However, have you ever contemplated the question of how you would instal a motor in a downtube that has an oval or elipse-shaped hole in the downtube, rather than a neat round hole? Would you cut a hole somewhere else and have it refinished by a carbon specialist? Or get Trek to build a motor in? Or mess about with wheel magnets etc? It's clearly not an easy matter and I just don't see how it is practicable. It's not enough to say that is naive to think it's impossible. Those who propound the practicality should say how it was done.
If they can't do this against Cancellara (or anyone else who may be in question) they should shut up. The Belgian girl's outfit was a piece of cake to understand compared with this problem.
Yikes, 1999 all over again. Those who say Lance dopes should say how he is doping or shut up.
Let me help you as to how this works.
If we were talking about a road bike with a conventional frame I have no problems in seeing how it is possible.
You (and prior to that someone else) says Cancellara was using a motor.
I ask how that could be - how would you fit one in his particular bike?
You can't say but still believe you are right despite having no knowledge on this so you invoke the USPS meme.
You can't answer or you would do so. Therefore I don't believe you know and you are the naive one, not me.
Best to live in the world of practicalities rather than dogma.
