The joys of finding your Garmin under the car seat after checking there twice is almost as good as holding off the df group chasing you never mind it was only one rider. Two wheels right. ;)

Opinion. Warning contentious issue... What is the point of going tubeless if you carry or insert a tube. It’s messy and it’s benefits for high pressure road tyres are dubious . Apart from ride quality I see no game changer advantage. Sure some increased flat protection but if you really need...

fingers crossed double. I read the weight weenie post. Very illuminating thanks. Good grief I’m holding on to my 10 speeds and hold special the 9 speed . It’s now up there with quick release skewers. 8 nm holding the b link in place.....bump. At least the pressfit of the existing dropout is...

I’ve run both road and mtb rear mechs on vendetta. Sram xo long cage 10 speed and ultegra 6800 11 speed. The drop out is frame specific. To my knowledge but I’ve not seen latest framesets. V20 2016 and V2 2014 same style dropouts with v20 better press fit into frame. Perhaps try contacting...

Great advice Ed. I think it applies to all experienced or not. If you’re not regularly bi monthly at least riding distance then it’s sensible to build back up on plan. after covid a lot of us lost opportunities to ride at all. nothing worse than upchuck at a checkpoint. Or injury.

Go don go. Yeah you get ripped off on conversion. But it will fly. Bonus is you’ll never sell it .

Are you able to remove any more chain links without compromising the efficacy of big ring what does it look like big big . Can you try remove the direct mount bracket at all ?

Regarding mileage.....Someone once said to me. What you can do week after week month after month over two years you can do weekly totals in a day. Unless you’re larry riding thousands each week. Lol. Cutoff for normal is 400 klm. essentially that turned out to be true. Consensus work harder do...

That sounds wrong vossi. Is the drop out bent or can be reversed.? Maybe upload a picture. Not seen the rear mech before so.....maybe that fit direct mount to frame is not an option after all for frames with a drop out hanger. just had a look online shimano site. Says a “without bracket spec...

Azub max 26” full suspension recumbent off road. About as close to a mtb in recumbent terms as you will get. Even then single trail is difficult as you lose much body english tied down to a bent seat.

I reckon mentally zoning in a distance event is the reason to ride. It’s great. I love it and though I’ve done nothing for years now I’m getting back to it in retirement. It’s never boring. Strangely even the night riding is not boring to me. Lol I must have a low threshold except for the kickr...

Ride at least 300 klm per week. Ride at 60% of your ftp during the event . Buy that trainer and power meters. go light go fast carry the minimum possible. Practice practice practice. eat what you normally do when on course. Real food. Find out about your gut is it sensitive or cast iron...

bmx bandit

Is theft an issue in Japan. I would have thought not but I guess theft is temptation for all weak willed evil desperate sad people . If I brought my bike inside the house my sweetheart would not approve. She is house proud.....I’m bike proud....into the man cave I go.......

Woh crazy stuff .... my immediate thought was mini moke. Looks like you could ride on the moon. well done joy on following through and making a versatile bike ready for the bmx track. ;) Yes the mech is in close proximity to the ground but in use it has never been an issue for me. Just watch...

@LarryOz you should start a museum thread. See what is out there. my vendetta v2 is signed by John Tolhurst. It is retired now . Once it hung in my workplace foyer then the workplace workshop. Till that workplace made me redundant........

woh a vendetta in a bedroom with bars on the windows. Futon glory.

lol fossil status is assured if you tick two of the below. 1. the very day you notice a saliva dribble at the corner of your mouth much to late. 2. mention twice in one day your health concerns 3. don’t ride your cruzbike for a week 4. ride your cruzbike and feel sore the next day 5. fail...

yes. And it’s June 18. All this waiting..... Bugger. You have been unceremoniously skewered. Twice. sending calm soothing stuff from downunda your way. you’ve got to smile lest you cry in anger. May your skewer grow longer.

don’t forget to break the bead on those tyres too. Cruzbike museum......really Lol fossils everywhere rejoice.
