hyena beaten? naw... what happened to the clear epoxy and an optical grinder (preferably operated by a hottie in a white jacket) or, ok, by you with a dremel, electric razor or whatever... and yes, your little spot is noticeable (kids!), but i can ignore it. or better yet, if you can't fix it, maybe in postproduction you can create a round mask around the spot and insert a mini video of talking head narration? or something a la Bond intro perhaps?Hyena wrote:You clear, smudge free gopro videos make me sad

so second day of commuting on MC wheel and the issues are thus:
- Max speed of 30mph on the flat! Granted, there's a slight rubbing of the tire to frame - i have to 'true' after every jump


Oh yea, but then the wheel is still in the 9X7 and I'm back to the speed issue...
On GT, with hs3540 on 26" tire, I hit 50mph going downhill! And now I can't do more than 30mph.


I know I could add more Voltage, but all my stuff is geared for 20s...
So if i kept the MC tire and swapped the 9x7 for the hs3540, I should expect to get a top speed of 40MPH?
(Or a bit less considering the tire bulk, friction, etc - I think I could live with 38mph top speed in that wheel...)
nevermind the efficiency.


Or, if I kept the hs3540 in the 2.5" hookworm (not sure how fast sensorless will be), that would compare to 9x7 in MC tire now as (much faster than shown, really):
By the way, is it me or is that HOOKWORM a hell of a lot better tire than the CST cyclops? I've run CST for years and thought since they looked the same, they'd feel the same, but I swear the hookworm is like butter up there in the front. Is the rubber that much better? I know that the tire says "Pro" on it, so maybe it's that, or the evil 'exxon'?
Anyway, I just hit mtbr forum to find out, and found this gem
