The squeeze tool is pretty cool, but the need to break the chain every time I get a front flat makes me queasy. I know I am late to the party, so please excuse my small rant about my Vendetta. Rant mode "on." I find it inexcusable that my RD can be moved several mm in either direction merely...

That's a long cable! :)

Went out for about an hour today. I got a late start, and it is inferno-hot hereabouts. Progressing. The intersections are still a crapshoot. The center water bottle holder needs to be removed. The bottle jams into my torso, and my thighs are rubbing the cage. On a positive note, the bike went...

Well, I got the opportunity to take a ride in the daylight today. I only rode for about 30 minutes, as the goal was really just to practice my riding technique. I was able to ride without much drama, except at intersections and other places where people could observe. It seemed each time I tried...

Just like many things, opinions vary. The bottle holder aspect is it strongest selling point (IMHO). I have used other rear bottle holders and they are infinitely better (again, my opinion) than the under-seat holders. As for bladders, many of us don't like them.

trplay does make it appear easy in his video. However, I might point out the pad was not on the bike. This would make the sliding in and off much easier. No pad for me - not so much! It is a work in progress.

I changed the title instead of starting another thread. The Vendetta TT, (the last one sold I am told) will now be an eclectic mix of SRAM Red brifters, M5 brakes, Dura Ace Cranks, Force Fr Der, and X0 rear derailleur. Of note also are the Reynolds carbon wheels and power tap hub. Ok, so I have...

Thanks for all the replies. I will set it up and expect the best.

OK, someone please elucidate my dumb... It appears a strand of housing is looped around the BB, inserted through a hole and held in place by the tension of the fr derailleur. The absence of stops et al., does not appeal to my bike mech alter ego. So is that the way it is installed? Usual...

I have a set of those bags - I may rethink selling them... I do not have a 3 foot pole stinking out of the back of any of my bikes. Are you able to tap into the cable-car power source? :)

Is the extension a quill type or clamp?

I have a contact that does bags for recumbents. If I could get a few hi-rez shots, I could run it by them.

Is this something available commercially or was it a local creation?

Very nice. A close up and words of explanation would be a great add to this thread. :)

I like iMovie, but it can be a little like an Easter egg hunt to do things that should be more intuitive.

My night time front wheel light.

Interesting. Do you need a different fork w/longer steerer tube? Does it work on a V2?

What is a stem extension?

Has anyone ever used twisters on a Silvio/Vendetta? I have a nice XO set of which I am very fond. Probably relegated to the used part drawer...

Dang. Looks like the hydraulic system on a John Deere. ;)
