After every test we dismantle the whole bike to clean and grease it. Because it is a completely new prototype, we check every part to avoid any surprises and also to have a good understanding of the behaviour of each part.
So everytime we dismantle the bike we inspect the critical parts searching for small cracks. We also measure those parts that are subject to wear, to keep a record of their durability, in that way we can learn which will be their lifetime. So far we haven’t found any serious problem and everything is working better than we expected.
Taking advantage that the bike is now completely disassembled, we took one of those typical photos showing all the parts that form the bike. You will find a bigger one in our Flickr gallery.
If everything goes well, and the weather respect us (the weather forecast is giving a high probability of rain) next Tuesday we will train again in Valencia.
So I think I am going to finish this post right now because we must assembly the bike again! 🙂
