretty meaningless statement. If a 1" steerer wasn't marginal for stiffness as a bicycle steerer, nobody would ever have invented oversized steerers, so I can't see how removing material without first increasing the diameter is an improvement.

    Torsion? (Don't google it) :o)

    That's probably one for Xav. I think the cool kids are using Pro Aerofoil, which are polyurethane coated and therefore both shiny and more or less air tight, but they aren't as stretchy as my Nylon/Lycra® Mavic® ones, so they are a PITA to put on.

  • Torsion? (Don't google it) :o)

    Torsional loads on components end up as a mix of tensions and compressions of the constituent material.

    I've stopped using overshoes as Pro Aerofoils significantly increase the frontal area of my S-Works shows.

  • Significantly? How thick are they? If they smooth the shape and surface of your shoes, even quite a big increase in area might still yield a net reduction in CdA

  • FWIW, I've been wearing Lake CX170s for my last two races, not as comfy for long rides as the Zxelliums, but super slick with no protruding buckles or dials.
