Yes yes it can. And loaded too. Great audax bike for me. Except in real mountains for me. Without doubt John Tolhurst nailed the design. I recommend a pneumatic neck rest for comfort on poor roads. Never tried the sprung cruzbike rest. As time has rolled on through iterations of vendettas the...

lol slim you’re such a two dimensional south Aussie apologist. Yes I remember doing a review on the shocks but that was an eon ago and thought a thunk here might be of help. New info 42 v 38 and I need the grift. Now here I am in the antique section talking with a fellow Aussie fossil. I’ve...

Headrest to get your head more vertical eyes not looking up at the sky let the headrest out. Sounds counter intuitive but it’s correct. On the vendetta mm matter. Doing turns low speed laid back move your head and outside shoulder to the outside of turn. Hope it stops raining. Also recline the...

Yes the two chambered kind was impossible insitu on hurricane to adjust negative chamber. Not so DNM. I should one day fit a DNM to sofrider but I am lazy.

Both my double chamber kind shocks failed. So did one dnm. I fitted two o rings instead of one and DNM has lasted. 25;000 klm now. That’s on the hurricane I hasten to add. My sofrider has a DNM coil damper with longer spring from oem kind shock. It’s generally on the kickr trainer. Lightweight...

DNM is a better air shock than the kind in my opinion. I’ve run both. Two of each. DNM better .

165 mm v3

V3 sofrider 165 mm eye to eye shock. The kind shock spring damper failed now replaced with DNM damper with longer kind spring oem. May try DNM air shock been great on hurricane. edit replaced with DNM air shock very nice ride recommend just do it.

no. I mean sag is when you place your weight on bike. The shock should compress 20% of full travel.

set sag at 20% of total travel.

hi ed was wondering how the alpha 7 is working out. it is my retirement dream bike. Though covid 19 has pushed it back some. did you take ownership of the alpha 7 ed. how do you fit. what are your physical proportions. I seem to remember you are a tall person.

now that is something well done. Those mirrors are ray guns. ;)

don’t do that. It may be more comfortable but you’ll hardly notice and it will leave you vulnerable to pinch flats. eventually you will have a flat. On the front or rear. Steer straight come to a rest. If you edge your wheels through leaning you’ll fall off in all likelihood. I’ve front...

lol we had time to read the thread title.

No doubt the benefit of continuing riding is manifestly necessary versus the low risk of infection for this particular cycling tragic. I’m seeing more cycling in my area. Riding inside too is a great option. Just keep riding if you can.

Wheel building is fun. Therapeutic for the garage hack.

I think it’s good to ride your bike especially at this time of upset. Today we had a fall in new infections in nsw. Australia. A glimmer of positivity. The measures here may be impacting the virus. love your bike pics. Art.

Sick stupid and sad. Only get your information from a trusted source. Government health web sites etc. not social media hysteria. I guess the latest information that is factual is old news and we all should be ahead of the curve and look after each other especially the elderly. we don’t want...

Allowing an Aussie cruzbiker from south Australia to attend the retreat will result in the event footage going viral.......... in south Australia if the internet gets connected once power is restored. a special jersey for superslim should read. “ downunda virus” and “infect me with your love”...

when shimano released the 6800 11 speed a few years back a sell point was a brake ratio change from 3 to 1 to 4 to 1 in line with the dura ace centre mount calipers. Achieved through total re design of caliper. This made a big difference in superior brake performance and rivals my disc braked...
