How neat! I can see someone like Red Bull marketing something like that. The bars around here would go crazy. "Frozen Bull Balls" in your Jägermeister...gaaack! :confused: Of course, they probably can be launched out of an appropriately sized musket. Would be interesting to see a peloton go...

Nice, clear pix. Well done! My TRP HY/RD brake sets each came with both ISO adapters (front and rear), so I didn't have to order any missing parts. I didn't order them that way, just got lucky I think. My hubs were 6-bolt, so no clearance issues...but I didn't know that until now. Somehow I...

Holy crow! Did the trail makers run into a fire sale for bollards or were they expecting the occasional Panzer attack? I used to b*tch about a single row of bollards across our trail head...no more! I've got my DS-500 hanging off the race-case post in back. I don't exactly like the mount I...

No argument that mo data = better. The problem is that it is often impractical to do so. Right now, this data set lacks correlative data between the two test sets (Kicker vs Powertap). I have sit in some seriously boring meetings while test engineers hash out correlative issues between "test set...

I think you have covered the overall picture quite well. But, as interesting as comparing across platforms might be, I don't think we need to test anything but the V20...at first. Yes, complex testing is always fun. However, I'm a fan of simplicity. Test the test first. If you get a result that...

No "maybe" about it. :eek: Something like this would escalate until Bryan had to throw folks out the door...again. :rolleyes:

My warning light went on as soon as I saw two different measurement devices were used. While I do believe there are gains from dynamic vs static, 30% is indeed hard to believe. I would recommend, if possible, capturing data separately from the Powertap whilst on the trainer. Best if you do so by...

Finally got a break and put 25 mi on the V20 with the new tailbox and neckrest. I took along some tools so that I could adjust everything as needed. 1. Box is noisy. The oval lid rattles like a tin-can over the slightest rough spot. Should be easy to fix with some tape and/or rubber strip. Nice...

It will be interesting to see the price points for the various configurations. Traditionally, the cheapest offering will be what hot-rodders (like me) will go after. I would expect that to be the "Bare Bones Kit" or "BBK". It would be nice to have a really complete set of specs on that for...

I do like flat metric centuries. :) I need to add that one to my reminders...otherwise I'll forget all about it. About a 5hr drive for me (not too bad) but I can't see far enough ahead to make any long-term plans yet. As long as there is A/C in the hotel room and good food in the offing, Miz...

I would have trouble beating that time in a car, I think. The record is posted on their website...so it has to be true, right? :)

Almost completed my "V2/k Cruzer". Received a 17t freewheel for the Sturmey-Archer S3X and was pleasantly surprised to find disassembly and reassembly to be a piece of cake. LBS provided a pair of Schwalbe "Big Apple" tires for the 26" rims. They went on without much fuss. Put about 60psi in and...

The 1.5L fits nicely (and my local outdoors shop had it in stock). I have the 3L mil-spec lumbar on its way, just to test...like you said, Amazon return policy is excellent for that. The one thing I will be experimenting with are the quick-disconnects. Once a bladder is in, it is best to refill...

I must have gotten a 3.1-1/2 as my seat came pre-drilled for headrest screws. :)

Hmmm... I do like those Ventisit headrest covers. Not that I'm using mine as a headrest anymore. They look good though. In that last picture, it looks like with the Etap FD, you can remove the FD shiv (not being used)...saving a few grams. Also in that picture, the red BB cup looks suspiciously...

True...but think of all that extra weight! :eek::)

I don't think they'll let me patent the 'flipped' position. ;) I believe my Dad spent a couple of weeks R&R in Adelaide. That would have been in 1943 though... :)

Yah, I think the 2l version of the mil-spec "Antidote" would be a maximum fit. Would be nice to have the extra protection from abrasion, etc. Hmmm, I wonder if I can find these on base here? We don't have a very large contingent of ground-pounding green suiters here...we're mostly Army aviation...

Finished up my 'race-case' install. Took a pic of the way I mounted my headrest. Headrest Attach by trapdoor2 posted Mar 20, 2017 at 12:27 AM I had to buy a new Camelbak to fit the race-case, it is too small for the bladder I've used for years but one of the new 1.5l bladders fit perfectly. I...

Marketing is a very difficult business. Trying to place a 'new' product into an existing market (bicycles) depends on your capability to defeat all (reasonable and unreasonable) preconceptions tied to that pre-existing market. You don't really have to sell to the 1% (us), you need to define your...
