Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

weightweenie brake porn

I went for a long ride today. Came home feeling really good. Started tuning my DA brakes with bits of Ti and alum. Together they weigh about 55-60 grams heavier than a pair of zero gravity brakes. Not bad eh?


Starting with a few bolts from Tastynuts over in the UK



the front brake tuned



just received new medical toys. Bits of ti and alum with some customization; they make good props.

some more. Feel free to critique my photography. My camera is a POS point and shoot so the macro is not too good.
