    The long cable thing doesn't go through your frame?

    You're using a crappy cable lock?

    You've got no gears?

    You've got and aero rim with a million spokes in?

    It would appear to go through the rear triangle.
    Stumped...... :oops:
    None of the above should be taken seriously, and certainly not personally.

    Well, both pedals are off the ground. So it's not that...

    The valve stem is in the wrong position. It should be vertical, at the top or (preferably) bottom of the wheel.

    We have a winner.....fecking rim tape split in the rim and a spoke pierced the tube, must have happened just as I pulled up....noticed the flat at lunch.

    As for the other comments; the cable runs from the U lock through both wheels and the frame. yes, someone nicked my bartape, it was yo' mamma :-)

    your qr handle thingy on the front is pointing forward where it should be pointing back

    (this might be a mudcow thing though)

    where is the valve on the rear wheel?

    I'm going for the brake lever - looks mighty odd.

    It's so he can slow down and ogle the girls and not suffer pedal strike on corners :roll:

    I was told to always do this on my MTB. If you snag something it could undo your quick release if it's not facing backwards.

    Fat and fast, y'see......Not really an aero rim, it weighs about as much as the frame and fork do.

    Being heavy doesn't stop it from being aerodynamic.
    If it is aerodynamic, rather than just looking like it is aerodynamic. I mean, I could draw a car which looks like an F1 car but I doubt it would create much downforce whilst keeping drag to a minimum.

    Or you might get a fluke and produce something ground breaking.
