Pearosting like a baws

Brandle does it! Fuck yeah

51.852km

742m more than Jensie

whats with all the dura-ace road crank usage and what does this say about that dura-ace track crank? even daniel holloway uses it on his six day bike

Cheers Xav, Interesting difference in pacing!

what does this say about that dura-ace track crank?

That it was bang up to date 20 years ago.

isn't it 1/8'' chain on 3/32'' ring ? Or is it some sort of custom made pro-only limited edition 1/8'' chainring ?

Most likely a full 3/32 setup. Easier on the legs

full 3/32" setup. Easier on the legs

Lol wut?

Meh. What I've always been told by endurance people at the track - 3/32 more supple, easier on the legs, no weaker etc etc. I still run tractor chains though.

Just seen its a super toughness. Do they even make that in 3/32?

Placebo is a powerful thing

How can you yell? Other chains are available in the colorway™

i thought on the best way of pisstake, but due to lack of imagination and creativeness failed to do so, so i'm just gonna mention this fact. maybe someone with better sense of humour than mine will success better than i did.

no but seriously, is there any dura ace bolt pattern chainrings with 1/8'' pitch, considering having it on a tarck biek against sg75 or nomnoms

Compared to track disciplines like the sprint - the peak wattage of TheHour is somewhere 1/5 - and acceleration wise 1/50. You could run The Hour with your grandmas silver necklace as chain.

Wonder how many will squeeze in an attempt before he smashes it?

Good time line of past attempts here http://www.cyclingweekly.co.uk/hour-record-timeline-recent-history. Didn't know the first ever record was set on a penny farthing in 1876... over 26km!
