I need to cut weight. Does this mean I need to quit drinking beer and having zillion calorie lunches?

Is this your 20hr 600 bike?

It is, took the fenders off though and also ran the battery lights all the way down instead of the dynamo, to save wattz. Jan said fenders are aero but y’know, I didn’t believe him. Also the mudflaps are definitely an aero drag and they’re riveted on, so easiest to just pop the fenders.

They’ve had one for a while

Was really hoping it was a weird modular zit plate

It says it fits 700cx47 with 382 a-t-c. How does this work?

Here’s a 400mm a-t-c fork with a 700cx43mm tire:


This doesn’t look like it has a short enough fork crown area to accommodate the tire size listed:

Am I missing something? Discrepancy in measurement style? Fork length v. ATC?

It appears a mystery is afoot!

DQ: aero downtube shifters on the top of the downtube

Do the cables go above or below the bb?

Above on those little guides that sit either side of the dt above the bb shell assuming no housing run from the shifters.

yep traditionally through guides brazed onto the top of the BB shell, or clamped on to the bottom of the seattube like Campagnolo #630

though sometimes those Aero DT shifter bikes had the wires routed internally inside the downtube
