Bleeding Edge

How about a disc-equipped 20" kids mountain that weighs in at 6.6kg?! Made by German weight-weenies Tune. I hate to think how much this sells for.

No pictures, and good chance I missed this else where. Looks like SRAM are looking into electronics.

jeebus, and someone was saying ultegra cranks were ugly a while back

Do those Lightweights with the gold spokes and the complimentary factory tour belong in this thread?

^ Yes, I would say they do.

Want one of these. Again, do not need.

I got one of the K-Edge Garmin mounts today in the post! The Garmin snaps onto the bracket nice and positively, and the workmanship is really good. Fuck holding a computer on with rubber bands.

^ i thought i was the king of bling!!!

oh wait…

new rear hub

been built up by the owner of this stuff

which isn’t me, i don’t build wheels

^You call that a knife? This, this is a knife:

Dash Veronica rear hub - 109g
Dash Hubs

Yes but the extralite knife is acutally my knife!

Pretty much anything from dash belongs in this thread…

Doesn’t it make the bike a little front-heavy? Rubber (or silicone) bands are at least multi purpose (and lighter)… that K-edge mount would struggle to hold a broadsheet newspaper together when thrown out of a moving vehicle, and would be hopeless in rubber-band-firing-fights with other kids.

I heard Tony Martin used silicone filler (not unlike Selleys wet surface filler) to fill the gap between his helmet and his face in the Oly TT, improving air flow.

Well that’s the opposite of a supple tyre casing.

the holes would get clogged with crap too

But they’re speed holes.

maybe for a commuter or to put on bikes being sent to africa

maybe…

Candy SRM’s anyone?
