Wow handy Andy awesome work well done. Don really great job.

I see shimano too are making 1.5 watt dynamos now. I think the son hubs still lead the pack in terms of expense and generally good experience. But sp and shimano make great and cheaper alternatives. I went Schmidt SON because I had no option for my gto trike.

So no problems then. Thanks lol. Snilard I spoke via email with owner of company. Like you I thought mount front fork but no the position for vendetta “is on rear “so I have mount coming for rear. Yes the exact orientation of dynamo is critical. I expect some noise in accord with my research...

Osiris take a look at cruzbike blog archive from feb. here you will find the a2 wind tunnel testing of the vendetta with three bodies . Note the pics showing boom position of each bike.

Ixon iq premium Exposure Strada 1200 road. Chinese magic shine 808 are the battery lights I have. The b&m ixon iq premium is the best as it allows aa battery x 4 recharge or alkaline. The others have degraded battery packs over summer due to nil use. The exposure was great till it was stolen...

Slim I thought you would avoid any such discussions re power generation since south Australia is devoid of power ,young people ,potable water and nice climate. Lol. Now remember to vote labour on Saturday jay and nick are depending upon your vote.

Oh come on already what issues don’t leave me hanging now the dynamo is in the mail. That’s just cruel..and now I feel stupid for not asking if anyone had purchased one. Ok it’s later hit me.

Yes I read varying reports on noise generation. The sport model is for higher speeds. Most reports I found seemed positive. And compared to the old bottle or b&m effort it is quiet. I don’t think it will be as quiet as my Schmidt hub on my gto greenspeed though

So dynamos beards cyclin sandals and long socks are audax nirvanas.for some lol. I already have a hub on greenspeed gto and it’s been great. But adds some weight. Cue the 70 gram Velogical Dynamo. Later this month I take delivery of the velogical sport dynamo to be paired with a b&m iqx 100...

Lifting your buttocks off seat. Swinging that boom. Upper body bridging effort. Tucking your arms in and closing your mouth from all that panting. Inching forwards and backwards rigid ankle anklin. Power metering chicken legs. We are so lucky to have such a great bike to apply ourselves to in so...

A 300 and 200 Parkes B.B. audax. Going to be hot. Still glad to be out there.

I can’t pull or replace a bottle reliably Leg interference was an issue for me on front boom with standard round bidon 500 to 750 mm. Aero bottle and holders provide more room with lower capacity. But for me I settled on dip tube and aero bottle options. I just drilled a standard bidon and used...

Yes with ultegra caliper brakes new model 11 speed. 2017. Close but comfy no discernible issues so far rough roads local There are no rub marks at 80 psiThe closest tolerance limit seems to be calipers arms 1.5 mm approx and front crown 2 mm. Everywhere else is 2.5 to 3 mm. Confident enough...

Lol being smacked by a caravan ages you ten years...

Ratz you nailed it. I too on trainer have a higher cadence than on road. I put that down to variability of the road. And yes as I start to tire the cadence ....heck everything slips. To a self selected 70 75. I use 172.5 and 175 mm cranks. I think shorter cranks on the flat would be good...

You know once you see it the cassette that is it will become your favourite paper weight. Lol. Good luck with the build. The s40 definitely is intriguing and is so versatile.

Pcmousely thread “the seat of my problem on my new v 20” was an innovative well engineered effort . A few years back now from memory.

I have a SRAM 1099 one solid disco dancing billet bling cassette that I fitted once to the v to complement her SRAM redness. But it got a little dirty and that won’t do for a work of art . My wife forbade it. Now it’s in the bike draw of bling where occasionally the cave is basked in its...

Praxis works

Slim we new south Welshmen the most populace state have actual employment jobs Australia’s economic centre no nick Xenophon performing super funds electricity turned on stolen water and clean water and amenable climatic conditions here . Can’t argue the numbers even from 2008. So what if you are...
