Day 1 - Continued Bring on the Royals... Ok so about two hours later; we have a taped up frame. Time to mist on the first layer of Plastic Dip Just Mist a layer on. If you want to know more about the basics of using this stuff watch this quick video:

Day 1 - Continued.... Tape lots of tape. I'm using a mix of blue painter's tape and yellow car detailing tape. The plan is to tape off the areas of the frame that face out and up, and leave untaped the areas that face the tires and the road. Where the paint lines are going to be we use the...

Day 1 - Continued. Okay, how will I keep this frame nice and pretty? One of the bigger challenges I have had over the years is the slow pounding of grit into the underside of the frame. I'll preface that by saying bike frames and paint are tough. They hold up well, but the paint eventually...

Day 1 - August 27th 2023 Ok Let's take a close look at the V20c Gold Frame. The paint continues the trend of getting better every year. The metal flake is amazing this time around. The Head tube is clean and free of paint. The ZZZZZZZZZ pattern is a nice touch. The RIM brake mounts are...

Step 1: Get up at 6am and take (5 of 5) for a 7 mile ride up to the Top of the Dam to wear her out. Step 2: Spend the entire day preparing the build space Step 3: Accidentally spend all the rest of the free time tuning up the existing fleet of bikes so everyone can ride again tomorrow.

And here I thought the face mask was Lake Winnebago protection........ Winnebago means "Stinking Waters," and it's well-earned for those not from the area. It is also oddly applicable to the grey water in the RV's by the same name. ;)

Oh good save. I just assumed he was quoting the one that came with the bike

The cranks get here soon so we will start to find out this weekend. But it feels substantial. It’s gonna be > 2lbs less

That looks good. Only issue might be the size of the cage on the double, but I think that will work for a 42 and 34/50. That you really can't tell until you set it up; and even then 4-5% chance of a problem at most. 170mm cranks are long for a recumbent; you might want 165m if you can find...

Make a di2 fish tool

You are welcome. This is how we all learned this stuff; people ask, people answer, people pay it forward. 10 years ago this was all greek to me.

Ok this took awhile. Microshift OEM stuff is hard to look up. From what I can find the Arsis 11 Rear Derailleur is a short cage derailleur with a capacity of 35 teeth (35T) You currently have a 50/34 front crank so your capacity demand from that is 50T-34T= 16T You currently have a 11-28...

For completeness and proper calculations. Please list the following: 1. Number Teeth on your Front Big Ring 2. Number Teeth on your Front Little Ring 3. The exact model of your Rear Derailleur or a very good picture of it. With that, we can calculate the current capacity of your system to take...

Yes, assuming mid-cage derailleur, which is pretty much everything these days, you just need this https://www.wolftoothcomponents.com/collections/derailleur-optimization/products/roadlink Just used it to put a 42T on a silvio.

Lack of control via the software. We can stop them from posting pictures until post number 10 but a reply is a reply and it's how they get to ten; we don't get section control over that. So It's just a bit of active monitoring. The front door is harder to get through than you'd suspect thanks to...
