    I love the idea of having a Zipp wheel on the front and having a wheel with a reflector on the back.

    Let's make a deal. I'll shut my mouth when you turn pro.

    Then they'll probably give you a bike that fits. Which in your case is probably a tricycle.

    I think he is not too far off?

    Anyway. OP you have a lot to learn so be humble.

    Your bike setup look so far off from comfortable riding. Aero only gets you so far. Comfort first.

    That said given the fact you thought that bolt was meant to take a screwdriver perhaps hand tools (and bike maintenance) aren't for you!
    Shut your mouth up right now. I've gotten it off
    Strange, I thought you were the one asking for help and also the one trying to use a screwdriver in what is clearly a Torx headed bolt, still well done for getting yourself off, teenagers all over the world manage that by the way while many may adults can cope with Torx bolts.

    If you look closely, you'll notice I put the bottle cage on upside down :/ Poor me trying to wrestle with a plastic bottle cage forcing my bottle unsuccessfully half way through a 65k ride

    This thread is fantastic. Next, you'll be asking how to tell if your tyres are on inside out.

    Which begs the question 'How did you put the bottle in at the start of your ride?'

    Comedy gold.

    But Surely youd have noticed when you tried to put the bottle in the cage. Most of us do this before we set out.
