    Q ring upgrade - Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh......

    If your crank is small, no extra performance at all. I prefer to spin as to mash. And I suspect I've hurt someone's feelings about that. But better not to hurt the knees

    The Cadence Conversations

    I decided to go 12 speed with a 1x48t up front and a sram force 10/33 cassette. It gets me up the 5% and is ideal to flat and downhills without knee ache at the end of the day. I lose 2kilos as I don't use brifters or di2 or a front derailleur however the engine needs a work over before I can...

    v20 vs v20c, Front end feel.

    I couldn't say but technically it can have the thicker tyres and the axle thru bolts gives the v20c strength. I expect over the next couple of years more and more records will be broken. However, I got emotional over my v20. We have had a lot of experiences together. I don't think we will be parting

    Paris-Brest-Paris 2023?

    If you had a front boom saddle bag it would work as an aero fender but you wouldn't want it too bulge

    V20 for sale, North Carolina - $2999 OBO

    It's amazing how they hold their price. Mine still has PB's but I won't know if its a better bike unless I get a new v20c . LOL Is the V20C really that good ?

    V2 vs V20 - what are the differences?

    It's a speedfil F1 hydration unit. There was a post in one of the forum's with another rider who had a disc brake adaptor linked to this hydration unit, but I prefered to run it on the back of the seat. The way I mounted it was rubbish. It basically needs someone to produce a 3d adaptor so that...

    ChatGPT's poem about V20

    I would change steel to Alu and then you have a play with allure and aluminium ... then it would be perfect

    Gosh... almost thinking it would be best for 2 bikes on such a challenging randoneer.

    new to 'bents, question, knees...

    I have some sram rival cranks that I got cut down to 155 from 172. I haven't had a problem with them.

    My Very First Recumbent is a V20

    I'm going to chime in, LOL. You probably won't like what I am going to say but it's cheaper to renew the chain every year than to replace other parts more frequently.

    Little tweaks

    My discussion with Mr AI.... impressive i have had a problem with my front wheel on my bike... the carbon rim hit a pothole too hard and cracked the rim , i am probably going to use epoxy glue to repair the crack. I'm sorry to hear about the issue with your bike's front wheel. While epoxy...

    Little tweaks

    A problem with being so aero is you don't see the pot hole at 40kph. Fortunately the front tubeless gp5000 saved my bacon but the carbon rim is smashed. The wheel on the back is tubular with aluminium rim ... as intact as it ever was. I'm so cheesed off right now... as I don't have a suitable...

    ITT on my V20 vs my DF

    The most I like with the v20 is I don't ache so much after. LOL

    KOM Thieves :)

    Well, I like my bike setup. Just need to put covers on my rear wheel, lose the Xmas fat and eye up some KOMs , ideally away from the pro peloton routes. I did see a video last night of a racer cresting a carbon 68g mudguard... now if I enhanced that into a front aero guard then I am sure that...

    First ride

    Emmm you are always a kid on a cruzbike and even if you do fall , it's not like falling off a road bike. Just remember ... stay nice and slow at the beginning... figure eights. Welcome to the tribe.

    Piriformis issues?

    A number of us on vendettas have a foam support for the arch in our backs ... I guess on the Q45 , you have more weight on the hips. Maybe you need to fine tune it a little and see if the settings become more comfortable for you. Trouble is that sort of discomfort takes awhile to go before you...

    Record for V20C to take.

    Pretty sure you are talking about that giant .... it was a bit heavy. Just imagine a modern carbon composite frame with more aero front forks and a disc wheel at the back... phenomenal idea for some bike company wanting to sell bikes to win KOMs or to be a weekend warrior... certainly would make...
