Bike Anti-Porn - When Things Go Wrong

Have you seen the aero tests on bottle cage placement? Turns out that a: you can't guess which is best by intuition and b: behind the saddle is actually quite bad for aerodynamics, as well as being an ergonomic disaster.

An aerodynamic housing which releases the bottle from the rear would most likely be the most aerodynamic way to keep a bottle. Of course you could just start attaching fairing to your bike.

Do you get yummy brake pad juice over the bottles though?

unless the brake pad juice is gonna run off the pads and jump around to the outside of the fork legs, no. :)

Ha...i love how everyone is getting so hung up on the aerodynamics of my bottle placement on a bike which is clearly intended for just plodding along and churning out the miles at a more sedate pace. :)

oh lord

What appear to be a nice looking track (I think) frame end up getting the hipster treatment and looking like every other fucker on the street;

Like that BRG though.

Ha! From one geek to another!

this lightweight geek stuff sucks immediately and then always those ugly CK head set .Barf to snooze my friend nothin more. It is just the other dead end of hippstaness

i really like that Easton fork

EC90's are great forks, I had one and I can tell you they are as light as a feather

ugly CK head set

You obviously haven't ridden a bike for long enough.

they are ugly.

there's a difference between looks and function

It's a circular ring of metal. How can it possibly be any more ugly than any other headset?

Except for all of those people who use it to save precious fractions of a second in professional races. Your post stinks of shallow dilettantism.

well, its just too curvy and bulky really.

it really isn't exactly a looker when it comes to comparing with other headsets and looks horrible with vintage/skinny tubing. But fair enough, they look great on carbon/ti where they belong amongst the thick fork blades and bulging curves.

But as far as headsets are concerned; I've seen better.

it's like one of those TT's you either love or hate it's looks. Too many stupid curves in my opinion

but unlike the car the headset doesn't rely on it's looks. It's there because its good, damn good and reliable.
it's like buying phil hubs just for the looks

Dead end antiporn at it's best:

what you talkin about willis?

Dead end antiporn at it's best:

kiddin? this is gadget porn. It's either none (like a track bike), or as many wires as possible if you do use them. I'd just spend time thinking of useless gadgets to stick on that thing. Maybe toad radars to beep when one jumps on to the road, a rain sensor, pothole spotters, rear view lcd screen and a solar generator to power all of it.

sick sick sick, no anti man

might aswell get a motorbike

Name a better looking non-integrated headset, than a king and i'll give you 5 points
