that ritchey is one of the best bikes I have ever seen.

Nice, but I don't like the ergos or thomsons on classicly styled frames. But mainly the decals - the fade and white blocks with WC strips - don't work imo.

Shame as it's almost perfect. Especially love the stem and the overall paint jobs.

But add a standard BB and you're close to a Dura Ace setup in terms of weight ..

I was all for it until I saw the bullhorns.

I am confident the new owner will sort that out quick-sharp.

how the hell do you measure power at the crank? doesn't it have to be at the hub to have any meaning?

The same forces go into a crank that they do into a hub, except that the force is exerted at the crank.

That^^^ is in fact single-speed, tandem, cyclocross, racing.

A tad niche.

Looks like great fun though.

Having a massive deja vu moment here. Exactly this has been said here before.

With a strain gauge.
Power is the force x velocity produced by the rider. One of the first places in the drivetrain to experience this is the crank. So it makes sense to measure it there.

Similar to brake horsepower and wheel horsepower innit.

Edit:

Pff lame first post for page 999, let me fix that.

2 man awesomeness!!! I suddenly want a tandem...

I just want those wheels.

Tester will know, but I never saw why Roval pushed crazy hubs like that except for bling - if it offered an advantage then surely everybody would be doing it?
(aluminium flange IIRC, so not light, surely (but yadda yadda, non-rotational weight etc))
(also, massive repost)

Mainly on the left, well both really.

I've met Chiappa, just before he set the flying lap record at Cardiff

Their claim is aerodynamic superiority over full length wire spokes.
