We are now in a position to offer the new Long Distance Pumping Virage. For delivery in April.
http://octanesport.co.uk/VirageLDP.htmlWe have been testing the Slalom Virages with spacers to get added width and sets have covered remarkable distances over variable terrain for the last month or so. Over 80 miles in a day on the Ultraskate under the feet of James Peters of Paved Wave (the equivalent of 1200 slalom courses!
http://pavedwave.myfastforum.org/ and regular 13 mile commutes.
The LDP versions feature a 60/30 front 3" grade 8 kingpin. The rear is 5mm taller than the slalom version and 10 degrees less angled.
The hangers have been extended so with longer axles there is even more strength, and testing has shown that regular, off the shelf M8 socket bolts are perfectly adequate for riders who want to save a little cost, but not compromise performance too much.
Hangers are fully compatible with the Slalom versions. Mix and match.
