Ridley Noah Fast
Postby bardygrub » Sun Dec 09, 2012 7:06 am
Have recently been looking on the net at what i would like to have as my next bike if i was to win lotto. I have to say that the Noah Fast is one of the best looking bikes i have ever seen. And find the new brakes and fork design to be something very interesting.
Does anyone have or seen one in the fleash?

I cant get the directly behind view on the 360?usernameforme wrote:They look pretty cool, however the brake cable routing looks a bit odd, it comes out practically perpendicular to the frame... If you look at it directly from behind you'll know what I mean

A normal brake for comparison:
Notice how the brake cable "sticks out" much more on the FAST?

Good question It was much more noticeable on the shop bike because they had the front brake routed to the right lever, producing a sort of S with the cable. I personally think that for an aero bike the cable routing on the brakes is a failMarkG wrote:Who's gonna even notice that when the rider is on the bike.

I say that the aero frames aren't as light as "lightweight" frames because aero frames are (generally) in the low 1000s whilst "lighweight" frames are coming in at below 800g... I don't see how it takes rocket science to work out that "lightweight" frames will be lighter...

He also has a 15 year old son apparently, even though he is also 15.MarkG wrote:Where does such a newbie come up with all these theories.. from rims, to hubs, to spokes to brake cables, and even Aero. Not having a go at you, just amazed that someone who only recently knew very little about wheels now seems to have definitive stand points all on things bike..

ok, thanks for that ,what colour was it?. Will have to jump on the scale while holding my Dale. Have never bothered finding out how much it weighs.usernameforme wrote:I was at the LBS today, and they put a small sized Noah FAST (equipped with 2013 Red and Fulcrum Racing 1) on the scale, it weighed in at 6.6kg, so its clearly not THAT porky...
Cheers again.

Well, perhaps a different fork for the brakes.

@Howzat, I think the FM098 is a Venge copy
