Tester's T3

how is that carbon fiber attached to the outer metal teeth? how strong is it?

Nice bunch of mods. I'm hanging around with bogans hoping to collect excess testosterone via osmosis. Cheap, legal performance enhancer ;)

Superglue.

The chainring bolts (all 9 of them) go straight into threaded holes in the metal, the carbon bit just adds a bit of flexural stiffness.

Any updates on this? Loads of exciting stuff was happening and it's died down :(

Lamp bracket mounted

This is all kinds of awesome!!

It's been ridden, but without the good wheels. Slight cock-up on the rear axle design means it needs to go back for some minor reworking, plus design improvement. Currently has a steel hollow axle and QR which works fine but isn't as trick as the final arrangement. Waiting for the brake to arrive so I can get the axle and brake centre bolt done at the same time. Haven't had any time/weather to take decent pics yet.

It rattles a bit, I'm going to get it remade in slightly thicker carbon, and I'll get the mounting bolt closer to flush while I'm at it.

Well, when it's refined I may well put an order in :)

how much does this custom carbon cost, looks awesome

The lamp bracket was £3.50 + p&p

Interesting! Water jet cut?

Fuuuuu that's way cheaper than I thought, I suppose they're pre fabricated sheets rather than custom moulds but still. Good job on the build it looks lovely, want to see a full pic :)

I think they use a CNC router, definitely some kind of metal tool rather than fluid jet. They can do counterbores/countersinks, which wouldn't be possible with a water jet.

Nice! and good price then! So you supply them the design or do they do that too?

How is the chain-wheel with the circular hole connected to the cranks?

Bolts, lots of little ones. Bolts to a Zipp crank which has been discontinued as far as I can see.

Holy crap. Just got back to this cool project. All sorts of awesome have happened but I wonder. Why the aero rear light setup? For training only?

No, I leave it on for racing. The penalty in weight/drag is negligible, as is, I suspect, the benefit in safety.

Also, its kind of the perfect spot for a Garmin Edge 500 for data logging if you could do without HR/W info while racing :)

Presumably also midweek club racing? My locals are strictly no light no ride.

You can find my views on compulsory lights on timetriallingforum

I could, but then again it wouldn't make any difference to whether or not I'm allowed to race :)

Custom headset cover back from the anodiser today. Lowers the bars by about 3mm, enough to make a bit of filing of the back of the stem necessary. Not visible but now in place is the custom glued in steerer plug for headset adjustment. Eventually the spacer on top of the stem will be replaced with something neater.

New brake is coming, this is the latest update from TriRig showing pre-production parts just out of the die

Crappy phone pic, but here it is in ridable form before the start of the 50 on Sunday - first time I've had the good wheels in this year, although I had a tractor tyre on the front due to running out of good tyres.
