RR.. They do not make a brake side in the Pro Taper. I run one of these on both my bikes and could not be happier.

Great Job Branden! Sounds great!...What sprocket sizes are you using? Seems like you have more top end with lower RPM than mine but your acceleration seems really good. I'm using 17 front, 48 rear.

Splendid!

brandEn · « **Reply #561 on:** June 12, 2013, 04:27:29 PM »

Thanks guys. This bike is so fun to run through the gears. The sprockets are 17 and 48.

Awesome vid! I run with 17/48 too. Seems to stretch that power band a little.

brandEn · « **Reply #563 on:** June 12, 2013, 05:28:46 PM »

Yea it seems to be the perfect all around combo, good acceleration from a stop and solid cruising rpm's on the slab.

Great video. Are you making an effort to keep your head from moving or is this just the way it turned out? I want to get a GoPro with the helmet mount but I wasn't sure how bumpy it would look on the video. Yours looks great.

Thanks, my adrenaline gets going every time I watch it. That was a good run.
Part deux coming soon.

Another great clip. I really dig the sound of your bike.

As promised, here is the debut of "The Sunset Sprint" part deux
Not as cool as part one but sequels never are.

I am using my new Pearstone Lavalier mic and am very pleased with the sound quality. Much better than my cheap $5 Sony knock off.

TAO doing "The Sunset Sprint" part deux

It is worth it if only to close your eyes and enjoy the sound...

Doctor_D · « **Reply #572 on:** June 17, 2013, 10:58:30 AM »

Audio is much improved. You'll have to school me on riding vid's next time we're in the same place.

flybox1 · « **Reply #573 on:** June 17, 2013, 11:26:36 AM »

good sound.
The chesty mount gauge view is the money shot.

brandEn · « **Reply #574 on:** June 17, 2013, 04:57:27 PM »

Thanks guys. David I am still figuring things out but I would be happy to show you my setup and how I use it.

I like the chest mount as well. Just need to figure out a way to get the camera higher and remain stable. I bought a long extension but the camera bounces like crazy.
