Pretty sure in 2024 it will be in the UK

That's brutal heat. 50c plus... awesome numbers. Congrats

I have a stretch of road where I am determined it hit 50 kph and sustain it for a duration... the xshifter still causes turbulence even being behind the boom so it would be better to be able to hide it. I can get to 45kph with the monocote disc wheel. I have a 3d tail box project in the...

I never got a reply from Paul so I bet he lost his shirt on the venture. He put absolutely everything into it. 20 hour days ... just to have it flop. I think its a well cool idea. I have been thinking of putting my xshifter into the boom but then there are two issues; how do you charge the...

The great thing about you Larry is that you have very good Watt to volume ratio. Less drag is such a pleasure and even more so in the wind. You were putting out great power numbers as you weren't drafting... unlike them.

I think we just experienced a miracle. God knows Larry loves to ride and He helped him on a bit.

State of the nation... from what Larry has just achieved , it had to be the v20c Totally unreal... but well deserved

OK... I just emailed Paul Galagher... the xshifter guy... let's see what he says?

Xshifter....https://www.electrifybike.com/products/x-shifter-universal-electronic-shifter They are still selling here

The wheels are a bit naff but saying that they are ideal for a beginner as I used them too. 10y bike Maybe 2800$ worth but I wouldn't offer more. There is almost dollar to euro parity so €2800 max

Well, I have seen something that could be a half way house. Essentially the deuralleur minimises chain drag on the smallest sprocket! I could also take the long cage off and try the chain tensioner idea too. It's the ingrid rear deuralleur. (Interesting name for sure)

One of my older projects was putting some gears on a fixie. I like the aerodynamics of a fixie as the drive wheel hub size is a lot smaller than 135mm , part of the gear I bought for the project was a chain rectifier so I am thinking that this could be mounted by the chainring on the chainstay...

OK... I got on my knees today for the first time to see what sort of improvements are needed aerodynamically and oddly enough the biggest eye sore was the rear derailleur; it's way weird with the smallest sprocket giving the most drag. Even the main housing of the derailleur is like the sail to...

I can help with that, but the build might take a year whilst I test it out. Enjoy that bike... pretty sure it will take your breath away.

Basically, if a tubeless tire is a pig to put on then it's a pig to take off. I have had a front flat many times but fortunately I have saved myself all but once. If you have carbon rims then it's like hitting ice... no forgiveness if your rim hits the tarmac. I replace the sealant every 6...
