    Vosadrian's V20 Journey - Australia

    david my point is as you said. More spokes is good for little weight gain making a more reliable wheel. I personally at my weight would not fit a 16 spoke wheel to vendetta rear . I could not trust 16 spokes.

    pair the dynamo with a Bausch muller iqx dyno light. 100 lux. Brilliant beam pattern heaps of light. The biggest criticism of bottle dyno is the operating noise. Personally I have grown used to it’s comforting whir. Purchased a second velogical. Lighting only. 1.5 watt. The axa hr 3 watt is...

    or fit a bottle side wall dynamo. I have both dyno son hub velogical dyno and axa hr. They all have advantages and disadvantages. For light fast travel I vote velogical. No dyno can keep you off the grid forever. Power banks especially the lithium polymer can have super fast recharge with a...

    Vossi at 70 kg you must be a shorter person ? a small body is a major major windage advantage as evidenced by cruzbike wind tunnel test. Larry v Jim. Small guys are fast at higher speeds negating the mechanical advantage of longer limbs. That’s what Randy Newman sang about right. ;) However...

    I think it’s up to 10 cents now. I have loved my abc but as I’ve aged I bemoan the falling standards of oratory prowess. And I’m a dumb plumber and electrician. I guess it may have something to do with as an example my triple j days being replaced with radio national and news radio. In that...
