Ok some details of this winters upcoming project. Took delivery of 2 Thor Medium seats in August and a copy of Rick's mounting kit to play with. Goals: 1) Create an easy to recreate and make mounting kit for the Thor Seats on the V20 2) Get the seat as low and true to the original seat height...

Perfect starting point. They would however make the seats too high for aero. So I modified them I now have two standard blocks that mount with Velcro and two bolts. With that most of the v20 frame engages the seats. Rear wedge unmodified, front removed 5mm to allow attachment with Velcro. Abs...

The fletcher HR limited phase is just to give people time to loose a little weight and get their trainers tuned up; we found last year that jumping right into the FTP stuff cause problems for people to debug; I've got some RAAM weight to loose before rebuilding base so that influenced this and...

This Details in January

I’ve been noodling a 650b vendetta for a bit of aero advantage. Tire selection is bummer. That is the main obstacle.

Center lock really only better if you Constantly have to replace rotors. Raam bikes were front disc rear rim. Something to consider. All braking power comes from the front. Pre anti lock brakes how many cars had rear disc???????

Correct. Easiest to just say drive wheel and non drive wheel 100mm is mostly still universal 130-135mm drive wheels will work. All QR at this time. But I bet within 2-3 years we will see a through axel. Makes total sense to head that direction. For rigidity. ((Carbon fork,boom, and through...

For the wide range cassettes this is the info you need about what works with what. http://cruzbike.com/forum/threads/sram-brifters-rear-d-etc.11166/

Setting up Disk Brakes means you have to get them close; the loosen the entire mounting and squeeze them and then screw them into place. In my travels I've notice that people think there is a correct position for the entire brake assembly and then it never moves. Align disc brakes requires first...

TRP Sprye, TRP RD/HY, and SRAM Red Hydralic all known to work; getthing the right adapter is key, learning to install the offset is a must and on rare occasions if you have a larger than normal weld on the frame some minor but normal filing; (aluminum welds sometime aren't as small as they...

That's a challenge; The Crew road all of RAAM on a 50/34 x 11x32 combination. You should have no problem fitting any of the 50x34 - 11x40 combos if needed. Rear derailleur selection will be your biggest obstacle to get correct as mixing MTB and road Derailleurs is getting harder. We do have...

BSA68, Threaded English. Mostly external bearing cups. Square taper if you can get the new chainstays that we used on RAAM. I believe they are going to be standard issue on the new v20 but I do not have confirmation on that; nor if the new additional size are avaialble. Someone that's built an...

Zero :)

The A67, isn't available any more as far as I know.

I like to remind myself that when I cross 40mph that 32-35mph was all I could stomach on a DF and then I grab some brake and convert danger to waste heat..... unless it's a race where they won't let us on the podium and then.... errrrr. ... never mind.
