Super Mega Aero Tuck

Postby Snoop Doug » Sat Jan 31, 2009 12:06 pm

Well now. The first TT of the season loometh large. Occured to me this morning that I really shoud try out the new bike before racing it :shock: . Hadn't even turned a pedal on it afore this morning.

Swooshed down to CSS. Very first impression, the bike is smoooooooth, way smoother than the rider :oops:

Plan was just to do a few miles to get the feel of the thing and check it all works. Went out with the 18s and sorry folks, just couldn't resist putting the pedal down after the first roundabout. :twisted: Bad form I know, sorry.

You may have read my rather odd tale about my incredible shrinking bike earlier in the week? Well, I'm zooming along the A23 thinking, I like this bike. And I can't help but feel I'm getting more and more aero. Super Mega Aero in fact. Then it hit me, the handlebars weren't quite tight enough and they were slowly, steadily, dropping :shock: :oops:

Ah well it was fun while it lasted and I guess mission accomplished. Back home to tighten some nuts eh finbarr :roll:

Fine question. I'm pioneering a revolutionary bladder system secreted between my two lens shaped rear wheel covers. Will let you all know how I get on

Eventually then you will have to get a tub on the rear so you only have to carry one type of spare, if you do that sort of thing :D
