Have you got a spare 21.5 in v20 chainstay that you need a new home for?

I'm impressed... 62kph ... that's awesome. I have no idea how you do it.

I have just been looking at what the latest crit riders are riding. Sram 52/10 for sprinting. I have nag at the back of my head. I have some pbs that I still have not cracked from 2016 when I had a rotor 54t Q ring and 165mm shimano cranks. I am 5kilos over weight and 11 seconds off that...

Yep... I can understand your concern. I check this , every ride.

I love the Vendetta... I regard it as a race horse on steroids. Here's the thing. As usual it's a tradeoff. Engineering is a science of compromise. If you have the money , you can go for a Rolls Royce Solution. Is it worth flashing the cash and buy a sram Eagle axs cassette or stick with...

Anyone can enter but you need a doctors certificate to say that you are up for it. That hill climb looks almost impossible. How on earth do you train for something like that?

Maybe we get an interesting race report to read?

Emmm time to get those oversocks I think! So is it a v20c... it looks like the old model?

Congrats to all those taking part. Must have been stinking hot.

I got a softbag for trains but sure wouldn't want to put it on a flight. Maybe , if you encased it in bubble wrap and wrapped it, it could work. You can't go wrong with a carbon hardcase like the one @LarryOz uses.

No kidding, but when you get in the 9% it's more important to practice being mobile , balance, low c of g and active. That's what cruzbikes give. I spent an hour last night researching innersoles. It's a very personal subject. Some people spend over $100 for a pair. I think it depends on the...

Nice little project

I have just completed an update. Just like @Frito Bandito , I am running force axs drivechain. But unlike frito I was using a shimano ultegra 11 speed rear deuralleur with the xshifter and it was OK with 12 gears but the pully system was too shallow so anytime you wanted power the chain would...

I am going to replace the brake cables pretty soon , I also want to swap out the brake levers as it was only a proof of concept. Sram do some pretty good aero tt brake levers that could be a good buy. The disk brake pads ought to be swapped out for something better too. The heat this year is...

Hi @Tor Hovland , here are the photos. I am thinking about getting the medium sized chainstay as i have a large , which is too horizontal for me with hills. I think the optimum is something in between. The cranks are 155mm. I'm a bit adventurous with the brake cables but I check for fraying...

I remember trying those nostril openers and thought it would be a good try on a recumbent... not. Good way of swallowing insects very quickly. Full face faring is the only way. Something like a welders eye protector would be good

Sorry Tor, I've been out for a month. I get my hands on the V next week. Photos Monday

I use an x-shifter with a 12 gear configuration and got rid of the brifters and front deuralleur. If you go for this try to buy an extra battery as its pretty useful on a long ride

Go 12 speed... lose the brifters... get some aerobars and attach brake levers. Try to go electronic with blip switches for gear up and gear down and you will be so fast and light.

A v20 with a thor seat can be adapted to be at 30 degrees ... I remember seeing a post somewhere on this site
