    What should I upgrade into

    Not the velokraft. Though it was and is a beautiful machine that is now outdated and unsupported like a few other brands. Hey Even poit rides wheels on his lizards the same size. You can add banana racer to the seat on a vendetta they just hang off and are easily simply removed . But the s40...

    How good are patches?

    Yes trust patches not self adhere type though . Don’t necessarily trust tube glue has not eveparated. So two tubes one patch kit two tubes glue small piece of tyre for a slashed tyre and I’m relatively confident. Having two wheels of different size is a royal pain. So is a hole in tube...

    2017 Vendetta V20 for sale

    Large refers to chainstay size. Main frames are all same size. Large is for six footers plus you’ll likely need a medium chainstay. But size yourself correctly.

    Cheapish rear shock comparison. Kind air shock dual V DNM 22 coil
