Have fun Cruzing Have fun Cruzing Andrew! Assuming I followed the directions correctly, I created a route map for the 100 mile here: http://ridewithgps.com/routes/3298569 -Eric

Oh Charles, put a sock on Oh Charles, put a sock on it... Your Cruzigami that is

Are you working toward an Are you working toward an Easy Racer or F40 type nose cone and stretchy sock? Sort of like this? Or this?

Those look really good. You Those look really good. You will want to consider what will happen if you get caught having to ride for any duration in the rain. Otherwise, as you mention, keep an eye out for chafing so you can figure out how to protect your paint finish from getting...

With the Quest I can do either now in a very With the Quest I can do either now in a very tight 180 degree or perhaps a bit tighter turn but I started by unclipping one or both legs and coasting through the turn at first - I have Shimano PD-A530 dual platform pedals. As I got more...

OK Andrew, so give us the OK Andrew, so give us the Paul Harvey... You know, so now we know the rest of the story. Ditching the front disc and keeping the back? Ditching both? -Eric

Are the Force cranks carbon Are the Force cranks carbon or an alloy/carbon combination of some sort? SRAM's product page describes the Force arm as: Carbon/ Machined Alloy but not having seen one I don't know what that means. I bought a Stages power meter which currently requires an alloy...

Besides the difference with Besides the difference with cost and weight, it looks like the main differentiator is the FD yaw adjustment capability. I've been curious about how well this functions and imagine both Jake and myself and perhaps others would be interested to hear from folks who...

Looks like the light mount Looks like the light mount arms are long enough you could rotate everything down and forward and have the light housing out of the sight line from your eyeballs straight down the boom to the road. And I think it would further reduce or totally eliminate "foot flash"...

Hi Christian,I had been Hi Christian, I had been wondering how this was turning out for you. Any idea about net weight gain or loss compared to what you started with? Benefit of Patterson over Schlumpf? -Eric Edit: Dang, Hamish beat me by 1 min... (my post time...

Andrew can you take a Andrew can you take a close-up photo of how you attached the covers to your rims without interfering with the braking surface. Also how do you keep the tape smooth along the arc of the rim circumference? You've got me thinking of trying this on my Vendetta...

So what are you say'n about So what are you say'n about my aerodynamic profile mister! :D -Eric PS - Vendetta Project Phoenix has begun...

Yeah, I didn't word that very Yeah, I didn't word that very well John, but that is what I meant - pre v2 Vendetta was 7% faster than pre v2 Silvio so now let's compare v2 V to v2 S and see how much v2 S has closed the gap. I was just trying to get Ivan to volunteer to be the guinea pig to...

On the Vendetta, the bladed On the Vendetta, the bladed chainstays allow clearance for the BB ring clamp bolt holes to be drilled and threaded all of the way through. Although the Silvio chainstays are even more bladed in a sense than the Vendetta, the "blades" are perpendicular to the ring...

It sounds like the new Silvio It sounds like the new Silvio has gotten a bit closer to the old Vendetta's performance envelope. At the Waterford track which has one small hill and is not totally flat otherwise, averaging 32.2kph for the one hour time trial was pretty easy on the Vendetta -...

I guess I just don't trust I guess I just don't trust the carrier to keep the thing in place over bumps and other unexpected road blemishes. I still keep thinking the U is going to swing around on you and impact the tire at some point. Why not modify the end tube plug on the frame so it...

Must remember to put on my Black Magic sailing gloves when getting caught riding the Quest in the bloody rain. The damn twist shifters are exceedingly slippery when wet with wet hands. I couldn't shift when the rain was really dumping on me... The palms of the Black Magic sailing gloves are...

Ye are a braver lad than I. I Ye are a braver lad than I. I wouldn't ride with it like that. Keep in mind you have suspension so things flex and may put things in a different space and time that may be catastrophic... I forsee the U getting wedged between the tire and the seat stay at...

The entire road as in The entire road as in curb-to-curb? No motor vehicle traffic in either direction?

Way to go John! How do you Way to go John! How do you manage to average 20 mph with 14,000 riders? Seems like it would be a log jam the entire way. -Eric
