Awesome video. Really thrilling and enjoyable.

First one is a v1. Aluminium pan seat. Original vendetta. Red one is first v20 and a better handling finish and design more adjustable machine. You size the chainstay to fit your leg length . All hydroformed mainframes are same size. Great bike. Good for sealed audax.

Lol dome is indeed a great human being.

Summer on a hard shell seat it’s a ventisit thin pad with vendetta oem seat. It’s abrasive to Lycra more so than oem pad. The ventisit also eventually shapes too after 50 thousand klm however the pad is otherwise like new. I’ve also made my own from ac 10 material. It’s easy to keep clean under...

Very very favourably fitted on a challenge hurricane. I did a review on this forum. It’s titled “ cheapish rear shock comparison “ compared 165mm cheap shocks a dnm DVD 22 coil over and the kind shock rr1 and the dnm aoy 38 rc. In a nutshell the air dnm is not as light as the kind shock is a...

Congratulations. I wonder about local bike shops and their experience with your bike. There is a ton of build info on this forum. Be sure and compare and check. Take your time getting dialed in and learning. There is again a ton of info. Best tip. Follow that info . It takes most of us a...

Lol let’s talk bottom brackets...............

An added bonus is 11 speed is lighter lol. ;) Rant time.ugly follows.... It’s only the plates that make the external width wider with internal same across range. Exception single speed and lower than 7 gears I think.....need to check. Point being original cassette should not have wobbled...

Couple people have fitted the v20 front end to V2 mainframe. David ch for example. The v20 front end is a big leap in adjustability fitment practicality and ease of manufacture. Also add longevity to the mix. Sure it’s not chrome or polished aluminium and painted yella. And those swords are...

I would think this bike is optimised for shorter riders. At six two you will need a larger chain stay and maybe new boom slider arrangement. I truly hope I’m wrong. My V2 has large chainstay and I’m 6ft one. Probably better off with 19.5 rather than large in my case as my boom is nearly...

In Australia Gatorade is regarded by audax fraternity as having way too much sugar .like most of the ready made so called electrolyte replacement drinks in the take away fridge. I personally Use sis or hammer products. They are now becoming available in supermarket and are much less sweet and...

Schlitter with jbar. Incredible efforts riding over 1200 klm can never be understated. That speeding fine in the velo will be in a frame already I reckon. I’d love to do pbp one day. Watching these vids will have to do for now and they are truly inspiring.

Osiris I use heart rate and power metrics. After baselines become familiar I can avoid dehydration’s worst experiences by monitoring those two metrics on hotter long days on the bike.

When you’re gasping for air tendons straining and staying in front remember the suffering is really only in your head Lol. Your head space can have a much bigger impact than four kg. Power of the mind is worth 30 watts. Belief system. Sure there is some weight penalty and the gcn guys have...

Here you go Jack. I used the four plastic clamps supplied by cruzbike that fit over headrest tubing to affix bracket. For extra stability the bag top loop can be attached to top neckrest and bottom straps wrapped around under headrest bottom rails as it exits frame. I drove at 120 klm per...

I have the radical design bag. Yes it’s a quality product with ykk metal zip external pocket for bidon and reinforced base..... but is simply not as good a design as brain box with its bladder space Velcro pocket etc. plus cheaper. I’ll take a picture of bracket.

Go to page 2 for a pic. Aluminium flat bar frame very light and looks good. I reckon. Aero and great for long fast rides.

Kline that’s an exceptionally clean garage. Very neat. What is the round white device on the wall?

Checking it out Bafang now. Cheers mate. 380 watts ;) No climbing out of your hole ...... Heck it won’t even burn anymore. I’ll send some hunter valley coal . After I’ve finished watching the koalas kangaroos dolphins and people smiling at paradise. Ahhh Port Stephens world class unspoilt...

GWS greater western Sydney the giants. Still in the afl finals I think. It will be news next year on the bush telegraph south Australian styled communication pole. Yep if you can’t smile and ride a recumbent then .......... you’re already in a south Aussie nursing home.
