Thanks for all the replies. For those of you with hydraulic brakes on a V20c, which make/model of brake are you using?

I have my V20 set up with mechanical TT brakes as shown in the photo. For the V20c I'm building, I'd like to stay with TT brakes, but I want them hydraulic. AFAIK, the only option is the TRP Hydro HD-T910 and 912. The tubes for the TRP brakes go through the bars. The bars on my V20 don't have a...

Why install a viscoset? Is the V20c prone to death wobble?

What’s the recommendation for tires? I’ve been riding Conti 5000 tubeless for the past four years, and the only time I got a puncture that wouldn’t seal was when I didn’t have enough sealant in the tire. But I’m wondering if something tougher is better. Also, should I carry a spare tire?

Thanks for starting this thread Larry. A friend of mine did the qualifying rides for PBP 2019 but wasn’t able to register because the event is oversubscribed. So I’m going to do a grand randonee this year to get priority registration. Current thinking is Endless Flat hosted by Northern...

I think a GCN-style YouTube video comparing the time around a road circuit on a V20c vs a racing road bike or a TT bike would be good.

That was a fun race. I thought LD was going to win it. Hawk was sticking to us like glue until that gap opened at the end.

Each team member took a turn for 1 or 2 laps.

What is the weight of the V20c vs V20 (front + rear)?

How do they get down to 30t with 110 BCD?

@Jim Parker can you provide a recommendation for a 2X spider that will fit these cranks and that will support chainrings smaller than 50/34?

When I switched from 172.5 down to 145, I compensated by switching the cassette from 36t up to 42t. That works well.

In the “without race cage” condition, what was behind the seat?

These drop bars are 25.4mm: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B08Y19FJMG?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_title

Here's my (overdue) race report: Training: I did two double centuries as part of my training. The first was the Best of the Bay DC on Oct 7, and it was a hot one. This ride goes up Mt Diablo, then through inland parts of the Bay Area that get quite hot. I got behind on my hydration, and it...
