The extra weight helps you go downhill faster.

I've already got that covered.

On a long ride yesterday, I had to sneak into one in the dark at a construction site. Good thing it was there. Bike shorts and tights make it difficult to go behind a tree.

I must confess. I am extremely disappointed that our resident scientist (Mr. repen) did not jump all over the scientific faux pas in post 30 of the Silly Road Cyclist thread.

I'm with you brother. But, even more weight means more downhill speed.

...there's a lot of faux pas masquerading as science in the road forum, and [MENTION=183557]rpenmanparker[/MENTION] is only just one guy. :(

...this really calls out for the position of road forum science monitor, don't you think ?

Wouldn't that be pseudo science or junk science?

Think this tandem has too much flop? That and the small captain's quarters have me concerned but I'm totally digging it otherwise.

I usually hand bottles back to the little lady while riding. Tightly rationed, of course :)

It's good to be the king.

I tried that philosophy in the house in which I reside.....once.

I just assumed he meant light years/eon. No sense jumping all over a guy for a typo omission.

Are you mellowing?

Must be getting old... Ordered a compact crank today.

Only when I'm not serious.

...maybe. Doesn't the science of junk usually come up in the bibs threads ?

More progress:

Since the pic, the through tenons on the bottom have also been cut and trimmed flush to match those on top. The goal for tomorrow is to get the surface prep done so that I can slap a few coats of clear poly on it on Wed. After that, it's a matter of installing the leveling feet and calling it done.

No - saddle threads.

Beautiful!

Danke, danke. It's certainly not perfectly executed but it's been a really good learning experience and I'm happy with how it's gone so far. Can't wait to get it set up - it's a sturdy as a brick **** house, so the gear should be happy sitting on it (though the cats will be pissed that they're probably not going to have enough room to sleep on the amp when I listen to the music anymore).

Correct. DIY resistance for rollers:
