That makes sense I guess w/RE to 11 sp support. Jeremy, Perhaps some 11sp cassettes are wider than others? All I can say is, my Vendetta II has an 11 sp Ultegra cassette with an SRAM Force derailer and the hub and all fit rather nicely. and...BTW...my Silvio 1.0 derailer hanger IS...

Maybe this is a question for JT? or JParker? I keep seeing people say that the Vendetta doesn't do 11 speed? But the Vendetta I have, set up by Jim or John? or maybe Robert? It has the 11speed SRAM Force cassette. It might need an adjustment here and there to hit the rings right but -...

ride your Vendetta there Rick, If you started now, on your new V...You could just make it by Sunday. GoogleMaps says 48 hours from Redding to Fort Stephens but we all know their bike directions don't take into account V-speed. So - I bet you could do it in 36. And pre-qualify for...

"We" Have one in Portland every year Rick, On Memorial Day weekend (I've been to 4 out of the last 5) in Portland there is a Human Powered Challenge weekend. Not sure how big it is compared to the MidWest Recumbent rally but we have a good time racing (i.e., timing ourselves) and drinking...

Looks like a ton of fun Ratz, I love the picture-description-story-style. I have two daughters, younger, that I hope to schlep bikes around for just as much as you have done this time. Nice job Dad! Lief

Q Ring Adjustment Check this post for adjustment discussion Larry. http://cruzbike.com/rotor-q-ring-not-suitable-recumbents (perhaps a poorly titled one?)

riding a non-mbb Rick, That reminds me - the first time I jumped on my old Lightning Thunderbolt (tiller steer - rwd) after putting about 12K miles on my Silvio it scared the crap outta me! I nearly wrecked the first time I applied power and only with herculean restraint was I able to...

The seat Rick, Beautiful. Which seat exactly is that? There are a lot listed on HostelShoppe

Yes, SRAM force 22 works Yes, SRAM force 22 works fine. I use it (with ultegra cassette and chain) on my Vendetta 2.0. Disc brakes tho? from what I read on this forum, it's possible but not a great idea unless/until a true 130mm disc hub comes out. Doug did it, Robert did it - but...

I'm too Apples to Oranges My comparison (Silvio 1.0 on Round rings to Vendetta II on QRings) is well...let's just say that any difference between the rings is overshadowed by a couple of other much more profound factors. I am having some unusual, for me, front knee pain - I've been blaming...

haha @Eric - I was monkeyng around with the picture (filters and such) and this particular arrangement seemed cool enough with my foot and the big chainring kinda spinning together - thought it looked pretty neato. @Robert - the flux capacitor IS the Vendetta. :)

What kind of data do you want? Ratz, You said you wanted data on QRings on a Vendetta. What are you looking for? Comparison to Round? My setup is 50/34 172.5mm QRings ?11-28 My Mike Sherman's Gear Calculator page - http://goo.gl/hZkWjT

Climbing technique Halfheartedcards, Check out this thread - from Dan Fallon a while back. Had some good conversation on how to A) use more upper body when climbing but also B) how to position yourself on the bike so you don't spin as much/often...

Elliot! What a ride! Elliot! Epic ride! #jealous Thanks for sharing the pics. "The Man in Blue" is Tim Turner - on Bentrideronline = TimTurner. Yes he is VERY fast. Glad to be in the same picture with him for once! :)

Testing Image Upload - Vendetta pr0n Robert - this is me spinning up your Vendetta at HPV @ PIR over Memorial Day! Boy that was a treat! I updated my BROL avatar with this shot and kinda liked the "oil painting treatment" here.

BentAero, I second the BentAero, I second the request for identifying the bag you have under the seat. I'm not liking what I have come up with so far. (Maybe you know already Ratz?)

Agreed. Robert, I conveniently ignored the slow speed stuff but that's right - slow speed stuff is loads easier. Input 180W up my normal hill on the Vendetta puts me at 7-8mph - very stiff and responsive. Silvio 1.0, 180W is 5-6mph - and feels sorta sluggish by comparison - maybe the extra...

More than 3 minutes...but so worth it Robert, My ride would be about 3 hours and 3 minutes to get to Alpenrose but that would be so fun! The velodrome near me (Marymoor) doesn't appear to be open to the public like this one does. I'm still investigating. Lief

Now on a new-to-me Vendetta So, this thread is old - but it is still relevant, at least to me, because I love sprinting. I got the chance to do more of it at this year's Human Powered Challenge at Portland (I missed 2013). Unfortunately for me - the event was hand-timed this year. Not...
