Rear Headtube Fairing





















In the process of making a rear headtube fairing like the above.

Lessons:
  • Use 2 pieces full sheet of fiberglass (not glass tape)
  • Put toothpicks in back of mold and press into another piece of foam so that it stands up
  • measure out resin and hardener, so it goes off as expected
  • make mold trailing edge as sharp as a knife blade (not rounded)

P3 modified handlebars

They came out really nice and are only 34cm C-C. No basebar is that narrow!

Aero Cranks upgrade

Just got some new FSA Kronos aero cranks on the P3alu. So much sexier than the Truvativ triple cranks that were on there previous. Who would put a triple on a speedemon TT bike like the P3?

It might not make the bike any faster, but it sure looks faster dont it? Also, its a 54 tooth large ring. The American River Bike trail is so flat, need a slightly larger ring, plus its just cooler.
