[@paulschulman8131]

Been in the endurance racing world for a long while now. Should have been designed into the system from the start. Marketing saying they copied the car industry yet didn't bother with this likely as the first to market cost would be extremely high to justify it.

Great info, Hambini. Thanks!

[@hw5533]

As someone into the 3d printing world, one of the main reasons you would replace conventional manufacturing with 3d printing is if there were geometries that were just not possible to manufacture. It doesn't seem like those hubs are solving any problems and adding to complexity by having computer generated structures.

[@larryt.atcycleitalia5786]

If you're old enough 3D printing seems like the CNC of the day. Back then tons of crap was quickly machined out of aluminum billet instead of forged and most of it quickly failed because it just wasn't strong enough. Cranks, seatposts, hubs...all had gorgeous color anodizing and quickly ended up in a recycling bin and (sometimes) the rider in the hospital. How long before 3D printed stuff is in a recycling bin?

[@suminshizzles6951]

The factory pre-built rim brake wheel market is dumping all its stock i think. I had a hell of a time finding a decent wheelset that was a, available to buy in the UK, b, did not cost a fortune and c, was not either mavic, fulcrum or campag. I rode mavic for the last 35 years because of their SUP tech where they weld the rims together. This weld makes it so you do not get stuttter when braking. Others that use pins to join the rim jionts tend to get a build up of rubber that causes the stuttering. Even if you clean the rubber off there will be most times a metal lip from the pinning process that will still cause the stuttering. Even pinned then milled rims will still get that metal lip over time causing the stuttering when braking. So i like Mavics. Till i got a pair of Mavic Cosmic Elite wheels in 2018 The rim is SUP welded like the Open CD series. Aero spokes. They look the part, feel the part and act the part till you start using them on a regular basis. Unlike fulcrum and others, Mavic do not seem to have a no twisting of the aero spoke tech on most of their wheels. This leaves you at the mercy of having to constantly twist, with a bladed spoke tool, the spokes back into the proper angle. After every ride i would be using the tool to twist the damn spokes back. If you only twist the bladed spoke and not the nipple with it at the same time, you are slowly but surely trueing the wheel into being bent. This is what happened to the rim over time. I bent it out of shape and made it useless due to the daily spoke twisting that i had to corrent. The wheel set was tensioned for me when i first got them. So these were not loose spokes but a crap system that does not hold the spoke into place on the hub. So i am staying away from Mavic as none of their weels have a tech to stop the aaro spokes from twisting. Fulcrum and campag have this tech built into their wheels and their spokes do not twist. Why am i saying all this? I bought a pair of Vision Trimax 30KB's. But instead of a bike shop where you normally buy bike parts, i had to buy it on ebay cos no shops here in the UK had rim brake wheels for sale. They did have some but they were mostly carbon and in the 750+ pound sterling range. I am not in a position to spend 750 or more for a set of wheels. I ended up spending 300 pound on the set. Lets see if their wheels hold up better. They look really well made and i saw how they are made in a yourtube clip. They properly relieve the stress and re-true when buidling the wheels like you should to get a propely built wheel. I was impressed when i saw that. They even had a machine that stressed the wheel for them. It was as if somebody stood with all their weight on top of one side of the hub and did the same on the other side. Rinse and repeat a few times. On my every day bikes that i ride i have 105 hubs on 32 hole Mavic Open CD's. GOod wheels. They use J bent spokes. NO aero spokes. J bent aero spokes also wont bend. Long read....sorry :) BUt i was so impressed with the Vision wheels and the quality that i also did not know what to think of that agricultural description. It made it almost sound bad when then are good wheels. These wheels were not so long ago in the range i could not afford. But people are dumping their rim brake wheels so i could get them.

am I wrong in thinking the t1550 downtube leading edge iss a bit too blunt and the taper towards the trailing edge a bit too aggresive to be ideal? also am waiting to see if farports offer and rims that are 30+ mm wide and 60+ mm deep. Would be great to have a wide tyre at the back for rolling resistance and comfort gains without gimping aerodynamics by putting a way too wide tyre for the rim.

[@SidewaysStewie]

nice ending

[@Alan_Hans__]

Wireless air pressure sensor did I hear you say? Would love to see some more info on that. I imagine that this would become a huge thing on TDF etc so that the mechanics know that a rider has gotten a flat before he does.

[@suminshizzles6951]

My bet is that within a few years the tech to deflate and possibly inflate tires remotely, will shrink down to the size of a presta valve. Being able to lower the tire pressure when going from a dry enviroment that now changed to a wet one for the rest of the day, no longer has to involve a stop and bike change. Marginal gains and pro teams with huge budgets will not shy away from this. Just look at Dylan Groenewegen's ugly as fudge batman nose piece on his glasses. Funny thing is, he won the stage he wore those and everybody, including myself, was laughing at him for wearing those. I bet after he won the stage wearign those they were not longer laughing. I wasnt.

With all of these "innovations" in the drive train, I just want one thing to be solved, that is the elimination of the drop chain. It's unbelievable that's still a thing that happens at the highest level every race every year, multiple times, on so-called top "tech", which being maintained by top mechanics. It's a real shame that this is still a thing considering how agricultural the nature of this thing is. We don't see our car or plane dropped a chain that often ain't ya? No matter how companies like L-Twoo or whatever maps their road, if this thing didn't get solved, nah. It's just a shame of the whole cycling industry. Just crashed at 40kph+ because of a dropped chain a month ago, suffered a lot. Ironically what brings me peace is to later what all the videos of pros crashing from the same thing and convincing myself well now you are one more thing similar with the pros! The latest encounter of such thing in the pro peleton is just 2 days ago, at the Stage 5 of this year's TdF when Cavendish got his historical 35th win - just after he made through the finish line and stopped pedaling, that chain dropped! Obviously that day the cycling god is on his side so that all happens after he's done it. This is just so embarasing as a industry. Now knowing even if on a well maintained bike that worth a cheap car, with top "techs", it's still a gamble that there are some not-so-small chances that you'll kiss the ground, just making standing up and do a "sprint" feels so reluctant on me -- well, what for? I just don't trust this thing anymore. How was your engineering view on this stuff?

[@ferventheat]

Its called a 'narrow wide chain ring'. Used in mountain/XC bike drive trains very successfully , for decades. Why roadies dont use it? Not sure, maybe shifting ease or efficiency losses. Check out "berm peak" bike channel for a full demo. easy enough to find.
