    It has to be... I cut off the stalk for the front mesh... I will let you know when I get the correct chainring. I am very excited about the new drivechain. Xshifter catters for sram 12 Eagle systems. Its interesting to see the different pull ratios from 12 speed mountain bike to 12 speed...

    No.4- generational change not just a step up

    I would say the downtube is a bit fixed straight and level. Some riders would prefer more slope in order to get up bigger slopes. Not sure if you can make it more flexible? Removable front forks and removable rear forks that have attached fenders come to mind. It would make it so easy to pack...

    No.4- generational change not just a step up

    Looks fast. You can save more watts by covering more with the wheel hoods. Probably 20 watts saved. I was impressed with a product that was called aerofender https://thegadgetflow.com/portfolio/bike-wheel-fairings/

    I do know of an infrared nasal suppositories (removable of course) which are supposed to inhibit the nasal membrane from inflaming? Does it work?

    6 month cruz bike visa. I love it. I wonder how much I would have to pay for that?

    Definetely a coffee read... updating the motor

    So every day is a revelation , well it can be. There is me wanting desperately to maximise my fitness without having to buy an in-house trainer and matching TV. Only to find out that antihistamines can effect training. Unfortunately like so many others I suffer with allergies and this spring...

    My Very First Recumbent is a V20

    Word of caution. Straight arms causes pulled tendons. Going up hills ... Best just to sit back and spin. I used bull horns for a few years. I had/have the 3m carbon aero.

    What is it with chinese ... they never want to admit they are wong. Anyways... the supplier will send me the "thin" version of the chainring that will fit the sram axs 12 speed flat top chain. So I have to relink this chain as the vendetta needs more links. I wonder if the standard link tool...

    Those new roval wheels with dt swiss 370 hubs (with 16 engagements) for just over 1100 looks so so tempting :rolleyes:

    Tami is a cool name too. Dare I say it ... a cool cat that's ready to scalp. Yep welcome to the tribe. That bike I am always tinkering with trying to save more watts on my 8th year of having her. It's more than a bike but a way of life. Profound Pro-found

    The last photo for a while. The big shimano 105 shifter has just changed into a mini button. Amazing magic. I haven't cut the zip tie yet. Lost a whole lot of drag and weight thanks to Paul Gallagher at https://cell-cycling.com

    As a cautionary note. The LTwoo ceramic pulleys that I have on the shimano derailleur might be a little off so I will replace just the pulleys and not the gate.

    I don't give up easily. Thanks for the kind words. The company I ordered from gave me the wrong chainring as its 11 speed chainring compatible. The xshifter software on android has a few problems but I tried a different way and it worked. So just have to wait a couple of weeks for a new chainring.

    12/13 speed systems aero

    So... and now the bad news... The minipod shifter controls doesn't step through the cassette properly. And even worse the stone 12 speed chainring doesn't seem to be compatible with the sram flat top 12 speed chain.

    The 11 speed shimano ultegra derailleur hits its end stops ok... possibly even room for 13 sprockets. The xshifter is in position A+ as its in the wind shadow. I will cable up across the chainstay in order to keep drag down to a minimum. I have put inverted brake levers on the handlebars. As...

    12/13 speed systems aero

    So here is something weird, really weird. I received an idea of trying the old enhanced shimano ultegra 11 speed rear derailleur (it has a long gate with ultra big and little ceramic pulleys). The pulleys oddly enough work with the sram 12 speed flat top chain. I haven't tried yet adjusting the...
