Hmmm, I'm kind of liking Hmmm, I'm kind of liking John's zip tie work around. I may try that on my Vendetta and see if it is workable. Clearance on the inside between the fork and the 11T looks a bit tight though - and of course I need to find a yellow zip tie -Eric

Bob, I'm curious how you are Bob, I'm curious how you are going to change your RD hanger if it gets bent or damaged. Will you be able to remove the epoxied hanger without damaging anything else? I'm not being snide, I'm really curious if your epoxy solution allows for removal of the RD...

Volae Club vs Silvio Hi Tim, It looks like a Volae Club was $2095 new as a complete 9-speed dual 26 inch (650c) wheel non-suspended bike. The Silvio is a $2190 frameset for a 10 speed dual 29 inch (700c) wheel full suspension bike plus the cost of whatever groupset and wheels you want...

When I transport my Vendetta When I transport my Vendetta in the back of my Equinox, I take both wheels off and put the loose ends of the chain and RD (with hanger staying attached to the RD) into a gallon ziplock bag, an old rag, and a velcro tie to hold it against the chainstay. If you...

Hi John, Interesting question but if I were Cruzbike's marketing manager I'd have a lot more background and knowledge of other things Cruzbike to be able to respond better but I'll wing it. Since you released the Silvio 2.x the "Silvio build" threads and "I bought a Silvio" threads have...

Larry, I was sorely Larry, I was sorely tempted... Perhaps Bob was typing this up after changing out his front wheel. -Eric

Bob, did you ever look at Bob, did you ever look at using something like the Jtek levers? Potential conflict with your thigh when mounted in the typical inboard position. Unfortunately flipping them outboard and doing some of your shifty, er, shifter surgery probably wouldn't work as the...

Hey Larry. Now don't get me Hey Larry. Now don't get me wrong. I didn't say I liked it just that it gets easier with practice. I like Bob's tea leaves suggestion of figuring out a way to make this whole process much easier.... -Eric

After you do it a bunch it After you do it a bunch it gets way easier. RD cage locks are your best friend If you have a flat, hard surface just pull it all apart as you say and set the forks down on the said surface. It will sit fairly stable this way. I always pop the RD hanger out...

The Tinker's Workshop - Dave The Tinker's Workshop - Dave Langkamp ?Check it out. Dave creates all kinds of cool stuff with his 3D printer. You should read through all the bits and pieces he has made and is making for his velomibile shell he is building...

I removed the water bottle I removed the water bottle cage from that position on my Vendetta for the same reason Bob mentions. I don't know if my thighs got thicker or I just started noticing it more and more but it was getting on my nerves so I got rid of it. It was especially...

Bob, my face hurt the next Bob, my face hurt the next day from smiling so much the first time I rode a Silvio. And you know what is really cool? It still keeps happening with my Vendetta too and I'm coming up on having it for about a year now. -Eric

I can't comment about Android I can't comment about Android apps other than to recommend Ride With GPS (RWGPS) and their new Android app. I've found Cullen King of RWGPS very responsive to a few issues I've found and he has fixed with RWGPS. I think Wahoo may be working on an Android...

Bloodied in the of thick Bloodied in the of thick battle! Both you and the bike. Now get back on your steed and go kick some more butt! Especially now that you are past the " man, I don't want to scratch up/damage my new bike " stage. Now you can be fearless! I did something similar on...

Considering the crappy road Considering the crappy road conditions - i.e the need to be more attentive to the surface conditions than usual I'd say you are doing pretty darn good considering you are learning to ride an almost totally new format. I would probably have gotten distracted at...

BTW, this last configuration BTW, this last configuration of yours is looking very similar to the custom bullhorns Mr V built. -Eric
