I'm hoping to use the KICKR I'm hoping to use the KICKR the cold half of the year to maybe get to a 75 cent body :-)

This was in a Mini (original This was in a Mini (original not the Beemer clone) in the Costwold area of the UK - big storm blew in suddenly with huge wind gusts and sent a metal rubbish bin lid flying like a giant had heaved it as a discus right into the left front fender just below the...

Alright mister let the trainer wars begin Of course you get more for the KICKR. At 46 pounds, it weighs 12 pounds more than your wimpy 34 pound Lemond Revolution so if we both did bench presses with our trainers I would get more of a workout mister! Or if I dropped my KICKR on your head...

Oh that looks like fun, Oh that looks like fun, except for the chipseal and the cattle guards... I wonder where they were riding? -Eric

Vendetta on a KICKR The Wahoo KICKR works quite well with a Vendetta. I'm still assembling the V, but at the request of Wahoo Murray, here are some photos of how it works. That stand at the back is not necessary. I just put it there to check the fit as it just arrived today. It is an...

Small vs Medium Vendetta Hey John, I think you are going to want a medium frame if you are 5'8" with a 40" xseam. I have a 32" waist with fairly decent sized thighs and I find the cockpit is pretty snug with the medium frame the way I currently have the pivot cage and steerer tube top...

Small vs Medium Vendetta Frameset Lisa said: Basically, Jim made the decision for me after seeing a small frame in person for the first time. Apparently it is a lot smaller than he expected and as I mentioned, we met in person in February as well as Jim and Maria seeing me riding the Quest...

Bottom bracket assembly This is how you assemble the bottom bracket (BB) into the chainstay assembly with the external BB bearing clamps. Note, I am assembling a SRAM Rival groupset. First you align the BB housing in the boom inside the chainstay mounted clamps and only then start...

Lesson #1 Don't push the slider too far into the boom Do NOT push the slider as far into the boom as it will go as it will probably get stuck! I'm short at 5 feet 6+ inches. I used to be about 5 feet 7 inches when I had more hair. My inseam is 28 or 29 inches and my xseam is 38 or 39 inches...

Tim (igolfat8, luthier, et Tim (igolfat8, luthier, et al), I am a bit over 2 hours drive from you. I don't have a Silvio (yet), but I do have the new Vendetta that I am in the process of building out. I also have a loaner Quest v2 with 26 inch wheels (until I get the Vendetta rolling...

The Aero 67s are 700C wheels The Aero 67s are 700C wheels offered as purchase options for either the Silvio or Vendetta, or if you want to buy them for some other bike for that matter. The quandry now is they are currently only configured for rim brakes. Now that the Silvio and Vendetta...

Teaser for the next Teaser for the next episode: Hmmm, I have a 38 inch xseam... I wonder how this is going to turn out? Hint - John creates very, very clever designs. I have to take some more photos to better describe the ways to adjust fit while...

Yep, environmental alarms Yep, environmental alarms went off the other day for the cooling in the datacenter I run so it has been a bit hectic. I've also managed to get the slider stuck in the boom and have been working with John, Jim, and Doug on resolving that issue. I'll post more soon...

Mine is the final production Mine is the final production version but I understand John is working on a proper carbon fiber seat to better suit the new Vendetta. As far as this thread goes, I'm doing it to help the next person who gets a Vendetta or is thinking about getting a Vendetta as...

David Wolfe carbon fiber plans built XR2 Dave Wolfe finished his XR2 build and has moved his website: http://roguelsr.wordpress.com/ And posted his first ride video: I purchased a set of these XR2 plans. One of these days I would like to combine some of this idea with a Cruzbike...

OK, it isn't a Silvio but OK, it isn't a Silvio but I've gotton the Quest up to 36.2 mph (58.3kph) or 35.7 mph (57.5kph) depending on how you measure it. I use an iPhone 5 running Cyclemeter to track my ride data and upload to Ride With GPS. I really, really like Cyclemeter. I also have a...

Fine by me. I was using v3 Fine by me. I was using v3 because Jim had already used v1 and v2 in his Vendetta videos and here on the forums so I figured this one was v3. John, I like the way you guys do things and the help you offer everyone. Frankly your FWD MBB design is what originally...
