I use patches on the mountain bikes but not on any bikes that are pumped up more than 80 psi... just not worth the hassle.

Quite a riddle in a haystack. Lets hope i prick myself and wakeup

2016 was a very good year for me. Little did i know my sweet spot. The bike configuraton for me just seemed dialled. I had a shimano 165 ultegra crank on with a big q ring daisy cutter 54t. And it chewed. But i thought i would try things after that Seebring event and lost my way a little. I'm...

Hey Jond, Drool.... that looks wicked. Is that the woodchipper bar and the standard stock seat?

"Ok google.... dictate this...." Save jason having to write anything

I am surprised that it was not faster. Looks quite amazing! If it were me i would reduce the front fairing so it wasnt so rhino looking and perhaps widened the faring at the back of the seat to keep the cda lower. Love the 5 spoked wheel on the v20. Like for like... if your v20 had more of a...

Its not a v20 but a v2. Might not be 11speed adapted

I wouldnt be surprised if the new build is even faster. Trust will be the major issue.

Hi Tor... Great pictures... did you have any trouble on the steep gravel road?

I had a deluxe Ventisit pad but opted to take the liner out and see what that was like. Not bad now that i am lighter but i still think the rubber matt that i had was faster but warmer. I am going to change the tires to 28mm GP 5000 TL ... my best year for speed was 2016 so... time to...

If you're going to be that fast have someone to meet you at the sag stops as they probably won't be ready and you won't want to hang around.

I can only compare cheap knockoff chinese DF frame sets for $500 ... not exactly a Trek madone but it gives a hell of a ride. The Vendetta though gives a Heavenly ride. You get what you pay for. I ride the Vendetta for 100km i get off with a smile and not much pain anywhere. Can't say that for...

Lets see if i can get onto page 38 of this fine thread... so i took a ride today on the vendetta. Stoked as usual... i'm sure i get twice as much adrenalin on that bike than i do on a DF. Perhaps that's why its so euphoric?

Pretty sure some of your riders were feeling somewhat different :eek:

Well if you have an electric bike and Maxwell starts to produce a 500 watt cells you will probably either go twice as far or have a lighter bike. My ideal would be a 250 watt motor with a light battery. I like the idea of having a solar cell charger option too. Like the gallium arsenide devices...

That's some ding dong hill. 183bpm... guess you took the visor off for that one?

Yes I saw this... but I have already put down for IQSQUARE 'ed solution. If you skidout on the vendetta chances are your pedal is going to get dinged. IQSQUARE offering is a titanium plate and pressure sensor between the pedal and crank. They also say their solution is respectfully accurate and...

Yes... sand is an issue for me too. Friction burns are painful. You can buy some special stuff from Amazon. Make sure the wound is clean and then put the duoderm product over it. Then leave it to heal. I've never ordered any but I know a few cruzbikers have.

Ken... what can I say.... totally epic. I was watching all those riders going out and the person ringing the clanger must have had repeatedly changed hands to do it for all those riders. Having so many riders in that sportif must have been a little unnerving to say the least. Great result!

Just seen something... how about aluminium alloy a7075... with some clever welding... https://phys.org/news/2019-01-nanotechnology-enables-weld-previously-un-weldable.html
