upsidedown's TT bike

Viewspeed skewer

Wait! Wut?

Had to look that up.

[burns everything]

Wait! Wut?

Countersunk screws and washers are better if you can tap your axle, that Viewspeed thing is a bail-out option for axles which wouldn't work as a bolt-on conversion.

In other unrelated news, I'm probably going to make some special coutersunk washers which will be even lower profile than the OTP Pro-Bolt ones

Phew! I thought I was missing out.

special coutersunk washers

I'm listening!

After many years of riding track bikes, I finally took this one indoors>

Why did you change the bars, were you not aerotesting?

Nah, was just a normal track session. Really must get round to doing an AeroCoach session.

That'll be why I couldn't spot your bike in Xav's tweet

It's in there, there's only one Cervelol. It was a team track day, but no aero testing.

My observational skills are the awesomes - I've never clocked the lol!

20c Record on the Flo

Never liked the slvlss lip on the Adamo, so got the hacksaw out... still a bit more to trim off, as my 55p one of these won't fit yet cos of how much setback I run. However it means I can tuck the Comet right under the saddle.

Oh, and this is absolutely a functional addition to stop water from getting into the Flo and is in no way a fairing.

Have you completely trimmed the bracket's release tang?
Tried to fit my rear light (identical to Moon Comet) to my Adamo Attack in the same way, so trimmed the release tang to keep the light shining horizontally backward, but it would never stay like that while riding (tight clearances & saddle flex pushed the light down/away from the horizontal) so reverted to the previous vertical/under rail position. Didn't want to completely remove the release tang because I remove the light from the bracket for charging.
If you can get the light to stay put I'd love to know how (although looks like there might be more space, i.e., saddle rail to shell, under your Adamo TT than there is under my Attack).

Don't worry, cheating is ok, according the TTforum.
As long as it's not beta-aliene. That's doping.

Nope, still fully intact. Just loosen off the screw to pivot the mount down to release.

I'm not sure about caffeine.
You're probably allowed to drink coffee, but taking a caffeine pill is doping.

I'll look it up.

It's ok, Im just sticking with the party gels. Gels are ok.

You think gels are ok, but they're actually artificial and therefore doping- better turn yourself in to UKAD.

Don't worry, I reported him anonymously already.

Your cover is blown

Time for a swift exit.

I'm pretty sure using one of those in a TT is against the spirit of the competition, but Luke will probably think it's fine because they are not specifically banned.

I sense popcorn over on TTF...

Is it worth reading, or is it just another load of hot air?

Nah you live is worth more than the drivel on TTforum
It's mostly the fucking sespit of the internet.

I don;t know why tester bothers to discuss with them, they're deluded.

I just prod the fire every now and again.
