Just to put more pressure on, this pm I did a 22.3 mile blast in 1hr 1min 29secs giving an average speed of 21.8mph over the 22.3 miles on the Venge. Average heart rate of 161 beats/min and a maximum of 197 beats/min. Average cadence of 95rpm and max of 109rpm. I was disappointed as I was attempting to beat the 1hr mark. Never mind at least it leaves the target intact for another attempt.

Can I ask you a Dura Ace Di2 question, I can, thanks!
I recently fitted a new chain to my Felt with Full DA Di2 set-up (I've been experimenting with various chains), according to the Di2 literature when the chain is fitted and in the Big chain ring / smallest sprocket (53 /11 in my case) the jockey wheels should be at a right angle to the ground (http://bike.shimano.com/media/techd...70/SI-5X20A-003-ENG_v1_m56577569830696756.pdf) This puts the chain about 1" shorter than is determined by the usual methods for calculating length. This is what I'm running with and it seems ok but when I'm up near the largest couple of sprockets the jockey wheels do look to be at a fairly extreme angle, though you do still get an "S" shape through the wheels. I'm thinking your set-up looks fairly similar, do you know what chain length you're running and do you get a right angle in that combination as per Shimano's guidance? Advice is a bit lacking out there with Di2 at the moment so any opinions welcome, Cheers.

Hi Carbon.
I'm not certain what chain length I'm running in that picture, I will check and confirm what I was running for you as soon as possible, but its likely you will have to wait until the weekend due to other commitments
the setup has changed since that picture as I'm now running a Q-rotor setup, spin unobtainium billet cassette and a different chain.

lol VamP..... I like to think im fast, but then again, I am easily deluded.
I only got the bike because it makes me smile, no other reason. I love riding it.
It feels faster than the other bike though.
