Not sure it looks inspiring - but Stromm writers are saying all the right words:
Actually sounds pretty interesting. Not possible until recent UCI rule changes/eliminations.
And at $3,400 -- sadly -- it's fairly price competitive.
Luckily, it doesn't look as kooky as the latest idea in mtb!
My back hurts just looking at the Stromm
Here is one of my track bikes in my collection.
Max chainring size 70t??
sorry Stromm way too small for me
This is standard for track bikes. I mean the capacity. They usually use 60 something to 17t sprocket. Just the other day a track guy was explaining that to me but of course I forgot all the details. He mentioned something about keeping the chain straighter hence the bigger sprocket but don’t quote me on this.
We know - and they use smaller cranks so shorter lever arm
He was being ironic, in a "none of us who can take a flyer on the Kickstarter have 20yo-break-55mph-on-the-flat legs any more" way.
