I am not so sure. If it was pink then they could call it lady penelope. Then the name Parker would give it even more meaning.

Emmm mix and match... xshifter can adjust your derailleur to even use 14 gears given the chance, without a network of cables or brifters.

I got rid of the Brifters and the FD. I use a x-shifter that I had to wait absolutely years for off kickstarter.... if you can source an xshifter ... try and get a spare battery... its worth having one to put in your pocket on a ride as it freezes in an impossible gear when running out of power.

Nope... not an option. I think the sram flat top chain is superior in strength and in aerodynamics. To get that 50kph everything goes

I wonder if I could buy the v20c frameset without the seat for €500 less? Then just use the carbon seat from the V20. It looks as though it's the right shape.

Point taken... can't keep a good man down.

Why not keep it and put it on a trainer? Does your doctor fear that you will fall off it or is it just the tension you have on that sensitive part of your back? If it wasn't for the vendetta I would have a pot belly and my knees would be sore all the time. With the extra weight I would be...

Good... but it a little forgiving go for the 650b with big tyres and a thor seat. If you want it for speed and being super cool stay with stock. I have a disc brake up front and a rear rim brake which works very well

I have a v20... it eats roads for not many watts... I am 60+ and prefer to spin and prefer less drag so it doesnt kill my knees. If you do trails... try the s40... with disc brakes you can get 650b wheels with big tyres that give you better suspension. My V flies but is a bone shaker on rough ground

Well Hi Tribe, To spin well, or not to spin well that is the question? Do you think it helps to spend $300 on a cassette if it makes you break all your PBs? I have a 12 speed shimano cassette and it works until I want to push more than 300 watts on t11,t12,t13 and t14 sprockets. I get chain...

You put the zip tie on the non drive side... However , I find if you slip the chain off the chainring then there is hardly any tension to pull the hanger out so I don't bother.

More details please

Wednesday has been and gone... any story of glory?

Vosadrian, you are modest... I looked at that monstrous v20 ride.... you are a legend. Kudos

Really sorry to hear all those issues. Make sure you wash that sealant off quick... if it dries out hard , it's a nightmare to get off the frame.

The weather has finally turned to the better. I ventured out today on a longer run. I had planned to try to get to the top of a steep hill today and bomb down from the top. I haven't done this ride for a long time and it always makes me overboil. Today , I got half way up the hill and found out...

Not sure, there is a legend called Jason who absolutely adores steep mountain downhills. He regularly does double centuries and probably agrees with the saying no pain no gain. Let see if he chimes in

I am curious, what made you change your mind?

For me the new bike seems expensive. If I was the guy that wants the win win chicken dinner then its a no brainer. I think if I had this bike it would only be ridden in competitions and put in its travel case the rest of the time. My latest build is the fastest. 12 speed , 1 deuralleur , no...
