The first few days I was getting around three hours sleep a night. out

actually 14000 m vertical ascent. You have an elapsed 90 hours to complete. I did it in 85 hrs 13 min. I was knocked off my bike on an inner city Melbourne cycleway by a guy on a fixie. 5 klm to go. Bugger. Still better than being killed or hitting kangaroos wombats or wild horses. Some of the...

it will be very tough no matter the gearing. I will need to train specifically harder for such an event. Maybe there is something in nsw where we could ride together. As an intro. I have no drop policy. What about an audax or charity ride with some climbing.

yes it’s all in jest not wilful at all. Pot stirring is a national pastime along with gambling. In reality I have the utmost regard for my friend . david remains the one and only south Australian to ride and ignominiously crash my vendetta. True story. at the time I did not realise that south...

Four it’s much harder

mate I’ve done Sydney to Melbourne audax alpine with 1200 klm with 9 or 12000 m climbing one of the worlds toughest. Also alpine classic and rode through there many times. Just never on a bent. Or as unfit or as old or ...... heck if don wants to have a go I’m in. And I’ll train up. And down...

Yes they are built well and rock into the ages. Free hub removal should be a nice tube video somewhere to answer that query. Great story well done keep on riding.

how much money have you got Are you prepared to go disc brake. Cheap yoleo etc. expensive well bling enve etc etc. nominated spoke count is available.

when you buy the farm of course. Or fall off the perch. Cash in your chips. Let the wife sell your bikes for what you told her you purchased them for. Or simply visit south Australia.

On my fatbike is TA. Every other bike QR. call me cynical old cheapskate or an irrelevant dinosaur but from a user perspective I do prefer QR . Please don’t call me that.... QR all the way baby for as long as I can hold out ........before the manufactured extinction event of bike industry...

I think you will find the vendetta rear wheel with 16 spokes radial lace will rub the rear caliper excessively and annoyingly. due to the loading 50/50 weight distribution. You will open the rear caliper rendering it useless. Calipers don’t work so well anyway on carbon brake rim surfaces ...

Without doubt mj comfort is speed. Well done on finding your solution. And a good deal too. Love a bargain :) The stock neckrest is part of the extremely stiff efficient frameset. Unfortunately that transfers a lot of road chatter through to the noggin. Seemingly we all have variable tolerance...

lol I don’t say I wish I would have I say what happened;)

16 spokes radial pattern on rear of vendetta equals a lot of flexion beyond standard front wheel on a df. I personally would not be worried about carbon rim which is super strong but worried about catastrophic failure of spokes when railing an imperfect corner at high speed. Those sixteen...

Gee don don’t know about that. At sixty years old a testicle may slip into the wrong cavity. Maybe 3 for me. 3 watts not nuts. And 15% real hills equals wheel slip excuse to walk. Maybe three of us can have a go.

Ditto paco. Except the bike. The oem cruzbike neckrest with inflated bladder inner tube is super comfy. lol I put my Thor neckrest in the oven to shape it. It went flat. Lol. Subsequently I did manage to shape it to requirement from the oven. I prefer the early style performer neckrest on my...

Plus one larry o. Mid sole cleated shoes. Move those cleats back as far as possible.. try for biggest interface between shoe and cleat as possible..hot foot tingling is a royal pain. I’ve found my flexy shimano sandals to be the worst offender.

Pepper spray......well gun holster my guffaw I thought you were riding a condiment s40 special. Soon you’ll leave the mutt in your dust. Welcome to the tribe a nicer bunch of helpful souls you will not find. I don’t think we can get pepper spray here in Australia. Guess I’ll just leave the...

I personally would not run with 16 spokes on well really any bike nowadays. Vendetta puts you at 50/50 weight distribution. A broken spoke on your 16/front rear on vendetta might lead to overloaded spokes despite 50 mm carbon rim. Certainly puts my front wheel climbing wheelset on my df into...

Does any other company have a marketing offer like it. Not to mention the vendetta guarantee. No it’s not too good to be true. It’s unerring faith in your product. What a wonderful company. Accessible smart and kind. Greatly appreciated. This ethos comes from the top down. Cruzbike...
