NINER_boy Posted September 16, 2014 Posted September 16, 2014 Total bicycle weight: 8.45kg What makes it that heavy? The disc wheels?Maybe they "want to" keep it on the heavy side. Can keep the momentum going

GaryvdM Posted September 16, 2014 Posted September 16, 2014 Why dont they make the rear wheel sit more snug behind the seat tube. The rules say:A fairing shall be defined as the use or adaptation of a component of the bicycle in such a fashion that it encloses a moving part of the bicycle such as the wheels or the chainset. Therefore it should be possible to pass a rigid card (like a credit card) between the fixed structure and the moving part. A clarification says:If the seat tube mirrors the curve of the wheel it must not enclose it. It must be possible to insert a credit card between the tube and the wheel as shown by the illustrations below.So the rules require a gap, but yes, that gap is huge compared to what is required.

SwissVan Posted September 17, 2014 Posted September 17, 2014 Personaly i think Jensie will klap the record.... Klap being relative to the magnitude of the task....50 kmh for one hour...eish the mind boggles. Just try ride at that speed alone for 10 seconds on your next ride starting from 0 on a flat road...flip i wont even be able to reach that speed never mind maintain it for 10 seconds

To do that for 50 km is just crazy
