Zoo zoo caij tsheb kauj vab nrog kev sib tw ntug, txiav nrog ntau yam zoo kawg thiab nyuaj heev
Yog tias koj nyob rau hauv cov tsheb kauj vab titanium, Octane 64 yog lub taub hau rub, ua yuav luag tshwj xeeb los ntawm seamless 6Al / 4V titanium raj. Yog tias tsis yog, tsuas yog paub tias Octane 64 yuav yog ib qho ntawm cov titanium zoo dua uas koj yuav tau caij, thiab yuav luag qhov khoom plig tshaj plaws.
The 'Al' hauv 6Al / 4V hais txog cov ntsiab lus txhuas, 'V' rau vanadium, thiab cov lej yog feem pua ntawm txhua qhov hauv titanium alloy. Kev lig kev cai, titanium tsheb kauj vab yog tsim los ntawm me ntsis 'softer' 3Al / 2.5V alloy, nrog 6/4 tshwj tseg rau cov nta xws li BBs, tso tawm thiab lub taub hau raj.
Kuv tsis yog metallurgist, tab sis Vaaru tus tsim James Beresford lees paub kuv tias '6Al / 4V yog li 10% stiffer thiab 10% sib zog dua 3Al / 2.5V, uas pab tuav thiab sprinting tab sis ua rau tus ncej qhov hnyav ntawm 1.4. kg.' Li no nws yog siv thoob plaws hauv Octane, txuag rau qhov nyob, uas Beresford hais tias nws specced ntawm 3/2.5 los pab ua raws li.
Rau lub titanium thav duab 1.4kg yog qhov zoo heev - Kuv xav tias qhov tsim nyog 3/2.5 thav duab tuaj rau ntawm 1.6kg - thiab kuv xav pom zoo tias kev tuav yog qhov tseeb. Txawm li ntawd los kuv yuav tsis hu nws nruj heev; nws muaj ib tug nyiam xav tias ib tug tad sluggish tawm ntawm cov blocks. Uas tau hais tias, ib zaug dhau ib ncig ntawm 20kmh nws muab nqi zog pedaling thiab hnov txog txhua qhov kev sib tw riam phom.
Qhov no nkag siab vim tias tsuas yog tshaj 8kg lub Octane yuav tsis yog zingy zoo li lub tsheb kauj vab ib kilo sib dua, tab sis ib zaug nce mus rau qhov hnyav uas tshwm sim hauv supercharged bulldozer xav.
Kuv xav tsis thoob tias nws yuav zoo li cas yog tias Octane lub nraub qaum yog 6/4 titanium ib yam nkaus thiab tsis yog 3/2.5, vim tias cov chainstay yog qhov tseem ceeb rau kev hloov hluav taws xob zoo. Txawm li cas los xij, tej zaum nws yog kev lag luam zoo siab, vim tias yog tias muaj ib yam uas Octane yog, nws yog du.
Txhua yam hauv cov khoom xyaw
Nyob ntawm txoj kev Chris King freehub suab zoo li cov miv purring nyob rau hauv pem hauv ntej ntawm Aga, thiab lub aero-tuned Enve rims ib feem ntawm huab cua zoo li velvet curtains. Hauv pem teb, Sram's AXS whirs tam sim ntawd zoo li chav ua noj ntawm cov neeg hlau me me ua haujlwm ua haujlwm zoo, thaum lub voluminous thiab supple Vittoria log tsheb fizz zoo li spilled champagne. Cobbles, scarred tarmac, potholes thiab txawm ib co gravel raug xa los ntawm Octane nrog yooj yim.
Cov khoom xav tau qib qib pab tab sis kuv tau caij cov no ua ntej ntawm lwm lub tsheb kauj vab thiab, thaum lawv zoo heev, Octane frameset khi lawv ua ke nyob rau hauv ib txoj kev uas zoo li lub tsheb kauj vab tau tsim los ua homogeneous. system as opposed to ua ib tug series ntawm tej yam zoo bolted ua ke.
Puas zais 6/4 tubing? Zoo, qhov ntawd yuav tsum muaj ib yam dab tsi ua nrog nws, raws li Octane sawv tsawg kawg yog lub taub hau yog tias tsis yog lub xub pwg nyom tshaj lwm yam 3/2.5 lub tsheb kauj vab titanium kuv tau caij (rau cov ntaub ntawv, Moots titanium tsheb kauj vab yog 3/2.5 thiab zoo heev). Yog li vim li cas, yog li ntawd, tsis yog lwm lub tsheb kauj vab titanium ua los ntawm seamless 6/4 tubing?
Cov lus teb, hais tias Beresford, yog tias 6/4 tubing nyuaj ua haujlwm. Titanium alloy yog cov khoom siv tawv heev uas tau txais kev nyuaj dua thaum tshav kub ua rau lub sijhawm ua haujlwm. Qhov no ua rau muaj kev hnav khaub ncaws ntau dua thiab siv sijhawm ntau dua (koj yuav tsum siv lub tshuab titanium ntawm qeeb qeeb kom tsis txhob muaj cua sov ntau dhau, piv txwv li), uas ua rau tus nqi nce ntxiv.
