Bike porn

OKokok, srry for not using the xplicit right words. Let me rephrase then. With the front brake remaining absent on the bikes with which the discussed wheel is used I (thats me), cannot see (contrary to the specification by the manufacturer) a problem in the radial spoke pattern used on the hub.

I personally dont live by rules drawn up by other people so I say lets praise the guy for his daunting guts to ride a wheel like that. Taking the risk of breaking stuff the proof is still in the pudding. And I too think tooo many spokes there

Too much talk.

Not living by the rules is one thing, risking a big dentist bill when that hub flange goes crack is another.

That's OK, these are rules of physics, chemistry, metallurgy and the constraints of the materials.

You don't have to listen to other people, the materials will (in time) give you their own education the hard way.

That's what everyone is trying to tell you. You will learn this if you don't listen. And... it will hurt.

One of the first few links on those hubs:
http://www.bicycling.com/bikes-gear/bikes-and-gear-features/campagnolo-record-pista-hubs-sheriffs-star-design

a lighter, five-arm design that was unfortunately prone to catastrophic failure

And then you put a radial spoke pattern on it, with higher tension aero spokes, and think you're going to be fine.

I suggest a dual sweep-stake. One to guess when it will happen, and the other to guess which medical service or services Mr No Fork will be using after it happens.

Ow i thought that was already clear, the point being?

just noticed how the spokes are attached in the hub... Id have some psychological fears over that. Never seen it in real but some googling tells me its alright...

looks nice

Oh, and when it goes bang, Campagnolo's response is: "It's a track component not designed or intended for street use, and must only be used in the way described (no radial spoke pattern).". They will then laugh at you.

Still... too much talk, more bike porn.

Where's that "Can't tell if troll, or just stupid" meme when you need it?

Look, we've told you, you're not listening. It's cool, we don't care enough if you don't want to listen. We'll not laugh when your face is smashed up, nor will we say we told you so, we'll just wonder why you didn't want to avoid it.

In the meantime, bike porn...

Sadly I can't go to the show but courtesy of Velocio we have this

For some reason I can't quite put my finger on, that's reminding me of Kate Beaton's Strong Female Characters...

The thin line (or edge if you prefer) between troll and stupid is an attractive line that i feel drawn to... something to do with ADHD i guess. all in the quest for knowlledge. Gave me some hairy moments but all the teeth are still there, but thanks for the advice, the pic of the broken hub quite convincing there I will go and find some porn then.

No.

Needs 27" wheels and decent bars.

The biggest problem is too much saturation, a little lighter and it would be gorgeous™

Glad we're on to shades of blue :-) Choice of blue in RAL is so small I went for 5012 on my own but it sometimes hurts my eyes. (no i wont be tempted to post my own bike, my quota...)

Sun is out, Im out.
