Tl;dr because I hate nested quotes.

And that applause is non-pink. I love your response!

Oh yeah...your article also mentions that the top end model sports Shimano hydraulic brakes. What levers are they using for that? I haven't seen any hydro TT levers yet from either Shimano OR SRAM.

Articles about the new Dura Ace have briefly mentioned hydro TT levers. Shimano also included hydro TT levers on the new Dura Ace website, but had no information about them.

Magura is supposed to have flat mount road disc brakes this year. They have had a hydro TT lever for a few years now.

Haven't heard anything about SRAM.

I remember reading that about DA as well. Someone really needs to come up with a hydraulic junction and a third brake lever for Magura's rim brakes :)

This is great, I'm just glad to see people making something different for us minions to try.

****To me*** this is a bold new bike, and I'm glad to see someone out there taking a risk.

Time will tell how aero/practical all this is

+1 Weiss is an @ hole, go find someone else to launch a bike with

Also, why wasn't this at eurobike?

Beyond that, I think it's at least an intriguing thought experiment. Would be nice if they'd picked another athlete to work with, though. At the very least, I would think they'd want an athlete who has at least some credibility. When you have a design that is that crazy, convincing people to even give you a chance is a huge, huge obstacle. And I don't see Weiss helping them very much in that regard.

I couldn't agree with you more on this Jordan. Also have to wonder how a bike like this will fair in the Kona cross winds. Weiss has to be one of the bigger pros in racing so he's not even a good test dummy in that sense. Imagine a smaller female like Magali or Rinny?

This bike looks amazing. I am loving where these designs are going. I hope that frame will come in white!

Can somebody with some photoshop skills replace the logos with Ducati ones? Sure looks alike.

Also, Flo wheels are made in Taiwan...not China


You missed the point. They are as cheap and awful as China carbon clincher brake tracks -- the one's you order off Ebay for $180 per rim -- and they seem to scratch up just as easily.

ETA: Maybe a little picture game will help you with this. Guess which one I bought from carbon-cycle or one of those crappy open mold profiteers, and guess which one is Flo.



Why you continue to bash our wheels without data to back it up is beyond me. Resin, wall thickness, layup etc. is what matter with brake tracks. Have you done a comparative resin study, or sectioned both rims to study wall thickness or the layups?

This thing might be a handful coming down from Hawi.


could be one downfall, would have to ride it to know.

I would assume this bike is actually MORE STABLE coming down from Hawi in crosswinds. The problem in crosswinds is when your front end with not much weight gets blow away from you with not much weight under your hands, and with the massive fairing you would actually have a "counterbalance" surface for your entire bike to stay on course. It's why a disk in the rear is more stable with deep dish in the front than with only an 808 or equivalent.

There are very few winds that will take a riders rear end and lift the bike and rear end of the rider up off the pavement, so the rear is actually a massive sail to keep you on track (perhaps Rapp can explain this better)

Correct me if I am wrong but doesn't a disc provide stability due to it being close to the center of gravity and rotational forces? That wouldn't apply to this bikes front fairing.

Kinda like the downforce of a rear wing on a car? Either way I am in love with this bike.
