    2017 Raven Rock Ramble

    Hi @Jim Parker , that photo of you above makes you look like you have three layer of optics. The lowest level that I can see coming from below your glasses might be draft excluders? I am always gets dust, or smoke or even pesticide spray getting underneath my shield. I guess you have found a...

    My new V20 rideable

    The weather here in Spain has just become too hot so the ventisit pad is going back on the seat. I have been thinking of buying the non delux version. As I have an idea you lose out on responsiveness. (I think @RojoRacing Jason has the non delux version and he is plenty fast)

    Neophyte in need of Vendetta V20 setup help...

    Hmmmm I wonder what type of pedals are going on to her?

    T50 - whatcha planning to build.....

    I want it with a 1x drive chain. Perhaps with a big cassette that doesn't weigh too much. Might even go with something planetary but I don't want it to weigh too much and not too expensive as if I rent the bike out it might go walkies (may be a sneaky tracking device too). I am quite confident...

    Little tweaks

    It's best not to compare yourself to anyone else. Jason is in a league unto himself. I am looking forward to the team RAAM event. Cruzbike has had a great year this year. I also noticed that kids love great looking products. They always take a look at the V when I stop for a drink. I still...

    Little tweaks

    Perhaps I should just be wise and enjoy the sport for what it is. As Jason says ... you get a peloton together and they just fly much faster than a no drafting :cruzbike: rider. So even still as I am getting better. I still have to reward myself. So perhaps a TV or a new super duper smart...

    Little tweaks

    Ok ... update time.... It's been a while. So what's the prognosis of all the latest updates? Well today I had a message to try for my Strava segment goals. I went out yesterday for a blast but something didn't feel quite right so today I put the rear carbon wheel on with covers and sure enough...

    Upgraded S30 Silvio for sale

    Great looking bike. It looks in perfect condition. How many miles have you done on it?

    XShifter...new wireless shifting option

    I can't wait to fit mine. I am after the TT pad so I can stick it into the bar end and get rid of one of those gear cables. And no clunky lever to engage when going flat out. Just a little flicker of a finger and no movement of force on the bars. Epic. Probably fit it using the water bottle...

    New Emoticons

    Hey that's brilliant :cruzbike: I want to use that on all the other apps too. Thanks Lucia!

    V20 frame quality

    Well I have a number of bikes, when I want to go for a blast then its the Vendetta. I don't ride her all the time so I might just get eight years out of her.

    V20 frame quality

    Potholes... I can't stand them... I suffer with jetoning bottles. I remember my first build and went 23mm tires with the defacto seats and found the busiest, worst chipseal road you can imagine. It didn't take me long to realise. A. I would need dentures because of all the teeth rattling. B...

    My journey to a V20

    Your story is truly inspirational. Don't get me wrong. I agree the V is one of the most fastest bikes I have ever ridden , its still weighs more than most carbon race bikes. I don't think you give yourself enough credit for your accomplishments. It's the same with Larry. He's awesome as he has...

    BHPC races

    Yep... too many crazy drivers going twice as fast as the yanks on roads that are half as small. So why would you want something that cycles like a bullet? Not only that but there seems to be a stigma attached to recumbents being for overweight people with back issues. The word needs to get out...

    Deep Rims

    Not sure what sealant you use, I found Orange is the best. If you put some sealant around the beads of the tire that would help. If you don't want to go to the LBS TRY inflating with co2 gas. You just need to get the tire to snap onto the rim. You need to take the inner valve out of the valve so...

    Want to trade a Vendetta 2.0 for a Silvio

    I am the same height and oddly enough the 150 cranks feel great and don't weigh so much :cool:

    Little tweaks

    Always first out on the open roads is a memorable one. If it wasn't for the darn clicking noise every time I put a bit of power on the cranks it would have been brilliant. I was out with Juani, and she doesn't like me racing off into the sunlight. I wanted to be slow anyway in case something...

    Little tweaks

    The local cycling route looks great this time of year and the change of camera gear helps too!

    Little tweaks

    Well the 54t daisy cutter has changed to something a little more radical. I haven't given it a thrashing yet as I am a little conservative with my testing and adaptation. Nothing quite like changing three significant things all at the same time and the greatest gift is to be able to clip in...
