    What would you do?

    technically if you spin the same speed (as in speed of foot and muscle) you complete the revolution faster because the diameter is shorter. this is heavily miss understood. faster rpm on a smaller diameter is not faster legs.

    cornering

    Don't sit up and don't use the front brake once you are in the turn. The Front brake will de-weight the rear wheel and at those speed you are going to wash out. As for sitting up; bad idea. The reason you have to lean into a turn is to lower your center of gravity which is what keeps the...

    Aerodynamics, Dimples and hair/thorns

    Rule 105 = Max rim width must be 105% the width of the tire mounted on the RIM to maintain airflow in crosswinds greater than (I think) 8-10%. That was the big breakthrough finding that the computer models produce over and over as a hard limit that can't yet be overcome.

    S40 Handle Bar Question

    Try 3.8mm lizardskin and you might have to adjust that a bit; it ain't mountain bike grip but it gets pretty close.

    S40 Handle Bar Question

    You need something with a minimum Reach of 80mm or you will have a heck of a time getting the boom length optimal. With those bars you will have to pull it back toward you for leg clearance and that will leave arms more bent and that leads to a twitchier steering input. All bar tape isn't...

    Q ring upgrade - Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh......

    They use to do 10% in the main product, because that made OCP work on BCD130 with tons of settings; then when they went to BCD110 they lost all but 5 positions. The 16% was the next logic optimization of that if only going to have 5 positions and mount to 110 BCD leading to QXL. With the shift...

    I sense a disturbance in the 3rd Law

    And the report. GP5000 TL pretty much the easiest tubeless I've installed. Flawless on the Reynolds, and much easier than normal on the FLO's 6 of 8 seated without using the flash pump.
