How close to the course from stand (31/08/2009)

 Please see this picture. Do you know how far from stand to course at Motegi, because there are oval course between them?


 And this guy was available, but I didn't see him. Where is car number LOS?

I set up stem (30/08/2009)

 This Shimano Pro product is good. Especially narrow shape is better for my KG281.

 I compared with Stevens in handle point of view. Because Scorpo Handle bar is good to handle down part. I like straight shape for this part. May be, I will change handle bar of KG281 to the Ritchy or Shimano Pro product.

Circuit van Drenthe  (29/08/2009)





 I drove to the Assen to look Velta A Espania. So I saw 3 gran tours in this year. Of course I had to drive about 700km. I was surprised. Because there was traffic jam at exit of motor way when I left Assen to back to Hamburg. So they came to there only look Velta.

 And also I was surprised that stand is near by course compared with other race course. Because Assen is used only motor cycle racing. Therefore it doesn't have large safety area.

 I went for bike shop in Groningen. There is one big bike store. They have a lot of part of Shimano, Campagnolo and Sram. I bought stem of Shimano Pro product.

Just now (28/08/2009)
 I know that Velta will start from Assen in Netherlands. Therefore you asked me about Hotel in Netherland.

By the way (27/08/2009)
 I've got new create when I bought new bike with new pedal. But I'm using create since I bought this Time RXS pedal system still now. And I brought spare create from Japan. So I have 2 spare now. And first create has enough notch still now. May be, I will not change create by changing pedal system.

Shimanoglo Part 5 Shimano Chain ring for 09 Ergopower and front dirailer (26/08/2009)

 So I changed total shift lever and derailer to the Campagnolo. I had to correct stroke range to wider than fine correction like a Shimano. Because Ergo Power need some of stroke to reach full of notches.

 I can change front shift as normal. It's better than to use 78 Dura Ace front derailer. may be spring of 78 Dura Ace is stronger than Campagnolo. In performance point of view. not only 79 Dura Ace but also 78, 77 Dura Ace and Even 105 is better than Campagnolo. Because the width of front derailer wing is narrower than Shimano. It means Campagnolo required to the customer to use trim function. May be they have to be narrow wing to the good shift performance even Shimano doesn't need these wing width.

Chain guard (25/08/2009)
 I'm setting up now for both of bikes. I have to re adjustment of front derailer So rose wire tension is goof for 79 Dura Ace. usually I pull wire by pliers when I fix shift wire, but it's better to pull by my hand with rose tension. High tension and wide stroke is better for 09 model Super Record.

 After setting up of 79 Dura Ace, I set up 09 Super Record. Then I felt that 79 Dura Ace is great. Otherwise, Super Record is not good even these high price.

Shimanoglo part 4 Control Campagnolo rear derailer by 09 model Ergo Power with Shimano 10s gear casset (24/08/2009)


 I didn't check with actual ride at part3. I checked only with bike trainer. I don't check any more for these configuration.

 So I bought also 09 model Campagnolo Super record rear derailer. Because gear pitch of Shimano 10s and it of Campagnolo 11 s almost same. I thought it's possible to control only limit additional 1 speed stroke.

 At first I set up chain length with Campagnolo procedure. I had to add 1 link set compare with Shimano procedure. And I set up derailer stroke and wire with Shimano procedure. It's not succeed. Sometimes derailer doesn't change position. It looks shift stroke is not enough.

 Then I change top stroke set up as Campagnolo procedure. But it's not helpful result was same as before.


 I thought I had to change wire fixing position to change stroke ratio. Finally I succeed with this picture fixing position. I only turned mounting part 180 degree, and fixed wire like this. Then every gear synchronised perfectly. And it's not good when I turned part and use same fixing position on the part. Then derailer moved with additional stroke.

 So it's very easy. The combination of Campagnolo 11 s Ergo Power and rear derailer can possible to use Shimano 10 s wheel with simple modification. Of course gear shift feeling is Shimano performance, because the gear cassette and chain is Shimano.

Shimanoglo Part 3 Control rear derailer of 78 Dura Ace by 09 model Ergo Power (23/08/2009)
 I think a lot of people interest in this part. I checked if it was possible to control Shimano 10s rear derailer by 09 model 11s Ergo Power. At first, I didn't change stroke of derailer from old set up. I could control Shimano rear derailer without problem. Actually derailer move extra stroke when I changed gear position. But gear there was not any problem. May be, it's better to change wire fixing position to get more correct derailer stroke. And also it's better to fix wire with rode tension.

Bike guard (22/08/2009)

 I'm using this shaft when I have to transport my bike without car. Because bike is not strong for force from side when wheels are removed. Therefore I put dummy shaft on the bike. I bought this dummy shaft at Tokyu Hands. And also it's good to avoid to loss quick shaft, because I use quick shaft to fix this dummy shaft.

