Wheel Suck-Slacker
re: Peter Verdone Design
I dig originality and iconoclasm, but he kinda lost me at this. Actually, and I hate to be so critical of blog-level writing, but as an (ex-)academic this bluster without substance is pretty intolerable. There, I said it, hoping a little that I'm wrong and that there is genuine functionality added here....
I hate having to rescue the roadies but they aren’t capable of actually designing bikes....these de-couple the hand grips from the front wheel as traditional means limit geometry concepts

Am I right in understanding the point of this bar is to fit drop bars on a bike designed around flat bars?

Why do people feel the need to list all of their bikes in their signature?

No. It's for drop bars on gravel bikes.Originally Posted by dgaddis

with slack geo that begets high speed, why run the super pinner tires?

That's explained in the post.

Haven't checked your link but couldn't you have achieved the same thing by mouting the handlebar with a short rising stem ? Or design some kind of adapter to mount a downhill stem designed for a dual crown? I'm not sure I understand the need for that second tube on the handlebar as it doesn't seem to be used to support the hands.

How do you install or remove the brake levers?
