Current Stage Info:
I got sick of crappy carbon rim braking, so new wheels. And my old wheels were laced to a Powertap so I had to switch over to crank based.

Hmmm... This bike is perfect. Noticeable readings difference between the Quarq and Powertap?
Posted almost 10 years ago
At 200w it's about a 10w difference with the Quarq reading 5% higher. But all time highest power was recorded with te PowerTap, which is higher by about 50, although that might be just training haha.

Cranks look great! Just be careful! Apparently, raw carbon can deteriorate from UV rays over time.
Posted almost 10 years ago
Switched the cranks out, but I didn't see any deterioration in the few miles I did.

Yea, I'm guessing it would take hundred of hours direct contact.

What is the color called? Easily one of my favorite bikes on here!
Posted about 10 years ago
Actually it's China carbon... I had it all done before it was shipped to me.

Honestly no clue. LOL. I actually asked for another blue but got this. I was pissed then it grew on me.
Posted about 10 years ago
... eight days later i'm back just to say that the blue is still awesome...

How'd you do that to the cranks?
Posted over 10 years ago
So you sanded off the little grey boxes, the gloss black, and the red?

But wait, you miss matched cassette and shifter... does it shift right? the spacing on campy and shimano 11 is different isn't it?
Posted over 10 years ago
Also, just a tip, you should route the rear brake housing behind your front, so that when you turn the housings don't tug on each other

NICE! i just read up on it, didn't know the spacing worked so well! makes wheel swaps better!

I wish I could. The 100mm headtube + slammed -17 120mm stem + Yokozuna Reaction (stiff as hell) means this is basically the only setup I can run. But there doesn't seem to be any issues so that's nice.

ahhhhh i see. the yokozuna looks nice though, so thats a plus. sweet bike. i love frankenbuilds

campy and shimano?...please
Posted over 10 years ago
how do you manage to stealth your components, or did you buy them this way
Posted over 10 years ago
Stem and bar I used acetone. The post and cranks I sanded. It's under 14 on my hanging scale but I don't know how since the build list put together is a little over 14.
