Brad, Yes. The wheelcovers do make a difference. I noticed a difference at H'NH. I have no idea how much of the difference they make(mu guess 1 mph or so). Peggy gave Bud a kiss on the cheek after H'NH hell because she felt like the wheelcovers made that much of a difference.

Me? I just "thanks" ,no kisses.

It's a campy 10 speed freehub. It would work best on the road bike.

Man, it sure looks like at least 80% of your weight is on the rear wheel. Randy told me that the production version would be stretched out some. Even with that, I'll probably order an even longer XL size to more equally distribute the weight.

Yeah it's like 25 front 75 rear. Makes it a bit squirrely at high speeds, and probably not ideal for gravel and bumps, but it's still a fast bugger!

You'd best hurry...Peggy & I are going to California(just like the Zep song). We leave Friday. We return on 9/21.

PM me & we can make arrangements. Good thing Peggy mentioned something to me about this post. I didn't even see it.
