Well don't throw it away just yet. I quite often buy things that I can't quite get into and then 6 months later it's perfect. If you get so much enjoyment out of your Cruzbike I am sure it will fit you one day. If the length is too short then I am sure someone on the forum might help out.

I read somewhere that triathlon racers use latex tubes with sealant. But someone in the LBS tells me that I shouldn't use ammonia based sealant like Stan's in a latex tube. How long do I have before the tube degrades?:eek: I also read that latex tubes with sealant in is a better combination...

Definitely. I used 28mm all last year on both front and rear. I used chinook compass pass tires. Very good and would use them again for touring. Not for racing

Well I think I might take Bob's advise and buy 3 XMC X11 SL Gold chains. JensonUSA are selling for $210 but ebay seems awfully cheap. Can anyone give me a link to a chain that I can trust my life with?

Well, this Friday was like a 13th: I got a flat on my deep rim carbon wheel at 25mph ; something I never had so far. So what did I do? Muttered some expletives and very pleased that I was just going straight. I had an inner tube that had sealant in it. But it's been working over a very hot...

OMG... The comfort ventisit seat pad has gone. What happened? Did someone yank it off the bike and ran away with it? Hell no, Hardy mentioned in a different thread about the negative aerodynamics of the ventisit seat pad compared to other options. Well I have been busy today and done the...

I eat a lot of eggs on this diet. A friend pointed to me that my cholesterol level would be high so now with my three eggs omelette I just have the whites of the eggs and one egg yolk. Guess I am getting a little too dedicated!

Remember not to wear earphone in left ear otherwise they will take first place from you o_O

Really enjoyed this. Thanks :)

Looks kind of crazy but it might work. Re the bmx helmet. Can't help but think the weight of it might put me off though. My first adaptation would be to enhance the visor on the giro air attack

I had a great big breakfast; 3 eggs, spinach and trout with mayo on the side... With a cup of tea. Then guess the extra traction on the tires helped. I am down to 75kg. Not sure on other objectives except to lose a kilo a month. Oh the cat ear pro's are in the photo as is the bike of the month.

What's the ventilation like? It's still 28c / 83f here.

I was just reviewing my strava segments today and I am not number 1. There is a new crew in the district and the leader seems to be Mike Evans. I assume he might be the welsh ironman contender. Anyways... He had some company who also did better times than me ... I will be out tomorrow and see...

Lanzarote... Now that's a challenge. I posted many videos using Vimeo ... Very easy and it's free. Try not to take any selfies in Lanzarote :D

Finally got the new tririg omega front brake fitted on the V2. I had an issue with the bolt screw. I needed to add an extra black washer when fitting the brake next to the front fork. The Arms of the Omega didn't have enough clearance so I used the securing bolt nut from the shimano Ultegra...

My idea, as everything is, is if I fear something, then I attract it. LOL I still carry a pump in case someone needs it :rolleyes:

Don't like heavy batteries ... If you threw it out you could end up with a loop wheel If anything happens to me on the Camino del Rey tomorrow , it might be worth having a powered bike. LOL

LOL Only available from April 1st. Good one

World TT was won on a specialized turbo cotton.... Wait for it ... Clincher. Not sure about the tube he used but probably latex. Everyone has their own opinion. If it feels good... Go for it. Interesting stuff about tubulars on this forum. Don't think I will be getting tubulars. More pro's...

I don't get many visitors fly in to see me but today I had my best friend, closest cousin and brother all fly in so I thought I had to greet them at the airport. So why not do it in style? I arrived with the Golden V wearing the new Cruzbike Jersey. My word. Talk about stopping the traffic...
