ratz your tips should be a sticky. it is invaluable information. your patience and good will should be bottled.

this year the pro pelaton teams are able to trial disc brakes in two uci sanctioned events of their choice but not a major tour. next year it is six from memory including a major tour event so possible we shall see discs next year at the giro. le tour or vuelta. 2017 reported as no...

pre-ordered the new hard core edition v 20....... oh i am jealous. i am sending over the orks. :)

hi rick i have the park tool cc-2 with the cam mechanism. on a brand new chain it measures usually .5 . when i am able to measure .75 (75% worn out chain and recommended to change for 10/11 speed systems) i change the chain. i am counting on four chains for each cassette and my most pop. chain...

flat tyre front :use a type 2 sram rear mech with cage lock makes it easier. use wax based lubes if getting your hands dirty is a problem. sweaty knicks should always be black so no prob washing your hands. just watch what you put finger prints on....... commuting tyres: tannus solids. i would...

"going meeep meep meep." randy newman song a diminutive low blow hit unlike LARRYS BIG ACHIEVEMENTS. some very interesting discussion on angles of the dangles abound. interesting how most of the pro riders are relatively short but there are of course some big exceptions. sir bradley take a bow...

great work great team congratulations to everyone involved. brilliant effort.

hamish i started with the heel on the pedal method. once i learnt the basics i started pushing out the boom in a bid to make my knees happy in 1 cm increments. eventually i needed to pull it back in a bit.it now sits about 50mm from my start point. here i found the sweet spot for me. maybe you...

Rick there are diamonds aplenty here in this forum and you are one of the shiny ones. we are so lucky to have such a resource from a forward thinking company. i have benefited so much in so many ways from the likes of yourself who are so giving. enjoy the amazon.

hi mike. like yourself (april 2015 6000klm so far) i am still learning about myself and the giving cruzbike vendetta. i too am learning the old one handed adjust your clothing/scratch your nose at leisure routine. i have not learnt to take out a water bottle but rely on a hose based system. this...

yes rick the cheapest insurance for longevity of chainrings and cassettes you can get is to buy yourself a chain check tool. if the chain wears too much pretty soon it is sending teeth forward on chainrings and cassettes. next the chain can actually slip if it gets bad enough. then you will need...

definitely time rick. i average 3000klm out of a road bike chain and 9000klm on the trikes.

i do try to let them go i really really do. but if they have not been reciprocal to my good natured hello well then it seems the vendetta shows them a turn of speed with a smile of alacrity. of course i am flawed and one day i will be able to ride without such stupidity. maybe when i am...

fantastic that your own personal style of cruzbiking is developing well. i think that all of us would have our fine motor nuances for how we exactly ride our cruzbikes. today after more than 6k on the bike i still when starting do not clip in and sit up as habit. only when i am moving do i lay...

superb effort congratulations on an epic.

i would pay attention to ratz and add the following. out of the kmc x10 sl gold chain so far i have over 6000klm and it is still got plenty of life left according to the park tool. so chains last longer on the v being out of the crud. consider an xtr shimano 11-36 cassette good value and...

fantastic work well done duncan. i have the second last yellow and was worried about the last one finding a good home again. i nearly called the RSPCA i mean B :) it took me a 1000klm to get a licence now i have over 6000klm and the bike is as agile as anything i have ever ridden. it just takes...
