NoCom = 6 mph faster than Highwheeler

Depends on the race. The 800+ mile End To End record in the UK is set
by a Windcheetah (41 hrs 4 minutes).

No? Not even the fact that Neil Fleming is averaging 2mph faster than
any comparable bike in the BHPC series?

Just to go and spanner everything, however, Neil had what is often referred
to as a Bad Day at Eastway on Saturday. 20.9 mph average for ~45 minutes.
It didn't help that Young Master Robert decided to bring the Hachi out to
play and, in the absence of the Davies streamliners, won outright at ~25
mph. Eastway is Not Flat and the wind was distinctly evil - it alsmot had
me into the scenery on more than one occasion.

I'd not be at all averse to owning something shaped like a NoCom, but:

o when I sat on Neil's in Newport, it seemed not to agree with the shape of
my back at all, and
o I should like a tail fairing too, please

Peter, Peter,

Did you not note the opening post regarding "speed?"

Perhaps you shouldn't have read it?

Your assumptions are baseless.

Now Peter,

That is a stupid post. You're comparing a FULLY HARDSHELLED FAIRED hpv to a STOCK CLASS
one?

With your credentials, one might have thought you KNEW something?

Ed, Ed, did you not consider my post is a response to your fundamental
lack of social graces in more than a single post, or even a single thread?

Your assumptions are baseless.

And what assumptions might they be?

Pete.

Now Ed, you posted, with no context whatsoever, that "Trikes are not
competive vs. two wheeled lowracers", and my post was to demonstrate
that you require context if you want anyone to pay attention to what is
otherwise a sweeping generalisation.

With your credentials, one might have thought you KNEW something?

And what credentials might those be, and how have you demonstarted that
I don't know anything? Like I said, it "depends on the race". And so
it does. There are some races where a NoCom is very probably the best
you could have, and there are others where it isn't.
