    S30 and Ultegra 6800

    I had this experience with my V20 build. You will have to find a BB6700 or BB7900 to utilize the 6800 crankset. I picked up a spare BB7900 as I was thinking of switching my S30 over to 6800 too. Decided to leave the S30 SRAM as built. Let me know if you have trouble finding a BB.

    One leg inducing wobble - any suggestions?

    Axe, I experienced a similar wobble. My solution was to ride more and to think about pedaling smooth round circles with both feet. I was mashing a bit causing an unequal force at the pedals and that induced the wobble. For me it was fine at slower speeds but showed up when I was cruzing at...

    Battlexe has joined team Cruzbike

    Congrats Battleaxe! It looks like your got a pretty good fit out of the box. I really like your boom angle and your lower hand position. Im really thinking about adding an extension too. One of the things that helped me the most was just tooling around in the parking lot. Though Ive got...

    First Loaded Tour!

    Nice job Tom! Looks like you have the S30 loaded well. Your boom and handlebars look much lower than mine. Do you have an chainstay extension? thanks, Hal

    First Official Century

    BentAero, I changed the pedal distance when I got the new shoes about 200 miles ago. Same pedals (Shimano A600) and new cleats for the new shoes. My R pedal interface does seem to have more float than the L though. The knee pain showed up yesterday during a recovery ride after a hard 40 ride...

    First Official Century

    Nice job Rick!! Did the tape help and how did you figure out the configuration? Im going to try my first reclined century 5/16 up in Fresno. Today I had some very unusual R knee pain and I think it is the result of new shoes and hard 40 mile yesterday. Want to investigate the taping if it...

    Drivetrain suggestions?

    I would also like to plug Cycling Past 50. Its the book that precedes Fast After 50 that Bob recommended. It is a great book with sage tips and a ton of training advice. Im actually following Friel's Century training routine and have been seeing marked improvement.

    Drivetrain suggestions?

    Duncan, Ive got Roberts build on my S30 and like it a lot. The SRAM double tap took awhile to get used to but is second nature after around 500 miles. Im slowly building my V20 with complete Ultegra 6800. Ive currently got 170mm crankset but have been seriously considering a 165mm before the...

    Installed SRAM X7 Type 2 rear deraileur

    Rick, Im thinking of a Wolf Tooth 42T granny for my S30. Have a Type2-X7 RD and a 1070 11-36 cassette. From your and Roberts post seems like the X7 should handle the wrap. Which cog did you remove? I was thinking about both 15T & 17T and substituting 16T. Am planning the Rosarito-Ensenada...

    WooooHooo...new S30 delivered today

    OK, Ive now got around 500 miles on the S30 and am getting along quite well. Ive attached a couple of profiles to show my current setup. It feels like my hands are way too high, especially when I grab the hoods and use them as horns. I like that position a bunch but Im really reaching for...

    Paint My Silvio

    Im thinkin the same thing.  Im thinkin the same thing. The red V20 looks nice but everyone knows yellow bikes are faster! Actually the V 2.1 color is really an eye turner. Been talking with a couple local powder coaters down here in SoCal. Going rate seems to be between $100-150. My...
