@MichaelREdgar@FactorBikes It is set further from the brake track, to account for the flex. This means less responsive brakes. Not to my taste but aerodynamically good
@MichaelREdgar@FactorBikes This means much more likely to have brake rub than brake mounted at seat stay. Basically means that the calliper has to be designed so that
@MichaelREdgar@FactorBikes Bottom bracket brake calliper poses interesting design problems. In action, wheels naturally flex more in the middle (i.e. not top / bottom)
@MichaelREdgar@FactorBikes Anything that increases comfort without compromising efficiency will be faster. Lowered stats also more aerodynamic I think, so double win
@pariswheels For French riders especially Tour is insanely high pressure. I think he could win the Giro &have success in the Vuelta. Tour though? ๐คท๐ผโโ๏ธ
@09AndyWalsh @TourDeJose Becomes harder for them to attack the longer it goes on -more pressure to defend their current position or just fight for the podium, not YJ
