THURSDAY Lunch update: CLASSIFIED
Added 2023-09-14 11:45:43 +0000 UTCHi all, a few updates.
1. CLASSIFIED have entered the PT test pool. I am quite impressed with their open-ness to send me something for test. They have also sent me an un-released white paper with theoretical, numerical, and experimental efficiency results. It is quite impressive. I will have a call with them soon to discuss it.
2. Road wheels: I am now back testing the Winspace Megas, which will probably be the next video. After a teething issue of the bolts, they're very good wheels if you're in the market for something like that. After those will be the Farsports Wave which I am also riding.
3. MTB wheels: 9Velo MT30 wheels on test. These have been really good so far but a bit light for enduro.
4. Gravel build: The Yoeleo bike is almost finished - i am just waiting on some smaller tyres as the 2.1s gave me excessive toe overlap. Actually, toe overlap on this frame in a 58cm is present on even a 32mm conti... They really need to look at the geo again in larger sizes. The front center of an offroad bike should be way longer.
XL TCR (road): 624mm
XL Yoeleo G21 (gravel); 612mm (!)
5. PT products. I have now released a Direct Mount stem spacer for DH bikes, mainly for my own benefit but I have supplied a few samples to the World Cup circuit racers too. These are now live on my website and are aimed at bigger riders who want more height and reach for a more secure position. Pretty much all DH bikes have a shorter reach than Trail/Enduro bikes size for size because of the slack head angle and height of the fork.
