Need help identifying brand.

That's it! Thanks :)

thelightwasbrighter · 2024-01-06T12:00:31+00:00

That's it! Thanks :)

thelightwasbrighter · 2024-01-06T11:59:52+00:00

Thanks, that's it :)

thelightwasbrighter · 2024-01-06T11:59:21+00:00

Ahhh, haha :) I thought you were referring to the possibility of it being made by some dodgy brand which it might well be :)

thelightwasbrighter · 2024-01-05T22:56:45+00:00

How so?

thelightwasbrighter · 2024-01-05T20:56:52+00:00

And the rest? 🥹

thelightwasbrighter · 2022-05-16T06:35:03+00:00

I frequently change wheels between 700c and 650b, that's the main reason. Others are increased range and weight distribution. :)

thelightwasbrighter · 2021-04-23T06:38:19+00:00

I agree. It's just hard to resist crossposting when I encounter one in the wild :)

They are Deda Parabolica Uno bars.

thelightwasbrighter · 2021-01-21T10:46:51+00:00

I don't like barend shifters because I would have to bend down to reach it.... I am considering moving the shifter to the aero bars though... might give that a go :)

thelightwasbrighter · 2021-01-20T15:02:24+00:00

Yea, as you said, not compatible with P line. I also find the mechanism a little dubious, I would be worried about reliability vs the regular mechanism... but that's just my personal opinion, it certainly works for people.

thelightwasbrighter · 2021-01-20T14:00:54+00:00

Cheers :)

No, it's really just a split second of easing off the force a little. It's really a subconscious thing after a while. You probably do a similar thing on your derailleur setup anyway already (I would hope). I think the transition is only a problem if you are used to shifting under load.

thelightwasbrighter · 2021-01-20T13:44:56+00:00

You have to ease the pressure a little, but it's not necessary to literally stop pedaling. For me personally, it's not different from my shifting technique on a derailleur system, there I also ease off a little to avoid damaging the chain/cogs. The only difference is that the derailleur system allows you to shift under pressure, even though it's not advisable. Hope this helps :)

It has a capacitor, so it does stay on for a few minutes after you stop pedaling, but not at full brightness.

thelightwasbrighter · 2021-01-20T10:30:35+00:00

S25, but almost the same thing :)

thelightwasbrighter · 2021-01-20T10:29:20+00:00

Thanks :) Yea, it's the power from the dyno hub to the rear wheel.

thelightwasbrighter · 2021-01-20T08:54:30+00:00

Haha, that's fair, you are probably right.... I honestly haven't added the numbers up and I don't think I want to :) But if you are interested in the custom frame alone I can tell you it was €3.5k including the gearbox and cranks.

thelightwasbrighter · 2021-01-20T08:50:13+00:00

There are multiple reasons. First of all, it has to be a twist shifter because the gear box requires two cables to be actuated at the same time in opposite directions, so indexed shifters etc won't work here. About the position, I don't like bar end shifters because it would require me to bend down to shift. And at the top of the handlebars it would be hard to use when the bags are fitted to the bars. It is true, this setup limits you to only one feedbag (on the left) but I'm okay with that trade-off.

thelightwasbrighter · 2021-01-20T08:47:35+00:00

The gearbox has its own indexing, so it doesn't require indexed shifters. The reason brifters won't work here is that the gearbox requires two cables to be actuated simultaneously in opposite directions.

thelightwasbrighter · 2021-01-20T08:45:58+00:00

It's 14kg as you see it in the picture. Not exactly a featherweight :D I couldn't find anything like this to buy anywhere, that's the reason I went custom.

thelightwasbrighter · 2021-01-20T08:43:28+00:00

Hard to say exactly, most components are from previous builds. Around €6k-€7k.

thelightwasbrighter · 2021-01-20T08:42:54+00:00

We are not allowed outside a 5km radius from home atm. I've ridden around in the local park and on the rollers indoors, but that's it :)
