    knees and hills

    Eh? Your knees must be really fragile... 130mm that must be a record? Any smaller anyone?

    2022 Vendetta V20c with carbon fiber front end

    Curious.. how much are they thru the Dutch reseller after tax? I was tempted but I won't buy until Larry has put his thoughts on paper about it in detail. Climbing ability, Drag aero capability... And whatever.

    2022 Vendetta V20c with carbon fiber front end

    Well I guess the full package is quite good value if you get a couple of zipp wheels thrown in?

    Affordable Power Meters

    That looks brilliant... I found going up hills it was better to have my bottom bracket not so high so I put smaller chainstays on my V. Might not be so aero but better up hill.

    Aero Helmet Visors

    That's because you are so fast. It's surprising how much stuff is in the air

    Aero Helmet Visors

    I widened the vent holes marginally. More at the back of the helmet to let the hot air escape ... works much better.

    Sebring 12/24 is on for 2022!

    Hey Jim, you usually try the new kit at seebring. Did you try out the new vendetta? I would like to see your race report. Pipped by 8 seconds ... very irritating but at that performance not much in it.

    Tips for Pedaling at Faster Speeds

    Fortunately I have never experienced a speed wobble on my vendetta. I wonder if anyone has. I heard the best way out of a speed wobble on a normal bike is either to pedal faster or have your leg pressed hard against the frame. Either way sounds scarey. Make sure your wheels are balanced helps...

    How to make your Vendetta as fast as possible

    It's happened to me enough to fix it easy, just as long as it's not dark or raining. It helps to have zip ties holding the forks together on the non drive side.

    How to make your Vendetta as fast as possible

    Yes... rear wheel. LOL A few years back I tried that and the forks parted and my chainring fell to the ground. The only way around it to push a shoe box underneath the boom and hope it doesn't move

    How to make your Vendetta as fast as possible

    There is that inteligent hub that's been designed with internal gearing, why not ditch the derailleur and just have that. https://classified-cycling.cc/how-it-works I suspect though , the hub size would not be compatible with the v20 ... didn't look into it. Perhaps the new vendetta would be...

    How to make your Vendetta as fast as possible

    It would make sense if you moved the derailleur above the wheel and put an aero cover over the top part of the wheel, which would then cover partially the derailleur. Practicality 0 as the hanger would have to move but gains... huge. (Derailleur would have to be redesigned too)

    My Very First Recumbent is a V20

    Xshifter can give you 12,13,14 gears off one chainring for about $150 + chainring and 12 spd chain... allows the boom to be freely adjusted too. Guess it's poor man's solution but it works ... just as long as you don't want to use brifters.

    Outstanding prices

    Hello, just wondering if anyone else really hates buying cruzbike stuff due to the high prices. I just bought a boom clamp for the vendetta and had to pay total cost of €66.50 which in USA terms is probably $78 :(, that was after shipping and custom taxes. It's a joke. If there was a factory...
