    Reverse Angle of me riding V20

    yes looks like you did not slow down at all larry. i stop pedalling when i reach for my hydration hose especially on the bends those handle bars look hair raising. i would imagine once you got used to them they would be fine but would not tolerate any nodding off the job. the track looks...

    Silvio S30 for sale in Baton Rouge - SOLD

    nooooooooooooooooooooo. ride both. it is fun to swap between platforms. going from mbb to trike is easier than df to mbb. vortex not as comfy as vtx or 700. run a 25mm tyre and schwalbe 1 is being released as a 20" best wishes. sad to see you go.

    Hare and Hound

    my point was that aero beats weight. so nothing stopping anyone buying a superior bike right like our vendettas. however it does not change the fact that i am now "beating " superior cyclists because of the bike rather than my improved performance. i can like all of us ride a vendetta faster...

    New challenge

    ahh audax rides love em. a. agree sounds right i also carry a cut down strip of old tyre in case of a slashed tyre and a spare quicklink. and i just use a pump if i get a flat which out of the city limits is really unusual. bike maintenance or the lack of it will be very pertinent out on a...

    chasing the next target is fun so is passing and burning them off. but it is hardly fair........ it just feels so good. tsk tsk testosterone. ahem. velodromes are ho hum boring round and round and did i say round. but a trainer and a velodrome are great for a workout if this is what you want as...

    Thursday Night A Ride: Lowrider Unchained (July 23, 2015)

    enjoyed the video. well done. i too find anything over 100psi to harsh and run 90psi with 25mm tyres. comfort is everything and the most important factor from which everything else flows.

    Drivetrain suggestions?

    hi hi larry and everyone. i note your great success with shorter cranks and your extensive testing. as stated it is personal for crank length. i have found that spinning is of course beneficial especially for climbing but my cadence is naturally lower. this may be as you say due to the crank...

    Vendetta V20

    having a bike that fits you comfortably is all and should be key to your decision. i have not ridden a 1.5. if you enjoy tinkering and putting things together and have the budget then buy new. if you dont like tinkering and like a bargain and the aesthetics of the old yella then second hand...
