    Front wheel change is tough!

    Yes I always tip the vendetta upside down. Up a slope if possible. I don’t wax roadie chains. I should. But I carry rubber disposable gloves. Plus one on the zip ties.

    Recollections of my first 12 hour cycling event. Washington, NC

    Barry go to Kmart. Purchase Lycra shorts and longs about $20 that’s all I ever use on the v. On a saddle it’s tf Mille hellishly expensive. Another cruzbike advantage. Or buy expensive skins etc. Turn Kmart Lycra inside out puts rougher seam on outside. You can cut the label for cool factor...

    What did you do to your Cruzbike today?

    Hi Barry. I got them from Mybikeshop.com an American store. The $370 include a bottom bracket and choice of three crankset ring combos. This was an alloy crankset. They do have a carbon one crankset but it’s nearly twice the price and not that much lighter. They go down to 145 mm crank...

    What did you do to your Cruzbike today?

    So the Cobb 155 mm mid compact crankset fitted a few days ago to v20. After three rides ....... two on trainer one outside. Initial thoughts. It is noticeably and immediately easier to spin up and perhaps a higher average cadence will result for effort short rides. I think anything over two...
