    Tubes or tubeless

    Unfortunately I guess, I check my tires before I go out for the correct pressure. The sealant had dried out. One of the issues with the hot climate.

    v20 Seat padding

    Hot as hell, sums it up. Yes I have a yoga mat, it's kinder to my back and clothes and gives me some great speed. I have had thoughts of scooping out a channel in the middle but think it would look like a hatchet job so have just left it as is. The ventisit pad is unbeatable in the summer as I...

    Full face helmet ideas needed

    It leaves everyone speechless but works well unless it's too cold and then it fogs up. I've been told that shaving foam works well to keep the condensation away. Aliexpress special... not sure about the plastic if you were in a smash not sure how it reacts but it keeps all the insects off me in...

    Cheap disc wheels $45 very very light.

    I bought an aluminium rim and a 350 dt suisse hub (which is supposed to be for mountain biking) but if I am going to cover it with monokote then no one knows. I decided to try a tubular tyre that I can pump up to 170psi... not sure how the rim will stand at that pressure but i should get a...

    To V20c as a lifelong DF roadie

    I cannot possible conceive of doing 70kph at 120 rpm. LOL. I don't even last for long doing 44kph at 120. But I am in the throws of upgrading the engine.

    Little tweaks

    So there were complications with the wheel change... I moved over to an xdr cassette with a 12 speed sram force cassette with the lowest sprocket being a 10t. However the chain would snag between the fork and cassette and jam tight. So my friend has a workshop. We got a 1mm piece of alluminium...

    Little tweaks

    In the last few months I have been caught up with cassette compatibility issues. The local bike shop , good as they are, can't quite build up wheels as well as the manufacturer. I bought a cheap 12 speed ryet cassette which sort of worked with the xshifter and flat top sram force chain ...

    New V20c

    Oh wow... I see the front brake cable has been rather well hidden. Is the front fork hollow or does it just run down the hidden side of the fork? Looks incredibly beautiful!

    To V20c as a lifelong DF roadie

    Whenever I deck a vendetta the boom takes a shock as does the handlebar. If the repair isn't toughened enough , it won't be the handlebars that take the knock but yer leg. Why not wear some kevlar shorts if you like going fast?

    To V20c as a lifelong DF roadie

    Hey, really sorry to hear you can't ride road bikes again. I'm 62 and just about to reach a personal best... so don't get too concerned that you are over the hill. V20c is a great bike. It depends where your.weakness is in your back. If you have neck issues... you might want to swap out the...

    Apple Mini ipad probably fits better than anything else

    V20C - Prototype

    I think the stiffness will give it some greater potential for sure... my hunch is that you will have over a 3 watt advantage
