    Of course you could just totally get rid of the derailleurs and make it a single speed

    BRAG 2022

    The BRAG Website is slightly confusing to me. They say .. but no where I read do they say anything like: We are riding the same route as we did last year, or have links "2022 Routes" , etc. Everything is about "2021". Has anyone talked with them in person to find out if the 2022 route is...

    Tips for Pedaling at Faster Speeds

    Do you mean pedaling while going faster or pedaling at a higher rpm? Agree with Frito: mostly time on the bike will take care of either issue. Keep in mind that pedaling at a high rpm with very little pressure on the pedals (regardless of your speed) will most likely cause you to wobble some...

    Egg beater cleats

    Winter is always a great time to tear down and rebuild the bike and components: replace, repaire, clean, grease, tighten as needed. It's like having a new bike!

    TRP T860 Direct Mount Aerodynamic Road Brake

    Understand Jim. Probably better option than leg surgery. Only other thing I can think of would be pedal extenders to increase you q-factor.

    Sebring 12/24 is on for 2022!

    haha - unfortunately my left rotator cuff and left knee replacement. No time for those now. :(

    TRP T860 Direct Mount Aerodynamic Road Brake

    Jim, I used to have the TRI Omega and personally don't think it really helped with the V20 aerodynamics. There is some benefit to this brake on an upright because it has direct exposure to the mostly unobstructed airflow in front of the bike and above the wheel - but on the V20: the brake...

    Sebring 12/24 is on for 2022!

    I just had right rotator cuff surgery, so will be in a sling for 6 weeks and doing PT for 6 after that. I would still like to go if possible, but I may need to be in the "1 armed category" since I will only be 2 months post surgery. I really hope they use a different timing system too than in...

    Possible Thor Seat for Vendetta??

    I have no doubt it will happen. I have already had about 10 people express interest in purchasing one from the first run, so I think that is probably plenty enough for him to put forth the effort. Plus I am hopeful that Cruzbike will be in talks with him as an OEM once this seat exista and will...

    Kikr monitor speed reading

    Then you speed will only be based on your gearing and rpm. Speed is really irrelevant when training. Power is King, just make sure you calibrate the KICKR per instructios

    Kikr monitor speed reading

    what program is telling you what your speed and miles are. You did not mention Zwift - are yo just using the Wahoo interface with the KICKR or something else. If so, then it just depends on what gear you on in. And if you are in ERG mode then you could be in any gear and spin at any cadence at...

    Kikr monitor speed reading

    That seems like really slow speed for that power, but you speed in Zwift depends on your actual Wt/Kg number, the bike you are riding, the terrain and if you are drafting in a group. If I ride the Tron bike on the dessert route I can average about 20 mph on 2.0 Wt/Kg, I weight about 60 kg, so...

    Larry's Tailbox testing on V20 & Magic

    Basically when it's primary purpose is to fair the bicycle and not carry supplies and stuff. Even when it does that is cannot be overtly taper to rejoin the airflow "too much. Unfortunately there is no hard and fast rule or dimensions I can point to. Each organization appears to have their own...

    Larry's Tailbox testing on V20 & Magic

    Perhaps - I have about a dozen other bottle pods roughed out, but it takes a ton of time to carve out the bottle wholes for them . I will probably eventually test them, but I think I will build my wind tunnel first, as I think that perhaps the slight changes may not be that perceptible due to...

    Larry's Tailbox testing on V20 & Magic

    I did Jason - but as you noted the seat is too large and stuck me farther up in the air than I like to when mounted on the V20 frame - so not as aero for me The box was too large and did not meet the qualifications to keep the bike in the "unfaired" category. Still a great choice for someone who...

    Larry's Tailbox testing on V20 & Magic

    Here is the data and testing from the Magic with the same boxes. In these tests too the pods on top are slowing that without. note: 15" with bot pod - pos came loose and was flapping = reason for sign slower speed than expected The 15" wide box increased the speed by 0.90 mph over the stock...

    Larry's Tailbox testing on V20 & Magic

    More testing with the 2 CF tailboxes I recently made on the V20 It looks like the bottle pods slow the bike down a tad. The 11" box I built look to be just a little slower than the M5 with the bottle pods. Note: These boxes were specifically designed to be attached to the Magic and are not...
