what about the 'real' coust they are alot taller than most and pretty good to, and i can only imagine they would be even better on a ground D521http://amg-bikes.com/en/rim-brakes-pads/66-rim-brake-pads-coustellier.html

if thats not how you work out the area iv gone wrong some where or you have got some doggy spokes or lastly you can't measure i took checked a spoke i have here 2.3mmx 1mm. you also assumed all wheels have the same spoke tension. spoke tension is the biggest variable you missed out on and the biggest relation between how stiff and flexy the wheel feels.

well im glad you agree on that, i did some maths my self 3.14x1.15x0.5 =1.805mm^2 and with the added forging to the material stiffness to weigh comparison will be greater than the 2.0-1.5-2.0 you already stated. normal spokes to you must be 2mm plain gauge where as i always go for 2-1.8mm

was that a question? not sure what your getting at ? but i do remember it was youngs modulus for stress and strain, but then again cx rays arnt round so can you still use that? maybe you should do some calculations for comparison between the cx rays and the laser 2.0-1.5-2.0 as you seem to like that stuff... even you dont know the material properties but you can guess that? i like how you ~ that key about.

more videos please

here we go again... with your simple assuming. i really dont want to do sound like im arguing with you here Adam but people seem to take what you say on here as fact. you have compared the area of the different spokes listed and assumed they are all made from the same materials. you also failed to notice the extra forging process required that bladed or aero spokes go through, giving them additional stiffness. just whats needed in trials with the extreme acceleration and sudden braking directly from sapim site figures say it all really.

I have these on 3 or 4 wheels they are strong light and I differently don't find them flexy at all. John Webster was the person who told me about these and he seems to thing they are stiffer. Kenny Belaey had them on his bike to. Iv never snapped any but I have snapped the standard sapim spokes which are shit compared to DT.

to be honest I think alot of people want a really loud brake, personally I wish you could get a silent magura

No it's far better, magura locks the wheel where a disc locks the hub which allows the wheel to stil move.

1 of them does look faily marked on the end. I take it that's the one that broke ?

The 610 doesn't stretch to much compared to 710. Maybe you could post a couple of pics to see the location.

Skf supply hope with the bearing as the company I work for lost the contract to them. They used to be Ina.

The freewheels have quite a short life span, antt very reliable at the moment.

That would be my first thought, ideally run furring the winter months. I think so many get put off with shit weather darkness that it would be a welcome chance to ride over the winter

yes that would work, but it reallt cant beat the snail cam with an added grove done by yourself, it only takes a round file and a vice, so easy to do. you can also turn it over and make a new slot if you chain stretches. but just by a kmc zx 610 chain which doesn't really stretch at all. also why to people insist on running the chain so f**king tight that you can hear the freewheel crying out in pain?? also that method hes using relies on the skills of the person making it to get it accurate

well i thought it was pretty good, i liked the edit..ha. them shorts must have been cut down because they are normally fairly baggy... i really wanted to know how heavy he was after i watched that, but the rest of them stats where slightly wrong... 11 months ? he does have fairly bad technique but i doubt that.. could be the next Damon Watson. sorry to compare Damon.

That actually is a method to promote fast twitch muscle fibres, the same results can't be achieved with a skipping rope, interested to have a go on one

Apparently so

Yea think do

I always make sure it's atleast the height of the top clamping bolt at the clamping point at the rear of the stem as a rule.

Does your wheel move ?

Grind a small notch in ur snail cam where the bolt head will be only about 1mm it's just enought

Are your drive rings the original pair that came in the hub from the factory? Is the whole hub 3 months or just some parts?

No I wouldn't, so you don't do comps and maybe I shouldn't expect you to understand that, we all watch how other nations dominate the world cups, euros and world champs and in the past there has been some riders getting half way to that standard from the UK and that's been great to give them support but to watch them fail in the ends pretty disappointing. Now ever comp Jacks attending these days he's in with a chance of winning and we should support him as much as we can, nothing wrong with showing a bit of pride. Just think of the younger riders getting inspiration from what Jacks doing, just think how good they can get with a chance to watch and ride with some one of his talent. I know I love to watch him ride and ride with him. Hit it hard, body weight abit more over the bars and push the bike through.

Depends what tyres your proposing? It's all a compromise
