Robin S: blade depth on Oval Fork
Hey Robin - in your fit pic, I see you're running a new Oval fork (great build, by the way). I'm very interested in getting one of these; can you tell me the measurement of blade depth around the braking surface? How did you find the handling of this in the earlier part of the day in AZ? Any sketchiness in crosswinds?
Hope things are well. I have a few items to send you by PM, by the way.

Ok I will measure and get back to you here.
The handling is great with the mavic cosmics. No problems.
Big problems when I used a HED H3. medium to high speed wobbles. I assume related to the tall frame.
Careful with using Oval Concepts parts. When I built my Zinn bike three years ago, Oval Concepts was its own company. Now owned by Fuji and/or others I believe. So the stem and base bar have been discontinued. The way I have the stem and aero extensions set up, I have to use an Oral Concepts stem only with its integrated cap. So I can not get replacement parts and I can not get a different stem. I am out of luck if my cockpit breaks or if I want a different angle stem.
I guess this is not an issue for the older fork I have regarding compatibility though. Note the brake does mount on the back. I stuck the fork on the titanium round tubed doubly travel coupled frame. By the by, Todd Kenyon guesses that I would only gain two minutes, per ironman, with a aero tubed frame.
And you're preaching to the choir on round tubes: I would love to get couplers on my Indy Fab.
8 cm exactly at the brake pad surface.
