[quote]According to Zipp, the VumaChrono is nine seconds faster over 40km than the leading competitor

Would appear they've been looking at the FSA one Cancellara uses.

Just think if they start making TT frames and I fitted it with their kit I'd be as fast as George :lol: .

It would need to be a whole lot quicker than that before I hung anything that ugly on my bike.

Ok, so maybe Zipp have got this one a bit wrong, but they must have something right with the dimples thing, George has got to have the biggest dimples in the club due to his assassination grin and he is the fastest time trialler. So there we go, dimples do work. :lol:

Cheers

:lol: , I think they just bought a dimpling machine and it cost soo much they now have to justify the cost. It's the same with us when we buy new wheels, "no, honest they're much faster they even sound quick".

I'm with you Mike on the look of it.

[quote="Marky Mark"]GOLF!!!!!!

Only if there is a windmill and a clown somewhere on the course, don't like the other type.
