Current Projects chat and miscellany

i love how this forum is obsessed with clearances and gaps. it's really neat. like it's some mystery that can only be figured out by putting the bike together.

It's a well proven fact that every 1.76mm of tyre to fork gap reduces your speed by exactly 2mph for any given power applied. Tyre to downtube is 1.5mph per 2.3mm. So you can see just how important this is to anyone wanting to keep their calorie burn down on their ride home. Saves £££ in pasta over the years.
