Hello,
Today was the big day: my Snoek is now finalized. And I have to say that I am very enthousiastic about it.
Here is a short summary about what has been optimized and developped by velomobiel.nl during the past weeks :
- The naca duct on the nose to enable more ventilation and to integrate the front light. It is made in a way that you can easily take about the front light (when have a race for instance). I have installed a IQ X, but a Lupine SL fits as well (if it fits your budget).
- The rear light: it is a really simple, functional system: 2 blinkers on each side of a tube, combined with the handle bar on which the rear lamp is mounted (changing intensity when braking). The weight of the complete system : 39 g. When you have a race, you can easily dismount it.
- The trap under : it is now attached with velcros instead of screws. Allert has shaped small bulges to give a bit more space for the heel.
Once those enhancements had been completed, my Snoek was sent to the car painter and was spray painted with Green Kawasaki color.
This morning, once completely set up we measure its weight with the following components :
- Rear light, front light, blinkers, horn, battery
- Continental Contact speed 28-406 with latex tube
- Alexrim DA16 (heavy rims)
- Continental GP5000LT 25-622 tube less
- DT Swiss 460db
- Ventisit
- elbow holders
- 2 mirrors
Total weight 21.800 kg !
Adding the race cap : 22.960 kg
In race configuration, with the lights, horn, battery, with light wheels, light tires and tubes, I can reduce the weight by 1250 g which would bring it weight down to 21.710 kg with the racecap!
Here are a few pictures.
Soon, I will make a paragraph about the maintenance friendly aspect of it.
With kind regards
Clément
