A possible solution to keep A possible solution to keep panniers from swinging into the wheels could be to tie some lengths of string from the seat stay up to the seat. The panniers would hit these strings instead of continuing in to the wheels. Light, cheap, and probably very quick to...

I've had a bottle squirm out I've had a bottle squirm out on my Quest. Sucks.

They look good.  The first They look good. The first times you ride with them in the rain put all your electronics in Ziploc plastic bags or Tupperware or anything waterproof. Investigate how the bags keep out moisture. Beyond that, they sound like they are good to go on some light touring!

I would be very impressed to I would be very impressed to see the sock work with the V's MBB (i.e. moving front end)

I'm curious to see what the riding position with a 150mm chainstay extension looks like. Obviously it's based on rider x-seam but I'd still like to hear any reports from those who have tried it. It would be helpful to know your height and x-seam, too.

I use Shimano's SPD-SL road I use Shimano's SPD-SL road pedals. These work GREAT on the Quest because when I am not clipped in they sit a an easy angle to clip in to.

My cadence on my Quest is My cadence on my Quest is significantly higher than on my DF.

I think the first setup looks I think the first setup looks more elegant, possibly leads to less drag, and, like you said, even if it shifts it will just lead to some rub. Based on your first photos, in the first position it can't reach the chainstay. Although I don't know how much Silvio...

I think a lot of the reason I think a lot of the reason your power output goes up when your hands are on the bar has to do with control. With no-hands riding you must pedal and steer. This limits your ability, or at least makes it very hard to, put out high power through higher torques...

I pull by default but like to I pull by default but like to push with both arms every once in a while for two reasons. It uses different muscles letting others rest and it makes me aware of how much power I am losing by not pedaling circles. When I get lazy or inattentive the leg that is not...

The Brain Box should reduce The Brain Box should reduce your aerodynamic drag. The void behind our shoulders and head are responsible for a significant portion of the overall. Filling it, as you have done with the Brain Box, is a great step towards going faster.

A possibilityy would be a A possibilityy would be a bladder behind your seat or headrest with the hose coming out of your aero housing and resting on your shoulder.

why does the weight of the why does the weight of the water keep them from being higher?

oh my god you're fast.  oh my god you're fast. sooooo cool. How do you deal with hydration? Short enough rides that you don't need it?

Eric, good plan.  Of course, Eric, good plan. Of course, their is an optimal way to distribute your power output. That optimal way definitely skews towards higher output on the ascents, baseline on the flats, and a bit easy on the descents. How much you should skew depends on the length of...

I second John's suggestion.  I second John's suggestion. Higher bags = less air drag = go faster

I don't believe the Di2 I don't believe the Di2 system has any feedback as far as trim adjustment goes. I think it is programmed to trim assuming a standard chainstay length. Hopefully trim is customizable using their software but if not then there might be an issue of he FD attempting to...
