Hey Laron, I’ve been putting together a new carbon‑fiber bike frame that should shave off a few seconds from your sprint times, thought you’d want a look before you try to beat your record.
Laron
Great, just bring it in when you’re ready. I’m not about fancy hype—give me the specs, the weight, the aero data, and let’s hit the track. If it drops a couple of seconds, we’ll make a new record. If not, we’ll figure out why it’s still lagging. No excuses, just results.
Lastik
Sure thing, Laron. Here’s the quick rundown: frame is carbon‑fiber, 5.2 kilograms, drop tube angle 70.5 degrees, tube taper 1.3, aero profile 12.4 square meters at 90 km/h, zero flex in the main chainstay. All welded, tested on a dyno; drag coefficient 0.24. No fluff, just data. Bring the track, bring the brakes. We'll see if it cuts a couple of seconds or we tweak the headset. No excuses.
Laron
Sounds solid, but I’m not buying it until I feel the frame in my hands. Bring it in, we’ll drop it into the bike, run a full test, check the flex under load, and then see if those numbers translate to the track. I want more than a 0.24 C‑D— I want the sprint times to drop, the acceleration to hit the peak, and the handling to feel rock‑solid. If it’s not there, we’ll tweak the headset, the camber, the torque arm—no excuses, just results. Let's do it.
Lastik
Got it, Laron. I’ll bring the frame tomorrow, mount it right on the bike, run the bench test, drop a 40‑kg load to check flex, then jump onto the track for a sprint run. We’ll log the times and tweak the headset, camber, torque arm if we’re off by more than a tenth of a second. No excuses, just data and work. Let's see if the numbers hold up.
Laron
Alright, bring it in tomorrow. I’m not looking for excuses, just data and results. Test it, run the sprint, log every time. If it doesn’t drop even a tenth, we’ll tweak it—headset, camber, torque arm, or the whole thing. Let’s get to it.Bring it in tomorrow. I don’t want empty promises—just raw data and results. Test the frame, run the sprint, log everything. If it’s off even a tenth, we tweak—headset, camber, torque arm, or the whole setup. Let’s cut the waste and hit the numbers.
