I hope we don't see one of these cool pieces of equipment showing up in your local transition zone!

No kidding! $799... I'd be willing to bet at least one person tries to sneak one of these into a race next year. Hopefully it makes some sort of an audible whine.

they just need to do bike doping tests on all hipsters.
Find out what it is in life that you don't do well, then don't
do that thing.

A disc cover with some zipp decals and I'm willing to bet that it would go unnoticed at a lot of tris. Even if it makes a noise - it can't be THAT loud.

it'll be a dead give away if you're seen sitting upright eating a bag of Cheetos and going 32 mph.

There is zero doubt this will show up.

hmmm, I have a disc cover, went one 5mile stretch at Galveston at 28 +, normally about a 21 mph rider, and I look like I just ate a bag of Cheetos. Could be subject to future testing?
