    Longer chainstay = more speed

    I'm interested how you get on. I was told that having a larger chainstay would make the bike less stable. I think cruzbike do 3 lengths of chain stays.

    Diet: Low Carb and Ultra Cycling

    Keto is always getting on the scales. Remember though.... muscle is heavier than fat. You want to build muscle but lose the fat. I supplement my diet with a high protein shake low carbohydrate powder. It's not cheap. The stuff I use, I tried to buy in America and it was three times expensive. I...

    Crash

    Two zip ties placed on the opposite side will keep the assembly together. First ensure chain is off chainwheel. Put bike on its side with deurallier on top. Removing the axle in a downwards fashion will keep the assembly together @trplay is the superstar of this technique

    Curved Slider

    If you aren't overweight, the curved slider is a no brainer. However if you like to hang a bottle underneath the boom then you might differ.

    Crash

    You might want to take the opportunity of upgrading your chainstay too. It looks like your vendetta is a version 2. I am very pleased with mine

    Climbing hills on a V20?

    Great for short climbs and bridges but not for any length of time as it gives you tendonitis. Probably more susceptible the older you are.

    The Cadence Conversations

    Three great big wild dogs with gnashing teeth at 7 in the morning does it for me.

    The Cadence Conversations

    Here's an interesting video about sustaining 440watts for an hour. It can be done.

    Cruzbike KOM/QOM challenge 10-31-17 thru 10-10-18

    As it was pointed out to me. Best make your own Strava segments. Make sure they'e endurance segments just for the Vendetta. Then the only way the buggers can get it is by drafting with 3 DF's together. Before I go gunning... I've got to lose some weight.

    Going to a 1x11 setup?

    That's a good idea

    Bike Sebring 2018

    My knees are quite sensitive. After shortening my cranks I can put 200watts down and still walk. I think this says a lot for shorter cranks. The only drawback is a limitation in powermeters as you won't find cheap crank based powermeters.

    Bike Sebring 2018

    How on earth does a velomobile turn? I noticed recently that my track bike has toe overlap and if you try and do a u turn on that clipped in, you fall. I did notice that a rider behind me last year had a fall... it is quite a common occurrence. Perhaps the event organizer could do something for...

    Bike Sebring 2018

    So question for Kyle @Barefoot Biker : the flashing rear radar system you are using... why did you decide to ride with it? Does it tell you how fast another rider is coming up on you?

    Bike Sebring 2018

    Hey @LarryOz ... that was a pretty small gap at 40kph and it looked like you didn't brake. I enjoyed the video... it appears you can save 30 watts when drafting another Vendetta. If there is fog... I think it's important for a front light. It looks like the other vendetta riders following some...

    Lightweight sprocket cassette for S40

    I have the shimano dura ace 12-28 and it has titanium sprockets (but not all sprockets are titanium). I bought it off eBay for last year's Sebring and yes... it did seem expensive but I wanted to feel good. But if you haven't got ceramic Bottom Bracket I would spend the money on that first. If...

    Bike Sebring 2018

    Holy crap. Not for the faint hearted. I'm pleased you didn't roll up with disc front and back. Ken ... I have to give you kudos. You did ever so well.
