    v20 and v2

    so three rides in on the new large v20 and i thought i would offer up my initial thoughts on the comparison between the new and the old......... not exactly scientific really mere opinion. without doubt the v20 is superior to the v2. and the v2 is better than sliced bread that is still warm...

    Latex Larry and the case of blown out tire

    thank god you are okay Larry. your positive outlook is inspiring mate. plus one on the tubeless caper. i used to be a major user of stans on road and mtn . never bothered with latex tubes. for flat prevention i find that my letting my tyres down periodically and inspecting them pinching...

    V20 to Sweden

    yes ultegra mechanical groupset can be had for $750 if you scout around. only 300g heavier than mechanical durace at twice the price. 105 comes in at around $500 and is a very very good groupset too. i prefer the ultegra 11 speed over the 10 speed sram red or 7900 10 speed durace. it is very...

    The V Chronicles

    mate you are not wrong about that. i am off to do some fishing and see how i go. i may just have to pull rank as the senior cyclist. at ride number 14 I am heartily sick of the DF's novelty value. it sat for so long i had to recable it. it is not getting any more comfy with use. it is just...

    The V Chronicles

    yes the shorter reach and wide tops are what is attractive to me about the cowbell 2. i guess like anything it is just a matter of trying it out. i like the idea of being able to bend my elbows a bit when transferring hand position from fully extended top of hoods back to the drops. i went...

    I sense a disturbance in the 3rd Law

    yes i had the same spatter on the v20 core frame but left it alone as well. makes it a cut hazard for frame storage items and hands so i will either sand sharps down or avoid frame storage items. i noticed over time the velcro strip on the v2 frame eventually came loose with repeated removal...

    The V Chronicles

    so at this stage ratz are you favouring the static seated hand position of the midge over the cowbell 2 ?? being slim with chicken legs i can cope with 440mm wide bullhorns. that is what you rode slim when you had a go on my bike. so likely i could cope with 44cm salsa cowbells. going to...

    I sense a disturbance in the 3rd Law

    bob i saw some weld spatter on some of the pics of the frameset . this spatter was inside the frame where the rear triangle connects so not really spatter as it emanates from outside weld to inside frame. i noticed the same too. but it was not present on the v2. did you find similar...

    vendetta on rollers.................. another skill universe. very impressive . Matej the Kurt Kinetic rock and roll fluid trainer may be your answer rather than reinforcing the ceiling joists. ..............but i think.... (with due deference to the poor sods weather/time bound trainer...
