That's why I replied :eek:

I guess it's probably easier if you have a front disc brake and sit up hard against the handlebars just when engaging the front brake. Some how, I don't think I will be practicing that one.

You got to be quick ... the Vendettas' go like hot cakes

Hey Hardy, can you give me the link? I am interested in them and what sort of weather they have to deal with.

Holy crap... that Zockra looks like it could sting a Vendetta to death

I have a yellow Vendetta 2 that's a little sup'ed up. I usually get "wow , can I take a photo of the bike". I once had to stop at a bridge crossing when the bridge was up. As I was overtaking everyone as there wasn't any oncoming traffic, a moped rider asked me about the bike. He was very...

If you made the vendetta more aero you would probably be 6mph faster than the softrider. Biggest change you can do is cut down the headrest, change the BB and cut down the cranks. The biggest unforseen fight is not against the bike but the engine. Aero is for all and drag is the enemy here.

Too straight and you get tendonitis in the forearms. Not good. If you aren't doing hills you will probably get away with it. But straight arms with hills... it will take it's toll.

Ti is for Ford trucks. Keep on rolling. Just think what the share price of Ford will do when investors hear the news?:rolleyes:

The irony of this statement was the opposite for me. I backed the T50 KS campaign and then heard the news about the new S40. I thought to myself. I should just have got the S40. However... I will probably end up buying both. The idea is to rent out the bikes and give lessons in them. So the...

Gosh... you are catching up with Larry. I guess you don't call it a quiver of bikes? There aught to be a collective name for a set of bikes with such quality.

It's a big chunk at the back of my head and shoulders. Think of all that yaw drag and the lack of ventilation. I reckon Greg's new seat would be great in a 40c summer. I swapped out the standard headrest for a blow up inner tube. The idea of something that can dampen the road noise and reduce...

3:43 ... that's eye watering... yep that will be a record for sure. What are you going to smash it by ... 20 seconds perhaps:rolleyes: I guess you might be limited by wind speed. Chicago is the windy city so perhaps best you have that early time even if it seems inconvenient. Wishing you the...

Haaaa: that takes months. Maybe weeks if you really learn to relax. It's the biggest fiddle as you really don't know what works for you. I remember setting up the configuration without a helmet and then wearing a helmet on the road it felt totally different:mad:. For the novice: Try adjusting...

Ditto

What's the widest tire you can put on? I just bought some 33mm challenge tires that have tread on the sides. I bought them as I need to make my hybrid bike a bit more comfortable. That might help.

Either go tubeless or tubular... clinchers just peel off the rim when they flat and you just slide along the ground. I don't fancy the glue so I go with the gunk. Joking apart... there is one sealant that rules all and that is Orange Sealant :) (that seems very hard to get)

Hey.... I read an article about how a Microsoft konetic was used to replicate a 3D t-rex head. Perhaps it can be used on a Silvio too. Bombing down a mountain doing the Jason jumps at 45mph on curve apex has to produce quite a lot of tension on the forks. Not sure how Ti works with this as its...

Well if it takes 20 minutes to produce a S40 then perhaps $500 aud. (Can't see that happening somehow). Or perhaps I can ... just think of the profit margin pro rata. $$$$ It would have to be a win win. And the process will be done in Australia from where the cruzbike story started...

@snilard : Why not carry a few links in your pockets? Do riders really take two chains with them for 1400km? Half way round just stop into a garage and get the bike sprayed down and get and use a can of wd40. Chuck it away afterwards. All done in 5 minutes. And you don't disturb the drive chain...
