Sorry bub no pictures no cranks.

customerjon @gmail.com is where information happens.

You might want to allow for a bit more curing time for the glue used to hold the BB in place. I had a bit of an issue last year when I raced too soon on RC's. I think they theoretically need 3 days to cure, or you risk having your regulation point move.

You only need 12 hours of cure time, unless the frame is Ti or Mg, then I suggest using LOC-19269 #N-7649 Loctite Primer 1.75oz

SO THERE!!!!!!!!!!! : )

You really have a big drop from saddle to aerobars! How much of a drop is that? Nice bike.

On my scandium bike, I did have a slippage incident on Rotors, which was cured (pun intended) by letting them set up for 3 days. On my 6000 series (6001, or some such alloy), I rode them within 24 hours with no slippage. Don't know if there is a relationship there, or if I was just unlucky with the scandium bottom bracket.

Quid quid latine dictum sit altum videtur
(That which is said in Latin sounds profound)

I just had my lbs install the titanium rotorcranks on my Cervelo Dual on Wednesday and with 24 hours of curing time I rode them for the first time yesterday. No problems. I'm curious what most folks set the default position at. I've got to double check and see on mine but the offset is barely noticeable on mine. In the picture provided of the Zipp the offset appears more noticeable. As for how it worked, I rode on a Computrainer and could notice much higher watts for sprinting and out of the saddle. Still need to assess for the overall course.

I used to ride at about a 17.5 cm drop. Now its slightly less, I think. I'll need to check it when I get a chance. Remember I'm 6-3 with very long legs (37" inseam) and very long arms. My back is not flat when I ride....I'm old (50 in 3 months).

As far as the off set. its set on the #2 mark being near the most off set).

Just got back from a 45 miler and it felt like nothing at my normal or above normal speed into a 10-15 mph wind. I didn't even notice the off set unless I tried to concentrate on MAKING the cranks work. If I let the cranks do the work and just ride I never noticed and it felt great. The biggest thing I found was into a head wind, either a tractor trailer going the other way or the stiff ocean wind. I didn't lose speed near as much as the trucks went by or was hit by a gust of wind. You let the cranks work and just hammer away. I loved the ride! As far as getting used to it..............I'll consider it about done. It was really NO big deal. My legs felt great after a ride that would normally have them VERY tired.

Nice...

Now order one of the 56 or 58 tooth aero big rings. Don't know if they're faster, but they're WAY cool!!

That and a disk wheel and you'll be as cool as the other side of the pillow.

I'll eventually order a 54t chaining. Its $196 so it'll wait a little while.

I'll be racing with a HED3 Carbon front and HED 3D disc.

It's actually $154.80 for you, did you get the EClub login/password and coupon code? If not, email me and I will send it.

Even then, $154 is a lot for one more tooth. Go big man, he's got 58's, 60's, and 63's. Those would look sweet on your bike.

But if I ever wish to ride again, I'll have to order the 54. I have to realistic sometimes, I just can't turn bigger then a 54.

Thanks Gary.....I sent an email.

Met the Saris reps at Trek San Diego today, they were prepping the Powertap SL/Zipp 404 wheels for the Floyd Landis training camp. Got to check out the PT SL/404 set, very nice, but very expensive at $1700 MSRP for the rear wheel only, clincher/tubular.

I still like the idea of a set of Velocity Aeroheads (405g) with a PT SL rear 28h and a Chris King front 24h. Light enough for racing and durable for training.

In February they're bringing out the 34 teeth chain-ring....so that means a Compact set-up with a 50 too....the great advantage of Rotors once again.....

with anyone else you have to get new crankset, with Rotors you take the ones you have on at the moment and put the new ones one....slip them on and off....I'm I'm not mistaken Gary?.....

so I'm going Compact as soon as they come out.....with a 50 I will have the chain straighter on the cassette at the back for starters.....I can't hammer a 52-11 or 52-12 on the flats so what's the point....I'm hoping to have a smoother path from 17-16-15 etc etc whilst on the 50....

I'd love to get one of those big 55 plus rings but it's no advantege to me.....

....now, with the 34 I'll be able to fly up the many climbs around here......esp. on the hill climb TT course we have in Gibraltar iself.....we literally climb up to the top of the Rock, or thereabouts....I will take some pics to show you the climb soon enough......it's crazy!

I have justv talked 2 friends of mine to go Rotors too so I am the Rotor Evangelist at the moment.....hahahahaha......

How about this for a car sticker "Rotor riders do it at 1 o'clock" or even "Rotor riders have no dead spots!"....do I get a T-Shirt for this Mr. Tingley? hahahah

Are you still not seeing where one of those big mofo's would come in handy? Hint: If you need a 34 to fly up a hill, what do you think you'll need to fly down that hill? Or is it too windy to be able to pedal much on the descent?

"...as cool as the other side of the pillow." LOL, that's great.

Searching for the bliss of ultimate exertion.

"do I get a T-Shirt for this?"

When you call up and order the compact chainrings, ask Ramon to put one in your package.

Ramon is leaving Rotors he said.....didn't you know? He's off next week to another company.....it's no Daniel Garcia handling orders like mine it seems....

Gary,

What's the rim depth for the aeroheads?

Thanks,
Greg

Front is 19mm, rear OC is 21mm. They are a little lighter than Open Pros, and taller, with a ^ profile.

Thanks

Greg

"When you call up and order the compact chainrings, ask Ramon to put one in your package."

You have T-shirts?

What do they look like? Can they be ordered from your site?.

Here's what mine looks like. Just installed the big ring yesterday - can't wait to race it.

How about you? Are you breaking the sound barrier yet on the P3? You know we're all expecting big things from you this season!!
