Eric, Checkout how I mounted Eric, Checkout how I mounted my Bent-Up Aerobag in this video: ?https://www.dropbox.com/s/826wkko57s...2014.49.45.mp4 I made two little internal frame bars out of flat stock 1" wide aluminum and then used electrical clamps (stainless steel band with rubber...

I can vouch for the favorable I can vouch for the favorable move from dropbars to bullhorns on my V. I started with dropbars, halfway thru last season switched to bullhorns and really like them a lot better. I'm not sure what I would have thought of the bullhorns when first learning to...

Ok, so we've seen the new pic Ok, so we've seen the new pic on FB. Beautiful! Questions about the new design: 1. Has anything changed around the BB and rear chainstay clamps to provide more clearance for a smaller BCD inner ring? 2. Regarding the steering...

Hey! I just noticed, that Hey! I just noticed, that tire looks mighty big. Is that a 26" wheel??

I have mine mounted like this I have mine mounted like this on my Vendetta. It has worked well.

I log-in everyday to see if the V 2.0 has been announced. But alas, nothing. How long Mr T? How long? ;-)

David,    The thing about David, The thing about the Vendetta is that it needs the BB to have outer BB bearing cups for the chainstays to clamp onto. Does Schlumpf have outer BB cups?

Jim, thanks for the advice. Jim, thanks for the advice. I'll keep practicing down to 5mph. Might have to give up eating cookies at the controle points. :-) And get myself a PowerTap!

Mick, I agree to a point. But Mick, I agree to a point. But actually the V has turned out better than I thought for rando rides. I'm very comfortable for the long haul, and actually I've thought the V might be a more comfortable bike for me on long hauls because it spreads my weight out on my...

Randy, Re: slow speed Randy, Re: slow speed climbing. Yeah, I realize it's practice practice practice. However, I think I reach that point where I can't keep my cadence RPM high enough and the slow mashing starts pulling the steering all over. I find that if I concentrate really hard it's...

Randy, Yeah, I realize the Randy, Yeah, I realize the Silvio would be a step down. But I think it's more a step down like moving from a Lamborghini to a more practical Mercedes AMG performance sedan. :-) I'm going to try the Shimano Ultegra triple. Hopefully the 30t vs 34t inner will...

Charles, AFAIK, the smallest Charles, AFAIK, the smallest is a 30t via the Shimano Ultegra/Dura-Ace 130/92 BCD triple cranksets. And with that, the 30t inner ring has tabs that hang down below the bolt holes to prevent chain-suck if it were to derail around the BB. To use with the Vendetta...

Excellent!    Thanks for Excellent! Thanks for the confirmation.

Hi! To those that have experience with both Silvio and Vendetta, how much slower is the Silvio when climbing normal hills, rollers, etc? I ride a Vendetta now with a compact double and 11-36 rear cassette. But I'm finding that there are still some really big long (small mountain-like)...

Hi! I can't seem to find this answer anywhere. Can a Silvio accept a standard 130/74 BCD triple crankset? Note that the Ultegra triple that Cruzbike sells is a 130/92 BCD (the inner granny has a bigger BCD, and thus doesn't go any lower than 30t). But I want to be able to put...
