Update. Still holding up well. Reshrink once.

it’s just sitting free. On the first trial wheel I cut the donut radially as it was wider and interlaced it within spokes. No glue. The monokote seems to adhere fine enough to the donut with just its own adhesive. The second carbon I made the donut smaller and it conformed with the heat...

No I wouldn’t glue your spokes. Too messy no need. The monokote ends up drum tight and is flat against most of the spoke excepting the near rim edge. Even if you did not cement the milk carton. The monokote adheres to the milk carton donut well so far. You can flick the monokote and it does...

Just looked at strava 2018 12 plus 12 on a trike catrike 700. 96 klm I did extra 807 m ascent 29.8 klm per hour 3 hr 14 min. vendetta 2018 12 hour 31.7 klm per hour 147 watts 2942 m ascent 310 klm 9 hour 47 minutes. Along straight 189 watts 50 klm per hour. so you will smash me. We shall see...

I think I should point out that an enve wheel is more expensive than $45 but given the aptitude of any Cruzbike pilot it’s not necessary.

Lol vossi good to hear. Past tense on the 270 watts last tested um five years ago. So there is that. 67 kg you’ll smoke me. Or you better. I’m six one 81 kg 59 year old starting to feel it old. but hey when will you ride with another vendetta right. Paceline. Heck no I’m dangerous. Like 53...

Onto the the second wheel an enve 24 spoke carbon rim 60 mm with brake rim. I ran no rear brake on test wheel lol. I will survive. Step 1 clean rim and kiss gently. step 2. Make a donut x 2 to add support at hub from your smartest plastic milk containers. Step 3 cut sections of bear tape...

I saw the u tube video by catrike and the flaming eyeball with his training wheel monokote treatment to render up a cheap disc wheel. Previously I had experimented with abs plastic achieving a 1.5 klm per hour reward for both wheels. But I wanted a semi permanent vendetta rear solid option...

You will and can push the same power numbers. Took me a year riding 300 plus a week. Ftp 270. keep at it. Comfort is speed when you blur your vision on shite roads you lose power. I’m telling you to cut down an old inner tube and put it in the headrest sock . You will kick yourself when you do...

v2. Blue front rear suspension. Congratulations now ride that bike. Love mine. Gets along on the flats around 26 klm per hour cruising. That is with marathon plus tyres at 30 psi. The maxxis detonators at 100 psi were no faster. 2” big apples were slightly faster and weigh less than maratnon...

Look forward to your review

Well done Craig. Into the pantheon of vendetta glory.

hmm well downunda is not Ohio. so I’m guessing you’re about to enter the church to nick the collection plate and silver. another great bit of kit “ da brim”

lol Mathew great idea. Economic mastery. Though you could have turned them inside out. ;) And to think I was going to cut eyeholes........ I’d never wear me undies on my face unless they were edible......Must be dual purpose lol. Gives a new slant to the suntanned helmet head . Given the...

lol maybe just maybe you were set up by a fellow randonneur. The same one who injected antiseptic following trump advice. Seriously now your video presentation is excellent and inspirational. May I suggest using a “buff” . To me they are a piece of kit that fulfills more than one roll. Neck...

Well done. On a previous hydration iteration I used a drill to hole the top of the bidon and stuck my old mtb bite tube dip tube through. Make it small enough to be friction tight and it stays put. Simple. But I wanted more room on the bike and aero. Hence the brain bag mod.

how much heavier is the s40 frameset compared to the vendetta frameset in reality ? It is always difficult not adding a kitchen sink aerator if you have room. discipline. Risk v reward. 1200 audax. One tube anyone. Not me but lots do. Envying then their detachment from “what if and nice to...

I’ve descended at 100 klm per hour plus a few times. Once over 80 it’s hang on don’t hit any rough please. It’s trust. I would not do that in gusty conditions. Lack of belief , and trust. Getting blown onto the wrong side of the road is frightening. Trust ......pretty nuts really when you do...

Huge effort. Thoroughly enjoyed thanks very much. hi horse who me. All this sand and no ocean. :) how far did you trudge I doubt even in the wet sand bigger tyres would have helped. road looked so good from google earth. Been there.

Ohhhh she who must be obeyed took a new slant. Dinner now. And if you’re lucky you’ll get to be a lap seat.
