Bike porn

oh and that kenevens is lovely.. i used to love seeing a few of them scattered about melbourne

i can't believe how long those drop-outs are. is there any possible reason for that?

Lengthening the wheelbase for hill climbs?

Lovely rides on for everyone...And I would like to extend a hello from across the pond...

glow in the dark

i don't care what anyone else says, this is PURE PORN!

agreed! love it!!

Correct way

surely the blade should 'cut' the air so the blade should go down first and not the flat part on the other side?-thats a genuine question not me being a mug

I want a glow in the dark bike, how cool would that be!!?

:p

I can see that! but why would the lady have it the other way?

glow in the dark craft paint is NOT durable, it goes very rubbery and peels off. you'd need some kind of specific paint.

The leading edge is blunt as a compromise between induced drag caused by pushing the air aside and skin drag from the air friction over the surface. Faster bodies use a more pointy leading edge, with more surface area for a given cross section giving higher skin drag but lower induced drag. The sharp edge is the trailing edge, to bring the two air flows together with minimum turbulence. Fining the trailing edge involves a similar compromise between skin drag and induced drag. As a further complication, bicycle components are restricted by UCI regulations to a maximum aspect ratio of 3.0:1. Typically, the thickest section occurs about 1/3 distance from front to back, making the tail about twice as fine as the nose.

I can see that! but why would the lady have it the other way?

Stupidity, failing to read the instruction or the arrows printed on the wheel :-) It's not unheard of among professionals, notably Ulrich riding a TT with a Xentis 4-spoke in the wrong way around

sorry buddy, was being funny, i thought the same

I'm not falling for that. Better to think about fuselage shapes, without complicating matters by having to consider asymmetry and lift.

And Hoy for his Kilo record attempt.

No, look at the other Corima pic I put up too. Aerodynamics, like a planes wing....

Yes

or the arrows printed on the wheel

She hasn't got the 'arrows/direction' sticker on the hub. Dozy mare

probably the mechanics fault. she doesn't need to know

they are still working on that section !!
