RIGHT! I knew there was something weird about it. If you want all the 'New Dura Ace' goodness, you gotta go whole hog.

p.s. I know Campy still supports rim brakes but their electronic shifters are wired.

Thank you for confirming that you are currently under the influence of the good stuff.
In all seriousness, if you look at Conor Dunne's data from the "GCN 2 vs 1," he and Hank managed 26mph... and Conor averaged 400w. I know that Conor's a big boy, so he's going to have an aero penalty sheltering behind a single, average-sized human, but he's also a former pro and an awesome TTist, so I'm sure his position is better than average.

Without trying to, I've heard too much about SRAM hydro that I don't even want to go there.
That does make me wonder, though - how does a system built for DOT differ from one built for mineral oil? Is the viscosity so different putting the wrong fluid in the system would make it perform that poorly?

I am aware. I am 56 and likely have one more new bike coming my way, maybe for my 60th birthday. I would consider something shiny and fancy from him or Seven/IF/Calfee/etc. but for the next few years I am sticking with rim brakes and mechanical shifting.

Im trying to work the discipline to hold on to the R3 until 2023. The only times I want to replace it are for rides where I wish I had disc, dirt roads and rain usually.

If I had the choice of one more custom-built frame, I might consider a crabon fiber one. It's all a dream for now. I will stick with my 12 year old chinese Ti frame with rim brakes.

Seems like most of the cross-country routes either goes north of here, or south (if not in the summer).

My friends Specialized had a leak at the lever/master cylinder and the rubber hood swelled to twice it's size. I'm pretty sure it's mineral oil but that part is never supposed to contact the fluid.

There has been a police pursuit on tv for 2 hours. He drove the wrong way on the freeway and did a bunch of crazy stuff but luckily didn't hurt anyone before they got him stopped. Now he is sitting in the car surrounded by a couple dozen cops. They got a close up of his face before the cops chased the cameraman away and he was yelling at the cops. People be cray cray.
I wonder how many tens of thousand of dollars this costs the city.
The K-9 unit just showed up.
