Tillquist, can you tell us something about your experiences with the walser bar?

I use a Easton Attack TT and thing about buying a walser. Can you compare both?

Thanx

No, I can't compare Attack TT and Wasler Bar2. I have never trayed the Attack bar.

The Wasler Bar2 give you a great support under you forarms.

I have ride with those TT-bars: 3T (1999-2002), Cinelli Angel (2002-2006), Wasler Bar1 (2007), Wasler Bar2 (2008-) and it's the best bar I have ride with until now.

How did u painted the cranks?

The crank is painted by a car-painter.

Did they sand it before , any special preparation? i am thinking of painting an ultegra crankset for my TT bike black or white ...

I do now they use a special paint before the black one.

The "special paint" is called "primer" (or "grunder" in Danish): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paint_primer

Primer (paint)

A primer is a preparatory coating put on materials before painting. Priming ensures better adhesion of paint to the surface, increases paint durability, and provides additional protection for the material being painted.

Primers for metal

Some metals require a primer (such as un-treated aluminium) while others may not. A primer designed for metal is still highly recommended if a part is to be exposed to moisture. Once water seeps through to the bare metal, oxidation will begin (plain steel will simply rust). Metal primers may contain additional materials to protect against corrosion, such as sacrificial zinc.

Metal hydroxides/oxides do not provide a solid surface for the paint to adhere to, and paint will come off in large flakes. Using a primer will provide extra insurance against such a scenario. An additional reason for using a primer on metal could be the poor condition of the surface. A steel part can be rusty, for example. Of course, the best solution is to thoroughly clean the metal, but when this is not a viable option, special kinds of primers can be used, which chemically convert rust to the solid metal salts. And even though such surface is still lacking in comparison to the shiny clean metal, it is yet much better than weak, porous rust.

Painting and gluing aluminum is especially important in the aircraft industry, which uses toxic zinc chromate primers and chromating to add the necessary adhesion properties.

Amazing bike!!
Just one thing, isn't the front wheel turned wrong? If you see how it's turning you'll see that the "drop" shape of the spokes isn't in the right direction, if I see right...Otherwise, once again, amazing bike

[Tillquist]

isn't the front wheel turned wrong?

Yes, you are right. I have not noticed before you mention it

[marcusp]
