Thanks Andrew! I've seen some Thanks Andrew! I've seen some of your photos, you do outstanding work. Truth be told if it were more visible I might be more concerned but to some extent it is a bike, it gets ridden and dirty and scuffed no matter how careful you are so I don't agonize over...

Waiting for my homeowners Waiting for my homeowners insurance to process my claim to see what they'll cover before I start buying replacement parts. Yes, most definitely well protected by the Vendetta cockpit configuration. I was doing over 19mph when I was knocked down, dragged, and my...

Ahh but they are definitely Ahh but they are definitely worth the wait. I waited a looooooong time for mine and am back waiting again, dang it, but these beasties are really, really fun. -Eric

And here I thought it was And here I thought it was supposed to be " If the details of a headset are new to you... " or perhaps " If the details of a threadless headset are new to you... " would be better. Other than that, I'm lobbying for a DRAFT Vendetta 2.0 assembly manual more like...

With my Vendetta I generally With my Vendetta I generally put the boom in my workstand clamp to do this. It is fiddly but I can usually pop the wheel out in under a minute or less and that is going slow to avoid getting chain grease on me. I don't switch wheels for my trainer as I use a...

do you down shift in small Well, yes and no. I down shift the RD a bit then I shift the FD and then finish down shifting the RD but I try to downshift before any significant effort builds to avoid bogging down on the shift and to keep cadence up as I shift. I've also been...

Cyclemeter works with all of Cyclemeter works with all of the Bluetooth Smart devices without having to use the ANT+ dongle. I have all of these and they all connect via smart bt (low power) to my iPhone 5 and work with Cyclemeter: Wahoo Blue HR Wahoo Blue SC Wahoo KICKR ?Wahoo...

You may be able to go larger You may be able to go larger but 160mm front and 140mm back is probably already more stopping power than you need. That is what is on the Quest which is heavier than the Silvio and they are easy to lock up if you want to, especially the back. -Eric

John and I are both big fans John and I are both big fans and users of the Cyclemeter app for iPhone. Wonderful app and the developers are very responsive to their customers. I try and help beta test some stuff for them - Wahoo RFLKT, Wahoo KICKR, and Stages Power Meter interaction with...

BTW, I was just starting to BTW, I was just starting to use a power meter and was experimenting using it to monitor my effort to try and maintain a higher overall average speed by kind of "smoothing" my overall effort. E.g. ease on flats and downhills and hold better power on uphills...

I'm gonna start calling you I'm gonna start calling you Speed Racer, John... Great job, now I gotta hurry up and get the V back together and play catch up... My best so far is 70 miles at 17.5 mph average - you're killing me man! -Eric

Vendetta 2 and Silvio 2 Vendetta 2 and Silvio 2 headrests are the same see photos and description here. I didn't capture a good photo of the scissor-jack clamp thingy that John invented in the link above but here is another photo of it. When you insert the headrest assembly into the frame...

+1 for wicked cool and +1 for wicked cool and concentrating on technique now and speed later. As Yoda and Obi Wan would say, "Use the Force Ivan, use the Force" @John, cookies ? -Eric

You might also want to take a You might also want to take a look at this Head/Neckrest thread on BROL. The Silvio and Vendetta headrests don't quite work the way being discussed in regards to the headrest frame flexing. Instead, you can achieve some of the same effect with different types...

I was wondering when the I was wondering when the update would finally show. I really like the change to the home page to emphasize your summary numbers by career or current year, prior year, month, etc. Here is that part of my RWGPS home page ( I started tracking with RWGPS on Aug 23...

Roughly 86 inches (219 cm) is Roughly 86 inches (219 cm) is what I get, and I allowed for some extra at each end since I've no idea where the actual connectors might end up. Disclaimer - My medium sized Vendetta is currently disassembled for repair so I eyeballed some of the transitions...

For the Vendetta, yes one For the Vendetta, yes one frame but I believe it is one of a small, medium or large chainstay in combination with either a small (kinked) boom or a regular boom. I think there is just one size for the slider and you trim it if necessary. Did I get it right John...

Yeah, but typically helmet Yeah, but typically helmet manufacturer's "large" still isn't large enough for my big old fat head - sigh... My Giro Venti is a Universal Extra Large (58-65cm) and it barely fits. I have just enough room for one of those very thin Walz caps under the helmet and...
