So, the cyclists "scan" in front of it, rather then the camera doing the scanning. Note how the ground is white. That's the finish line over time. _________________ 2013 Wilier Cento1 SR || 2009 Ridley Crossbow || 2011 Yeti AS-R 5 Carbon Last edited by jmilliron on Tue Apr 10, 2012 7:55 am, edited 3 times in total.

Astana had Ambrosio Nemesis rims laced to 105 hubs. Compare that with a good carbon wheelset and you'll get the idea about advantages or what not.

Hence his missing spokes. _________________ Exp001
