Whoops 2 - Sled Edge is born
Today Ben, Ken & I spent a day working on the 2 halves of fairing #2, which will be used as the bike for our attempt on the hour record. This fairing is a mixture of carbon, Klegecell foam & S glass. Day one saw us lay the first skin & foam ( in 2 separate processes). We hope to add the 2nd layer of cloth (the sandwich layer) tomorrow, and begin the joining process early next week. On the left you can see the back left section of the fairing with the carbon fibre laid in (at a 45 degre angle to make the curves fill easier).
As this is to be a Trisled bike, Ben has chosen to honour it's creator, Matt Weaver, and has chosen the name Sled Edge. There will be a large number of innovations in this bike. Stay tuned for pics & info soon. We are hoping for the first ride in less than 2 weeks. Here's hoping. Bye for now.
