Visibility Flags

Okay I finally got my flag mounted on my S30. It's a 6mm mount, which I now recommend getting the 1/4th, as they use the same poles, and just sand down one end to fit. So no weight savings here. I bought the 7/8ths and shimmed it with one wrap of cloth handlebar tape. MountSmall.jpgFlagSmall.jpg FlagSmall.jpgMountSmall.jpg FlagSmall.jpg

Ok, after having ridden to work a number of times with the flag, (23 miles each way) I was wondering if the drag from it affected my commute time, so I rode the route without it, and the answer is a resounding no. On a downhill segment run of 1mile, I was 8 seconds faster without the flag... for a commute those kind of savings are easily eaten up by missing a traffic light.
