    @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.

    2023 6-12-24 WTTC Borrego Springs

    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...

    Cross-Training Bent & Upright - Better, Worse, or Neutral?

    I find my DF useful for V20 training for two reasons. The first is that it is generally easier to make a little more power when riding against resistance like a hill or the wind. Compared to the V20, riding my DF is like riding into a constant headwind. So I end up working a little harder on the...

    25.4mm to 31.8mm shim

    Anyone know where I can get a long shim to mount 25.4mm bars on a V20? Looks like the shim would need to be 63.5mm long.

    Goggles

    Those look good and probably work great in warmer weather, but I'm looking for something that will block cold air when I'm moving fast. Even the shield on my Giro Vanquish won't do that because my head is back.

    Goggles

    My vision cleared in 4 hours with no lasting effects, thanks. Another nice thing about the Kroops Boogie googles is that the rim is very thin. So even with my head back on the V20, the lower part of the rim doesn't interfere with my view. That's not the case with safety goggles that I tried...

    Goggles

    There have been a number of threads about glasses, googles, face shields, etc. I had corneal edema in my left eye at the WTTC in Borrego Springs. It was caused by the cold air overnight. Since them I've been trying different goggles and face shields. The one I found works best is Kroops Boogie...

    Riding low recline angles w/prescription lenses

    I use multi-focal contact lenses so I can see near for my computer that is on the bars and far for hazards. Then I use whatever sunglasses or shield I want.

    6-12-24 World Time Trial Championship

    Larry, it is a non-drafting event. Racers are required to keep at minimum 10m distance. The individuals in the groups I encountered were probably 10m or more apart, but with 3-6 of them and some on the left-hand-side of the lane as well as the right-hand-side, it was difficult to pass. I often...

    6-12-24 World Time Trial Championship

    2022 6-12-24 World Time Trial Championship race report I’m a relative newbie to ultras. My first race was the 6-hour at the 6-12-24 World Time Trial Championship in Borrego Springs in 2019. I followed that up with the 12-hour in 2021, and the 12-hour at Bike Sebring earlier this year. To...
