1. 這個時代，UCI 還在守著車重不能低於6.8kg，阿捏乾丟



這規則是1999 年被技安的TCR 逼出來的... 當年的TCR... 恩... 是有缺陷的經典...

而2004 年褲內狗成功窩裡反，披上maglia rosa 時座駕砍農屌SIX13，不小心催破了6.8kg... 當年他們是這麼抗議這個鳥規定...


而現在... 根本不用費盡心思去輕量化，職業車隊戰馬隨便組都hold 不住6.8kg，技師們要傷腦筋的是怎麼加馬達增重而不被人發現...

因為UCI 在職業比賽還挺認真秤重的...就有人因為車子輕了100g 而失格...

但在車架廠不斷的努力之下，只要能提出車架測試，確認安全無虞，UCI 不該墨守成規

Scott 首席工程師Benoit Grelier 說得好：If the current limit of 6.8kg is selected to ensure the safety of the bikes for the riders, then the rule should be revised. We can build a bike of 7.2kg which will be dangerous to ride, and a bike of 6.0kg which is strong enough for all races. Take a lightweight frame, assemble it with heavy, strong wheels, and use a lightweight exotic handlebar… Your bike weights more than 6.8kg, but don’t go for a sprint with it! From our experience, a frame and fork combo of less than 1kg does not compromise on safety or handling, because we surpass the highest level of testing at EFBe, and reach our stiffness targets. Giving a weight limit for the complete bike does not ensure the safety of the bike. Strength and Fatigue tests for each bike part does. However, as I already had the opportunity to mention to the UCI, if they would like to go in this “testing” direction in place of the current weight limit, the UCI should use the existing norms and tests to define their rules, and discuss with the bike industry. They should not create another “UCI” standard, which would lead to a huge increase of the development time and costs, slow down the industry and kill smaller brands.



2. 為～什麼AQ 賭盤常常莊家通殺？ Forecasts are for Fools｜inrng



恩...另一個原因是Q 半仙阮囊羞澀，買不起更多獎品...



舖了上面的梗其實是為了下面這個踏板

3. Garmin Vector power meter pedals 終於鋪貨了



BikeRadar 馬上釋出評比：4.5 顆星

會讓眾多車迷望穿秋水的原因是因為Garmin 一直想辦法搞定精準度與再現性

以往來說踏板功率計所偵測的數值會隨著騎乘而越來越高，不改進根本不能用(這種功率計賣鬼島啊，一定熱銷～)

因此Garmin 雙管齊下，搞定數據漂移，誤差+/-2%：1. 每個踏板軸上有8 個silicon strain gauges，比起市面上功率計常用的foil gauge，silicon strain gauge 的雜訊線性隨著溫度而變化；2. 每個踏板軸裡有個預校好的自動調節溫感器

這種解決方式讓Q 半仙讚嘆，幹得好啊！

Garmin Vector power meter pedals 報價1700 鎂，比Stages 貴1000 鎂，卻也比SRM 的頂級款便宜1000 鎂

可以接受，Q 半仙的TIME RXS 似乎也該換了...ㄣ...
