You can't fix stupid ..

no offense, but this looks like a complete mess......have you thought about cleaning up the lines at all?

"I would definitely smell her seat after a century ride"

Not a lot of drop on the front end.

I know, it worked BUT it looked pretty ghetto.

I cleaned it up over the winter. I got new aero bars and a bar fly and Nokon cables and some tri rig brakes.

I will put some pictures up when I get a chance.

Here's mine:


Going to experiment with the heigth of the steerer tube and then cut it. Also need to redirect all the cables trough the Sigma. Still thinking about the best way to do this for the cables going to the shifters... Maybe a strange angle on the rear profile design bottle-cages this way, but I like it. I can get and place the bottles fast and haven't lost one so far. Next to come; a stages or power2max powermeter.

I cleaned up the cables over the winter. Changed them out for NOKON, added the TRI RIG brakes, got rid of the DIY cateye mount and added a bar fly for my Garmin.





Now for some Ghetto DIY.




I don't care but it works.

It is a painted Gatoraide container (dry mix concentrate)



It holds my spare tube, 2 CO2 and chuck, patch kit, tire levers and tool.



Additional my 5 OZ flask of EFS gell fits in the carrier and has NEVER ejected.



I have the 2 bottle cages (which for cheapo aluminum have been great, they have never ejected either) I use them during long training rides but leave them off for races as the speedfill is usually enough for sprints and Olympics and during the 70.3s I have done there has always been enough aid stations.

Wish me luck this Sunday at IM MT Tremblant 70.3

That's A-Nice-A Slice

Ok, thought it was time I posted my Slice...

Frame: 2011 Slice Hi-Mod, 54
Aerobars: 3T Ventus II Ltd, 60mm spacers
Shifters: SRAM RTC (10sp)
FD: SRAM Red 22
RD: SRAM Force
Crankset: Quarq SRAM Red w/ Q-rings 53/39
Brakes: SRAM Red Aerolink
Wheels Zipp 1080 (also run with Sub-9 disc)

At the races:

For the Slice owners - anyone tried fitting the Torhans VR Frame bottle? Interested to see how it fits on a Slice...

Anyone have photos?

Do the risers come with the Ventus bar or do they have to be bought separately? Also, how did you find the cable routing through the bars, particularly the front brake?

You have to buy risers separately - I bought them direct from 3T online. They don't make risers especially for the Ventus - just get the Brezza II risers. I just had to cut down the bolts they supplied by 1cm as otherwise they are too long.

Cable routing was easy - I do however prefer to have my brakes the opposite way around - right = front brake. There is quite a tight bend on the front brake from where it exits the bar to the caliper, just use a fairly flexible cable housing. Otherwise no issues.

Had a kestrel talon and upgraded so glad I did

Here is my little contribution to this amazing list.
Nothing special ... yet ;)

Changes I made:
Vuka Aluminium Base Bar
TRP carbon brake levers
DIY bottle cage holder (in the cockpit as well as behind the saddle)
DIY 'draft box' for flat kit

I love your DIY draft box. Can you give some details on it??? How did you make it???

Much cleaner than mine. Mine is a painted gator-aide dry mix container.

Hi,
I'm more than happy to share it with you.
I measured the required volume of my flat kit, cut the form of styrofoam with a clearance between box and seat post.
Next I wrapped the frame in cling film, put the foam box in place and filled the gaps with PU builder's foam, which expands inside any cavities and therefore giving you a perfect negative form of the bike's back end.
Then it was a simple matter of laminating a few layers of carbon over the form, take out the foam and attach the whole thing with two velcro straps.
The airfoil shape of the seat post stabilizes the box in horizontal direction while the seat post clamp avoids vertical displacement of the box.
Unfortunately I forgot to take pictures during the build, sorry

Thanks, I may give that a try over the winter.

My slice posing for IMKY on Sunday.

Impressive rear box buddy. You could make a few bucks by making custom colored boxes for Slice riders.

Can I ask you, what version of the risers did you use for your ventus ii? I can't seem to find a clear answer online as to the right ones to use, and I'd love to get some so I can drop my base bar and trim my stem from it's ridiculous height.
Thanks
