But I have to give this thread its due, this thread historically has always been peaceful, frequented by people who respect one another. A little dust up now and then but nothing huge. Virtually self-moderated. I’m only here for many years because I like it here, not because I have to monitor it.

Yeah, I got a Wheels BB, too - I also have a 24mm spindle, so prolly the same one. It's well made, it fit the shell nicely and it's quiet as a vol(e). Not concerned in the least.
Since I got my R3 as a frameset, I obviously got a good look at it. Scary light and crazy thin in places, but the exposed innards - BB area and HT - were all tidy.
And yeah, I've seen that same video on that aero model. That stop looks like a really weird decision - most companies simply rely on the handle smashing in to the top tube.

Is that Cervelo code for the Wheels Mfg. adapter?

I'm guessing that that is Cervelo's in-house BB. The Wheels Manufacturing one is BBRight-Out-1 or something like that.

Didn't watch the whole video but got the gist of it.
If you're going fast enough that you would disintegrate a wheel and the bars turned that far, I'd say you're already having a bad enough time that recovery is not possible.

Jeez, new thread and I can't even being to keep up.
I did the zwift twice this week so far and caught the April Fool's 80's theme. Later found out it pissed off a bunch of people because the "unusable" graphics gave them a headache. Geez.
Wearing masks and gloves at work now. That's fun. Thinking I will rock the neck gaiter and maybe even use it at the grocery store. Nowhere near N95 protection, but it's something.
Dallas County just extended stay-at-home orders until April 20th. I imagine Denton might soon follow suit. That will effectively cancel school for the year for my wife and daughter as the last day on the original calendar was April 21st.
Ok, now to go back and catch up.

Also, bike weenies need groupsets so they can be OCD about matching everything.

As I was out for a walk for booze and bread, the general reluctance to be in close proximity to others made me think of Best Picture Academy Award Winner "Demolition Man," with Sly, Sandra and Wesley. My teenage mind distinctly remembers the virtual intercourse with a computer intermediary, and I want to say that physical contact in general was shunned. Anyway, it got me to wonderin' how much effect the current situation would have on shows of affection in the future. Will things like hugs and handshakes go away? Or will people just be far more selective with them? Hmmmmm.

They totally redesigned the STI levers. Changed the crank design to allow more clearance for tires which required an update to FD geometry -- the chainrings are 2.5 mm farther from the frame than before. Stuff like that.

In other consumerism news: I simplified a bit by selling off two guitars I was not playing (Only three of my others get any real play) and finally took the Schott jacket plunge. I have been considering buying my first real leather non-motorcycle jacket. You know, the thing I plan on wearing until I'm dead. Schott sent out an email coupon presumably to drum up business during what is a pretty devastating situation in their part of the world.
I bought the P673 in brown. It's glorious. I sized snug, so there will be some break in. It's soft enough, but extremely thick. It fits comfortably, but will need to stretch slightly in a few spots and I am also still on the downward trend in weight so we will meet somewhere in the middle on stretch vs. trimming myself down.