I've caught cold.あ〜 (22/08/2009)
 Because temperature difference was tough in Brussels. out of room was 37 degree, but the lab was 20 degree to keep good condition for scientific apparatus.

Shimanoglo Part 2 Control 78 Dura Ace front derailer by 09 ErgoPower (22/08/2009)

 I checked to possibility to control 78 DuraAce front derailer by 09 model Ergo Power.The set up procedure was done by Shimano procedure. And I didn't change any set up from old pure 78 Dura Ace set up. Result was not good. I couldn't use final notch of 09 ErgoPower. So I changed Outer part stroke roughly 0.5mm. Then I could control front derailer well.

 I need more finger power compare with pure 78 DuraAce set up. May be, lever length is not same between Shimano and Campagnolo, And Shimano is using strong spring in the front derailer. Of course, I set up wire to put oil and grease.

Shimanoglo Part 1 Brake check (21/08/2009)

 I bought some of parts of Campagnolo Super Record. I found reasonable price in German web shop. It's Euro 300. So It cheaper than Japanese price. The reason of selection of Super Record are it's longing part for biker and I can't believe Italian Job for cheap product. Please do your own risk, if you interested in my result.


 As Part 1, I changed only left side brake bracket from 78 DuraAce to 09 model Super Record. So I checked only brake function. And also I can compare with difference of both bracket as brake function simply.

 Result was normal. I can use this brake bracket with 78 DuraAce brake caliper. But I felt brake touch is not good compare with 78 DuraAce. I felt it's spongy feeling. So I like brake feeling of 78 Dura Ace for hard braking at mountain area.

Cyclassics (17/08/2009)

 I saw cyclassics at 500m point which is front of Hamburg city hall. I saw race by my eye. So I take picture without to look finder.


 Tom Boonen


 Fummy finished in the second group.

Bracket (17/08/2009)
 A lot of person thinks it's not possible to use head handle position with 79 DuraAce. It's not true. The head position is available, because 79 DuraAce has one dip on the front of brake lever. I can use this dip. And also 09 model ErgoPower has same style dip. Therefore Shimano and Campagnolo has same direction for brake bracket.


 Now, one strange bike is available in my flat. I'm using Look KG281 as experimental tools.

Crash (16/08/2009)
 It's first time crash in Hamburg. After 70km point, there was ambulance car, because already one guy crashed. One rider who run front of me, speed down to look this guy. And he speed down more even we passed crashed guy. I could speed own, but other guy who ride back of me, couldn't speed down. Therefore he pushed me suddenly, and I crashed.

 Only my elbow scratched, but I couldn't stand immediately. Because I stretched my legs by this crash, and it cause cramps everywhere of my legs. After then I fight with this cramp during rest 30km ride. Finally I finished as 3 hour 36 minutes. It includes 15 minutes stop.

Skill Shimano is not available at Holiday Inn (15/08/2009)
 At once, I went for front of city hall, and went for Holiday Inn. Shimano was not available, but it's expectedness.

 Because, now the parking place, which is neighbour of Saturn, is re constructing. Usually some of teams which is neighbour of German area for example Telecom, Gerolschteiner, CSC, Rabobank Lotto and QuickStep, use this parking. And other teams use Holiday Inn. But these 6 teams can't use neighbour of start area. Therefore they use Holiday Inn and some of Continental teams are kicked out.

 Director of Buig Telecom asked me where is VattenFall office. Because mistook spel of street as "Strabe" I suggested it's "Strasse not strabe". He said "No Arashiro". Ah so. And also mechanic of Team Astana said "No Contadool and No Lance. Lance participates in MTB race in the USA today".


 It's same bike as my new bike. But it uses other direction seat cramp. Is difference size of bike? And it's too high saddle position. My seat post is hidden at "N" of stevens.


 This bike is not explained in their brochure. This bike has same type seat tube as mine, and has latest brake trend as TT bikes.

Observation result (14/08/2009)
1)78 DuraAce
 Brake Caliper Pivot <-> Wire mount 66mm
 Vrake Caliper Pivot <-> Pad 38mm
 Bracket Pivot <-> Lever 80mm
 Bracket Pivot <-> Wire mount 24mm

2)79 DuraAce
 Brake Caliper Pivot <-> Wire mount 67mm
 Vrake Caliper Pivot <-> Pad 37mm
 Bracket Pivot <-> Lever 80mm
 Bracket Pivot <-> Wire mount 35mm (Actual lever length is 24mm?)

3)Super Record
 Bracket Pivot <-> Lever 95mm
 Bracket Pivot <-> Wire mount 24mm

This result means that 79 needs long lever pulling action compare with 78?

