Does anyone use loctite blue on these clamp screws?

I notice too that I don't have sore knees after 70km so I think that's down to the Enduro XD-15

After loosening the chain stay cup clamps fantastic, smooth as silk. I have tightened it but a little concerned about it not being overtight. Do the chain stay cup clamp gaps in the photo look about right?

Yep... Took the chain off and span, but it wasn't totally free but better than it was after the install. Not sure of the mystery of the dried milky fluid shown on the photo that drained from the BB. The Bearings sound a little when I spin so not sure about things. Will check on point 2 when...

The couple of rides did something ... However crank doesn't spin like in the video... Guess either I get the tools and do it myself or it goes back to the LBS.

Pleased you did well. Congrats :cool:

(Well forget about the BB that I fitted). That certainly helped. Liquid that you might find in the V will certainly be less weight to carry, when you try to beat the Strava KOMs and PBs. You will find by doing the suggested that most of it will drain. I don't cycle in the rain so I guess it's...

Turn it upside down for a night and then turn it right way up and see what happens. Certainly works for the Vendetta 2.0!

Finally got the Enduro XD-15 ceramic BB fitted, OMG the bike doesn't seem to be such a grind. Broke 5 of my PBs on strava and I wasn't racing. It was a transitional ride. No kidding. You want to improve overnight without having to lose a pound or two, buy one of these. Fantastic.:D RWC@...

Jason, being a pioneer is an adventure. Be careful. You have changed the airflow over the back of the bike with what you have done. Try to get an idea of the bike's reaction with no wind and with a side wind and with the apparent wind of you going 70mph down that great big *#%+*^ hill...

Ok... Perhaps I will try this. How far were your couple of rides? Perhaps 200km? My new ceramic BB spins but not anything like in the video. The thought of taking it apart is not appealing but I don't mind going for a couple of rides. I think it's just greased up and needs a bit of a vroom to...

Well, BB is fitted but the LBS has over tightened it so it doesn't spin like the video or should I ride it for a bit and then try the spin test?

Gosh... That's a clever idea. That must improve timings for sure. Love it. :cool::cool::cool:

Looks good but no side exit for those that need to bail out. Love the design. If the wheelbase was longer I reckon it could become even more aero than the V and it's even got the speedplay pedals. I certainly give it the thumbs up :cool:

Sebring ... That's like 5 months and two weeks away. A lot can happen by then.

Light bicycle.com will give you a ceramic hub if you ask for it. They are very accommodating... They are going to be doing tubeless rims soon. I am very pleased with my deep rimmed wheel. Word of caution: don't bother with their rim brakes. I replaced mine recently with Swissstop's black...

I have been thinking about wearing a triathlon one piece, I have heard that the padding in them is a lot less than for Riding shorts so they are good to run and swim with. However, are they too hot? On the V my back gets really hot and the thought of riding with a type of wetsuit is not...

I saw the video of the crash. That one seems impossible to escape from , from that side of the road. Perhaps it had been wet earlier on and there had been some surface run off. Larry did well to get back on the V. At that speed on a DF I don't think many riders would have continued. Get well...

It does say a lot to the design of the Vendetta. Had it been a $12k Carbon DF the injuries would be a lot worse and quite a big hole in the pocket. But the little handlebars offers little stability. Perhaps it needs an emergency pop out bars that you can grab if something goes wrong. On the...

Haaaa ... I better stop wearing my Vite Racing top. Funny world. The odd thing is I ordered my Cruzbike jersey a week ago!
