What pulley wheel system is that?

Tavelo, is that you?
Speaking of which, my Tavelo Arow frameset just arrived an hour ago.
Standby for pics…
The stiffness sounds great!
I will await to see what Speeder says. Thank you. But I’m not good at this “write for quotation” - just write the price and let me order it directly!
I'm 190cm and went from a 44 to a 35... Even have my hoods turned in a little. I descend and sprint in the drops. Using a 130mm stem. =)
For a big unit like yourself, I think you'll appreciate the stiffness of the speeder.
If you want to contact Yishun or Lightcarbon I can dm you the email address I've corresponded with previously.
Anecdotally, I'm 184 and relatively wide shoulders. I'm now on 36 bars and I love it, you can't beat physics so it's just faster. It took my shoulders probably 6 weeks to adapt. For sprinting it's weird, other than that it's fine. A 100 stem feels so much better than 80 when out of the saddle, must be trigonometry.
But if you want free speed, I wouldn't worry too much about 37 bars.
Also, BMC now ships 36 bars with all their expensive bike, afaik.
yeah that's correct, the narrowest point at the hoods will be 370 and widest will be 420 at the drops. but the widest point is at the end where you don't even use. i was thinking of chopping my personal set down about 15mm on the ends.
just a happy customer man. i use them on my personal bike and they're on all the yishun race bikes we bought and they've been great, so it's hard for me to say anything negative about them! well they are heavier than some bars by about 50g, but i guess that's the tradeoff for stiff and heavy duty.
just don't forget to use my code at checkout for 10% off... just kidding haha
I got it with one of the Yishun frames (it's the yishun err 'version', aka same handlebar, whether it's same mold or same production idk). I was planning to use the speeder bars all along (which you could also consider if you like a more flared bar), so opted to get this frame with the hb058/hbr12 to replace the alu rose 36cm bars on my partner's bike, but I just never got around to it, so they're just collecting dust.
IIRC the price is something like USD60 or something and shipping will be similar to that worldwide.
I'd say the speeder bars seem more 'beefy' that the hb058 . Seem stiffer in hand and the top aerofoil-ish section is wider. Not sure if that's a good or bad thing, but so far I've loved the speeder bar and all the yishun frames we have are fantastic. We have a whole junior team racing on them, so I'd say the same quality would be true for the handlebars.
Hopefully that helps.

At the international courier meet ups, everyone wanted to trade for De Gronne Bode (spelling/grammar?) Copenhagen neon green Tuborg jerseys.
ETA checked out Principia's website-their carbon frames seem to be a decade or so behind current trends.
I've got a spare unused one in 36cm you can have if you want
Is Principia still in business so you can represent? Loved their aluminum frames in the 90s.
You are racing in Denmark, why does it need to be light?
