Current Projects chat and miscellany

I recon this would look good on ^ that:

You'd need a Di2 seatpost too to adjust saddle height with the cleat position. :)

already exists

Where can i buy this? I quickly Googled with no luck.

before and after. the same really, but a little more refined. much needed love after years of abuse.
got some new deep wheels in the post that should be on it by the end of the week, and I'm going to try and sand the logos off the pedals. maybe.

and then we're right back where we started, only this time everything works.
will probably desticker the wheels when I get an evening off.
apologies for shittest iphone photo ever. now onwards to pub.

Looks far better with the computer level with the stem front clamp, rather than on top of it. More aero too probably.

It's made by Cinelli so it's widely available - e.g. Wiggle.

Tokyo Fixed sell them too, I got them as well, but waiting to sort out the bar first before putting it on.

If you've not previously done so it might be worth experimenting with your cleats further behind the ball of the foot.

For me I found it encouraged dipping of the heals, sitting further back in the saddle and eventually what feels like a much smoother, stronger pedal stroke.

You might need to saddle a couple of mm if you do this.

Have you just moved them back to the limit of the original mounting bolt holes?
I've read some inter-net chatter of people mounting their cleats in a new position (new bolt holes) under the arch of the foot.
Best thing since sliced bread - or not depending on what you read.

I've just moved my Look cleats all the way back- mostly to experiment with relieving numb feet. Too early to say yet, I only got to ride 50 miles on Sunday -but no real numbness.

Cyclo cross shoes often have thread inserts in the heels for studs - you could take this argument to the limit and put the cleat there...

what you on about? computer is not clipped in at all?

Could you put it on with no bars?

Does your bike's shadow have a saddle bag?

Just finished this, unsure how I feel about it. I like it, but it seems predictable. And since my other bikes are orange and bumblebee yellow, the silver is a bit sedate. Anyway, rides nicely for the little bit I got out on it before the heavens opened the past few days. Thanks to Benjybars for the frame, wblenkin for the cranks, the rest taken from another bike in the stable.

I like it and those frames are very nice... I would go for different brake set up but hey...

Yes that is one thing I am likely to change, but to what I am not sure yet. These are the bars, lever, etc from my last build. I had to get the clamp-on brake since the fork isn't drilled. So am deliberating to drill the fork or not. This is likely an interim solution.

I think that's a Garmin not an SRM. But as pointed out it's not clipped on in the 3rd pic.

Ok, maybe when it does go back on it should go so it's not visible side-on?

Just sayin...

I don't think there's an inline mount for Edge x05 models, so he needs a new computer. There is a custom mount for the 200/500/800 which places it in line with the stem face plate

Not even the limit. Just further back than they were.

Can I ask where you found the clamp-on brake mount for round forks?

If you routed the cable under the tape I think it's look a lot tidier and gooderer

^^ Got them from the Brother cycles web site. tbh I don't currently think it's a great solution since it's a bit of a faff to install them. I debated for some time this dia-compe caliper vs the version that Hubjub is offering. After fitting the dia-compes, I think the alternative version might be better (but don't have first-hand experience of the competing version). From the pictures the cobra <?> version via hubjub looks to have an easier clamping mechanism if you are looking to remove at the track, then fit back on for the ride home. This version seems very solid if you want to install and leave there for the long term.

Dia Compe make them, not sure where to buy them other than tracksupermarket, but that's in Japan

It's a lot more intuitive having the computer there, if that chap made one suitable for a Garmin 705 I'd get one.
