    Amazing showing, I've been checking your updates almost hourly most of the day Gary! Thanks for your efforts on their behalf. Great work team! Way to go Larry and Ben! Way to suffer Maria! Way to play for the team Jim! And anyone else behind the scenes...truly impressive and inspiring!

    SRAM 11-speed 11-36 cassette for double chainrings?

    I can't keep up with Ratz on the knowledge but my LBS built my velocity deep v rims with DT Swiss hubs 370 (~5 yrs ago) they run on my commuter, I've had them rebuilt 1x and they have about 15K gritty wet Seattle miles on them. Still in good shape. Probably need a rebuild about now though.

    Bentaero, Thanks for the update! Love having the ability to keep tabs. Jim can't seem to catch a break - As a solo rider it would be so tough to flat like that in the event but as part of a team there is more to it...great work.

    SRAM 11-speed 11-36 cassette for double chainrings?

    Bob - she already knows "Bob from Minnesota" and has all sorts of associations to choose from. Lucky for you she's not tech-savvy and probably doesn't know how to look you up here...probably.

    Or maybe I'll just move to Redding CA, where Rick is, and always ride outside no matter what. :)

    Power meter for Vendetta

    Hadn't thought about that aspect - but yeah, that's definitely part of it. I'm thinking that trying to watch movies is just hard - maybe I'll try an audiobook.

    Power meter for Vendetta

    Larry - after yet another 90 min on the trainer last night TRYING to maintain a hard workout - I don't know how you do it. KICKR or whatever...it's just plain soul-sucking to ride a bike in place. When I was out 'racing' with TimTurner last weekend I was maintaining 280 watts for more than a...

    Cd*A testing the Giro Air Attack helmet

    Thanks Jim, I looked at his app (but distracted at the office) and couldn't figure it out quickly. With your example I should have enough "in place data" to provide context. Thanks.

    Cd*A testing the Giro Air Attack helmet

    Jim, For those of us that are Cd*A challenged - can I convert that .01 improvement in Cd*A into something like: * 5 seconds over 20KM or * 5 watts at 20mph

    New Vendetta V20

    another observation about your setup Abbott. I know you are using "scavenged parts" but with those cables coming out the side of the hoods - I'm surprised you don't have interference. For the next iteration (shifters/brifters) you might want to get internally routed cabling. It'll clean up the...

    Silvio S30 - chainstay extension?

    Yeah - I had it "up" during my last ride thinking that would make it more comfy - put it back down for this picture and the ride yesterday with TimTurner. We were seriously smoking around Snohomish yesterday. No inner-elbow pain, but it wasn't "endurance" riding either; hammer, regroup, repeat...

    Shine on you crazy diamond

    If it's red it ought not to mess with your night vision at all/much - I'm not an expert but astronomers use red-filtered lights to read maps etc so they can still see very faint objects.

    Shine on you crazy diamond

    you know what - the backscatter off of my legs on the Silvio 1.0 is far less than it would be on either V2.0, V20, or S30. I can see that being a problem on those bikes. Still thinking that a rider would benefit from having their body illuminated. I wonder if a small-ish light mounted on the...

    New Vendetta V20

    just a thought - You might consider relocating the rear brake to the top bosses - gives you more room for a frame pack in that space between the seat/rear triangle.

    New Vendetta V20

    NOW THERE is a Vendetta what fits ya! Looks great! Whenever you are ready I'll meet up and we'll get some dual-vendetta riding in. Awesome.

    Power meter for Vendetta

    Rick, My QRings are set on OCP3 - took me a while to figure out what was going on back when I first got these. My memory** was that it came set on 3, I moved it to 4, then moved back to 3. either that or... it came set on 2 and I moved it to 3 (and never moved it back). **when I married my...