Nws yog vim li cas, nws hais tias, yog 6/4 tshwm sim txhua qhov nws zoo li cov hlua khi (qhov twg cov ntawv hlau tau dov thiab welded raws nws qhov ntev), uas yooj yim dua ua. Tab sis kom txuag tau cov hlab ntsha yuav tsum muaj cov phab ntsa nyias heev, thiab cov hlab ntsha seam-welded tsis tuaj yeem yooj yim butted ntawm qhov kawg. Nrog xws li cov phab ntsa nyias nws yooj yim rau kev cuam tshuam cov khoom uas muaj cua sov ntau dhau thaum tsim khoom, uas tuaj yeem ua rau tsis ua hauj lwm hauv kab.
Lub Octane's drawn tubes (seamless) yog butted, muab cov thicker xaus rau weld thaum thinning mus rau 0.5mm phab ntsa tuab nyob rau hauv nruab nrab kom txuag tau qhov hnyav.
Qhov ntawd muaj qhov zoo ntxiv rau hauv txoj kab uas hla ntawm lub raj rau Octane tau ua rau 4 hli dav dua - thiaj li tawv dua - dua li qhov xav tau. Yog li kev siv seamless 6/4 raj tag nrho los rau kev lag luam.
Nws yog qhov nthuav, yog li ntawd, Vaaru tau them tus nqi sib tw. Pheej yig dua titanium thav duab muaj nyob, tab sis yog tias koj tab tom sib piv cov npe saum toj kawg nkaus - ib qib uas Vaaru belongs - £ 3, 100 rau ib lub thav duab stacks nyiam. Thiab Vaaru tsis tau tsuas yog ua 'zoo' titanium tsheb kauj vab. Muaj kev vam meej ntawm no uas qhia tau tias nws tau mus ntxiv mais. Tsis tsawg yog xim.
Hav, zoo saib '
Raws li ib tus phooj ywg tau pom, cov xim 'zoo li tus ncej los ntawm 1930s New York lub txhab nyiaj', zoo li tig marble tau muab tso rau hauv cov hlau polished thiab offset nrog satin-tiav bands. Nws yog ib qho kev kos duab, thiab tus kws kos duab yog FatCreations.
Tab sis tshwj tsis yog tias koj nyob hauv chaw nres tsheb hauv Port Talbot thiab koj tsaug zog nrhiav Banksy pleev xim rau ntawm koj sab, ua haujlwm ntawm kos duab tsis pub dawb, thiab cov xim pleev xim no yuav raug nqi koj £ 750 ntxiv rau £ 405 rau cov khoom sib xws.
Nqi tab sis sib cav tsim nyog, thiab qhov ntawd suav nrog £ 80 ntawm qhov yuav tsum yog lub raj mis zoo nkauj tshaj plaws hauv ntiaj teb. Txawm li cas los xij, txawm hais tias cov xim yog ib qho indulgence, nws yuav tsum tsis txhob cuam tshuam los ntawm qee cov ntsiab lus ntse.
Sab saum toj Vaaru muaj kev cai-machined spacers yog li cov kab ib-thooj segue zoo huv si rau hauv lub taub hau raj. Hoses khiav unfussily mus rau hauv thav duab thiab diav rawg thiab, ua tsaug rau ib tug chunky T47 hauv qab bracket, lub rear hose nkag mus rau hauv lub down tube thiab rov tshwm sim ntawm sab laug chainstay, as opposed to tuaj awkwardly tawm ntawm tus ncej thiab nyob rau hauv lub BB, raws li per ntau titanium tsheb kauj vab. Lwm qhov yog zais qhov muag rau cov av nkos thiab, qhov zoo tshaj plaws, tshem tawm txog li 32 hli log tsheb.
Qhov kawg taw tes no yeej kaw qhov kev cog lus. Ua kom haum cov roj hmab dav dav, lossis nqaim me ntsis tab sis nrog cov av nkos, nqa tag nrho qhov tshiab rau txhua lub tsheb kauj vab, tsuav yog tus ncej tuaj yeem tiv taus.
Thiab qhov ntawd yog qhov tseem ceeb, vim tias muaj cov tsheb kauj vab sab saum toj kawg nkaus rau hauv cov roj hmab roj hmab yuav haum tab sis kuv yuav tau rov qab caij rau txhua yam tab sis txoj kev hauv huab cua zoo. Tab sis ua titanium thiab yog li ntawd muaj zog heev, nrog rau cov log tsheb zoo lub Octane tuaj yeem muaj kev zoo siab mus rau hauv qhov chaw pob zeb yog tias xav tau thiab yuav luag rau ntawm txoj kev qab ntsev thiab lub caij ntuj no los nag.
Tsis muaj qhov no yog hais tias Octane 64 yog lub tsheb kauj vab pob zeb lossis lub caij ntuj no hack. Nws tsis yog. Tab sis nws yog ib tug zoo refined mais-muncher, xis rau ib tug tee thiab tiag tiag racy. Nws yog ib lub tsheb kauj vab uas yuav muaj txiaj ntsig zoo rau kev caij tsheb hauv 10 xyoo raws li nws yog thaum koj thawj zaug tsoo ib ceg. Txawm tsis muaj xim.
