[Mark McM]

And you thought that in cycling, "half-wheeling" meant riding just ahead of the rider(s) next to you. But here's a whole new meaning for "half-wheeling":

Awesome rig for riding over speed bumps, at least on the back

Every time is see one of these contraptions, I say “just because you can, doesn’t mean you should.”

However, reminds me of these…

i don't understand the storyline:

- guy's out riding his bike
- front wheel explodes upon head-on impact with curb
- cuts both wheels in half and re-engineers rear part of bicycle
- buys entirely new front wheel

how does modifying the rear of the bike solve a problem that occurred with the front of the bike?

why modify the rear at all? why not just put on a new front wheel, like he did anyway?

If he was able to do that during a ride, he wasn't using disc brakes, and definitely not hydro.

incoming:

t + 2 weeks: the manufacturer explains this kind of bike allows "50% more efficiency"

t + 2 weeks + 1 day: Cycling weekly does a test, confirms 50% and also the this bike "just wants to accelerate"

t + 3 week: Ineos Grenadier uses the system on all team bikes, claiming their own independent wind tunnel testing at the Cern LHC showed 20% more Wattage output on the neutrino level

t + 3 Weeks: Hambini roasts the product, calling it a ***** **** of **** designed by *****. No one listens because bad language and is he even an engineer?

t+ 4 weeks + 1 day: GCN puts this bike against Si on a 1980 Colnago. The Colnago loses due to toestraps

Excellent. You forgot "planing", but on the other hand, I can't remember what the heck planing is, but know that some folks are deep into it.

What I don't get is why he didn't cut the rotors in half - unnecessary weight

You skipped t + 3 week, 3 seconds. UCI bans....
