Bike porn

yeah, well the beauty of these ones is that they come off and can be changed when required.

I've got a heap of bars for it but am waiting on the right stem to pop up.

Wrong thread sonny

Those wheels look weak as piss too

not as pissweak as some i suppose "Pisstanator"

Cheers for the advice and the lovely comments.

24h radial....front AND rear!?

that's how i got em mate. ask the guy who used to race in em. suited him just fine.

spoked radial on the rear non-drive side. 2 cross on the drive side tied and soldered.

Yes but in a tandem TT, the person at the back can draft the frontman and do less work.

Ha!

and for what do you use the bike? race?

I agree, great photo but the bike isnt porn worthy.

i concur, surely if he went for a smaller frame and a more "pro" set up he could have dropped more weight off too?* more money than sense i reckon

*please feel free to correct me MDCC

Specking of suspect carbon saddle rail/ seatpost combo's, and crabon roadies......

why a compact though?

and for what do you use the bike? race?

no.

but why ruin a perfectly decent wheelset? I'm sorry but I don't get your point.

I don't often post up on these types of forums but I thought this old banger was nice enough for some people to appreciate.

If i chucked Aerospokes on it I'm sure you'd have something to say, If I fitted some deep v's you'd have an opinion on that too. If I fitted wooden rims I'm sure you would have given me your 2 bobs worth as well. If I left it without wheels then I'm sure i'd hear about it on top of everything else.

If I've posted the flix in the wrong section then I'm happy for the mods to move em.

no.

but why ruin a perfectly decent wheelset?

Indeed. You might do so by riding it daily on the road.

am i tripping balls? or is there something strange going on with the spokes?

They're twisted spokes. Offer much more comfort but fking expensive!

it's at least as ugly as sliding dropouts or an eccentric BB and just as susceptible to the kind of creaking which has been adduced as a pitfall of the EBB.

well designed EBB's like the phil wood don't creak. the bushnell ones with their expanding wedges were the ones that creaked.

and as for ugly most sliding dropouts apart from the paragon ones look very agricultural especially on the disk side.

(meanwhile with clipless pedals)

looks like downsizing and oversharpening artifacts on a JPEG to me.

No, they're new on the market from Sapim

my thinking too

and what about the similar 'jaggies'* on the forks and seatpost? notice how the spokes at 45º don't have them because the pixels are aligned at 45º/90º.

*technical term

Well or course not all of the spokes can be twisted, it would affect the wheel structurally.

Again, the fork and seatpost are designed like that to add comfort.

I can't explain the the top of the rear rim though. Must be a new product on the market.