I handed (13/08/2009)

 it. I will play with this after cyclassics

Mail order (12/08/2009)
 I'm looking price of Campagnolo Super Record because I interest in new bracket. Especially German shop offers special price which is cheaper than UK shop. The price is roughly 60% of Japanese final market price even it includes 19% VAT. It means Japanese Campagnolo customer has been ripped off from importer. Will a lot of Campagnolo fanatic user in Japan use Campagnolo if the price is same as Europe? Because it looks that they are looking brand images.

 And is there any shop which sells only Campagnolo component in Japan even they said "Campagnolo is best"? So one shop in Hamburg sells only Campagnolo. Wolfgang bought new bike there. The reason to sell only Campagnolo is that Shimano can't do fine correction for front gear.

Erthquake (11/08/2009)
 I was taught from Martin when I went for office in the morning.

 I'm preparing to go for Brussels next week. It's business trip not holiday. Because I will have to have installation which are not any instruction manual. Sometimes, I have to take care these kind of special work at customer side.

 So, I'm thinking how to do instauration in my mind. Some guy said that it looks I'm sleeping when I'm thinking.

No mail from Japan (10/08/2009)
 We don't have summer holiday like head quarter in Japan. And also, there is very few mail from Europe. I can use my time to prepare my job.

I used conventional Open pro wheel for Stevens (09/08/2009)
 I think it's not clear comparison if I use other wheel, saddle and position each other. The result is that I couldn't find any strong difference. I felt strong difference when I compared with Look KG281 and Panasonic. Is KG281 great or is Panasonic soft strongness flame?

 By the way, my new bike is Stevens SLR Aero and I bought this bike at VonHact The price which is explained at shop web site is not correct. because the wheel is different. My bike is displayed in the shop as Euro 7800 with Campagnolo Super record and Bora wheel. But the price of frame is not expensive like current high end frame in Japan.


 Today, I tried compare two bike in front of my flat. I don't feel any position difference.The position is correct each other.


I found Hamburg Stadt Rad which means Hamburg city bike when I finished today's training.

For next weekend (08/08/2009)

 I maintained my bike. I changed chain and repair derailer etc,.


 I try to fix bike computer on the stem in new bike. I can hold the base of handle during high speed cruise.

Greg Lemnd (07/08/2009)
 has a lot of lead shot in his body. Therefore he couldn't pick out everyone.

 I went for motor cycle parts hop after the job. May be no other Japanese colleague goes for this shop, because nobody had motorcycle in German office. I bought brake cleaner in this shop. The price is too cheap compare with bike shop. And also quantity is too big. It's useful for me.

I tryed (06/08/2009)
 Good. Only left side is like recent my correct position. Then I change only right side bracket to rise up and insert spacer between handle and bracket to get good lever leach.

 In this time, I bought same pedal and saddle. Therefore I can focus on handle position. New 79 type Dura Ace has small bracket head size compare with 78 type. But it's possible to handle head, because one dip is available. I think 79 is normal evolution version from 78 type.

I cut seat pillar (05/08/2009)
 Because seat pillar reaches bottom end and conflicts with frame. It's easy to cut even carbon material. I fixed only left side bracket as upright position. I will compare with right side bracket which is fixed as conventional position.

 The size of this bike is good. The spacer is just 5mm when I fixed my best position. At the shop, they observe head tube size of KG281, and fixed correct bike size.

In the evening (04/08/2009)
 I did first new bike ride. Is it good? I couldn't direct comparison with KG281, because I used new wheel. Today, I focussed on to fix handle position. I found good tilt angle.

Traffic accident! (03/08/2009)
 Today, I drove car to the office. There was one traffic jam point neighbour of the office. I couldn't get speed because of traffic jam there. Then I saw one car stopped suddenly. It's car accident, because driver took off from car immediately.

 And I drove about 100m. I tried to change to right lane. There was one clear lane, thus I change lane to the right. But there was other car accident. Then I change to left lane. There was another car accident. So totally 3 car accident were available during 200m drive. Fortunately, I was not captured by car accident traffic jam.

 I talked this issue to the one German optical colleague Markus. Then he said to me "I never ride bike with you"

By the way (02/08/2009)
 First page of the newspaper was "Schmacher comeback to F1". Kimi Likonenn participated in Finland Rally. But he retired with course out.


 What is this?

 I've got it. It comes same day as new bike. Thus, I could use it in the Paris. This combination, silver body and silver zoom objective lens, is not sold in Japan. I got special price offer. It's first time to buy camera without check.

 And there was other reason. I got information that my patent was registered and I got special money of it. So, it's first time to register my patent.

 I prefer this camera as one of best removable objective lens digital camera. Of course, I will use DSLR for races and use Caplio during cycling.

I compare new bike and KG281 (01/08/2009)

 That's normal road bike. there is not any strange characteristic. and also new 79 DuraAce component is normal racing component.


 My favourite objective of picture.
