What wheels do you get ?
What cockpit option did you order ?
What do people think of a “what I recently tested” thread for people to share their at home testing results ? Tell you what, get a few likes on this and I’ll start one. I don’t want to bore people if there is no interest
Yes! I am very interested in your Ventum testing, because I am very interested in the Tempus to complement my NS1.
It’s coming with the 808s, so not looking at changing. I also went with the ASC Pro cockpit, 325mm. Setting it up for 40km TTs and shorter.
what happened to your Cervelo?
So my biz partner is doing IM Canada. We bought the Ventum to optimize for that with the focus being wheels/tires for “rough roads”, staying cool because he overheats easily (helmets) and suits. He was on a 119 rim so wider tires were not an option. He looked at a few bikes, we decided to go with the Ventum.
I am still on the Cervelo. I am upgrading the cockpit. I race TT only. After IM Canada, I will flip to the Ventum for a few TTs
So at the end of the summer we will have tested
Aero vs road helmets
A few tires (5000S, 5000TT, Corsa Pro, Corsa Pro Speed, Pirelli and maybe Schwalbe)
Tire Pressure on various roads
Cockpit upgrade on Cervelo
Ventum vs PSeries vs Argon 119
Low cost aero clothing
Temperature inside the helmet
I am sure i am forgetting something 
We do this while testing sensor technology. It’s kind of a fun application of the more ‘serious’ stuff.
no further words needed……

We plan to test up to 7.5 bar on the hookless.
That clothing you provided may come back with a few rips.
Don’t tell the test pilot what the plan is. It’s all for science !
We have the ASC pro on the Ventum
I got an Ultimate Wing with ASC52 for the PSeries, so eventually both bikes will have same basebars to make it a fair race.
We had to order bits and pieces and it “seems” the non Pro Series is more configurable. That was a bit surprising, but the options available from PD make this really attractive
This is not applicable to your 40km TT but it looks like BTA solutions for the asc pro setup may be a challenge. We are looking at options. Tririg does not work.
Since I’m only doing TTs, I’m really trying to stay UCI legal just in case I do something that requires it. I did get the PD RZ3 bottle and cage as a hydration solution, and may just leave it on even if the event is short enough that I won’t need any on the bike hydration.
I did consider just keeping the stock ASC52s, but when looking at my pad X and Y, the Pros were almost spot on with the stock accessories. We’ll find out this coming week how good my math is.
SUPER interested!!!
Not sure what feed u guys get , pretty sure it’s just a world feed
It’s very obvious that he had a blow out and a quick google will give plenty of podcasts and articles speaking about it
So certainly not fake news
Here is just a couple of said folks talking about it
Doesn’t mean it a issue but it certainly did happen
Along with the blowout at half Ironman ocean side being caught on camera a couple of months ago , probably shows this is happening way to often
Tubeless is great until it’s not
Unless your running 30 psi in a mtb tire
Almeida’s tire definitely came off, no question about it. Folks act like we don’t have 100+ years of seeing glued-on tires blow off rims when bikes go sideways at speed.
Just fwiw, you can see the rim sans-tire here, being pulled off the top of the Bahrain guy by the moto driver -
Also fwiw, after fully Zaprudering the video, I think Almeida may well have gone down first, regardless of what I heard from folks who were there and the fact that Almeida’s bike wound up on top of the BV guys, but nobody is pulling anything definitive from the vid footage.
I think the biggest thing I take from it is that the tire seems to have completely disappeared (not with bike , although it’s hard to tell)
Which means it’s had a serious blow out/failure and been snapped in half otherwise it would still be within the bike frame
You got 5000TT and Corsa Pro Speed in 30mm? Any hint on where to obtain those? Also Pirelli TT tyres in 30mm or those are their road race tyres?
Hmmmm, waiting for another batch and you are right, no speed 30. Now I question if they exist. If not, good, one less test. Still waiting on new Conti and it seems TT30 may not exist. So maybe I throw in some Schwalbe I have. He will use the fastest we have. Not buying any more tires
these are the pirelli
Hope y’all don’t mind I took some executive decision making to kick start this thing…
At least until we hire Marc to write this for the front page 
Thanks for doing it. I gauge there is some interest we should be able to shoot the shit on it.
I am embarrassed to say this is my first experience mounting my own tubeless. I rely too heavily on my LBS mechanic that lives this stuff so I get front of the queue service.
Makes better sense - Archetype seems to be the first/only TT-type tyre of more than 28mm (not counting the stuff re-labelled 29mm to officially pass ETRTO 25mm inner width requirements). And the RS I wouldn’t say is Pirelli’s TT tyre, they have one specifically named TT - but again, only available in 26mm and 28mm.
The pirelli were gifted by a pirelli sponsored athlete that I gravel tested. I do some kind of experiment every day it doesn’t rain so I may eventually run out of things
