I think there's a 55 mph in my bike with the right location and wind. and a set of these

Hmm, that got me thinking

Could be :p I want to try and beat the course record, I'm just 3 minutes off.

A lot of MTB's these days have around a 44 tooth large front sprocket, so a 52 will be worth it, having said that I fail to see how it is going to save any battery consumption? I've just ordered a 16T rear sprocket, I've gone from 21T to 19T, which is OK, but feel a bigger gear could be even...

I like it :)

Just so that people don't get the wrong impression, the Lee in this race isn't the same one, our Lee is a lovely friendly guy.

Most are estimated I believe. Tejvan has given a quick write up of his day http://cyclinguphill.com/buxton-mountain-time-trial-2014/

Rider 2 and 3 are the ones from the photos, so the finest time trialists in the land.

Well I guess the answer is easily, at least on the uphill section.

This one is a hilly one, so some sections should favour an e-bike. Still a lot of very fast downhill sections too. http://app.strava.com/segments/1191137?filter=overall

I spotted a couple on two Scott (I think) Bosch hybrid bikes mixing it with the time trial bikes on Friday. It got me wondering if it would be possible to beat a time trialist? This is the winning rider of the day. and for a bit of contrast, second placed man and lap record holder.

Thank you :) my friend has a 4-bike steel rack and it is flipping heavy. I see this one is a more reasonable 13 kg, given in the description for the black version.

Oh right. Well is it made from alloy steel or alloy aluminium then? is that better ? :rolleyes:

Is the Wilco rack made from alloy or steel?

I wonder what the owners of these bikes do with them instead? perhaps they've taken onboard the comments about knives and turned them into some sort of lethal killing machines. ...

Yes I've removed mine to clean out the cover. It is just a tight fit, it took me a while to get it off as I didn't want to damage anything. It sits on a larger diameter area than the threads I seem to remember, an octagon section.

Me too, because that centre bit wobbles as well, even when the chainring is on tightly.

Mine's just the same. There are times when it feels fine non handed, and other times I daren't risk it.

This should help.

No you read it correctly the first time. So if the bike has gearing for 32 mph, I want it to assist me up to that, a bike that works with me all of the time if I choose to want it to. Not some overpowered rocket ship that flies up hills and then becomes a slug at 15.5 mph.
