    Neophyte in need of Vendetta V20 setup help...

    You might have to back the head rest out a bit; hard to tell from the angle but it looks like it pushes the base your neck up and tips your head up. If you back it out; the neck and shoulders will be able to drop into the void, and tip your head forward so you can get the double chin effect we...

    RAAM time to spread the word again about 3000 miles to a cure

    Yeah that guy for from Seattle in the pace line I bet you recognize him... Thanks for the typo catch; I've read the text too much to spot a moose if it was pinch hitting for a mouse.

    RAAM time to spread the word again about 3000 miles to a cure

    As Larry starts his tapper and I start to pack up all the RAAM gear it's time to spread the word about all the hard work people have been putting into this effort. There are two teams racing this year; 4dudes and the Crubike team. Right those 4dudes are killing us on the donation smack down...

    "The New Silvio is Coming"

    Should be 132.5 as it shares the front end and new chain stay with the v20's not 100% sure but really it's the only standard that makes sense for a bike that can take a disc or rim brake wheel.

    Change Quest 2.0 to 3.0?

    It's lighter; I weighed it two years ago; if I recall it was 2/3 lb.

    Nohands riding and starting.

    Since you have a QX start practicing on that. Tips: 1) Do it coasting at first. 2) grab the handlebar riser with your knees to help stabilize the nose when first learning. 3) Go "dead leg" let them just hang there that dampens the front end 4) Work on slow putting your arms down by your hips...

    "The New Silvio is Coming"

    Ok well since the cat is out of the bag here you go. I have it on good authority that eventually there will be a performance upgrade option for the existing v20's. No time lines and RAAM looms large. So understand how inventories work on niche products and keep checking the accessories page and...

    "The New Silvio is Coming"

    Nope BSA 68 English. Which gives the widest compatibility with cranks. Personally I think you'll find all the other standard are oem lock-ins or attempts to compensate for carbon composite problems. The big win here is all shimano hollowtech, SRAM gxp, external bearing bb30, and square taper work

    You all need to go back and look closer at the photo from the wind tunnel article ;) It was even more obvious if you knew what to look for on a particular facebook photo from the A2 sessions.

    Blog post will reveal the finer details in a few days; just a little more waiting; unless of course you fancy a color in which case based on the T50; I'd say act fast. :cool:

    V20 max tire size

    Hi Ed72, Welcome to the forums. The standard guidance is that with old school RIM with an inner rim with of 13mm=15mm you can mount a typical 7000x25c tire with a tube. With rims in the 17mm-19mm you can definitely mount a 700x28c if you go tubeless on a proper rim you might be able to squeak...

    S30 disc 'fast' driven-wheel recommendations.

    Sounds like a good choice and economical enough to be the basis for eventually having too many wheels.

    Chain Skip

    In my garage this usually means the master link is not seated correctly; crank the link clean inspect and reinstall.

    "The New Silvio is Coming"

    Yep, a S30 is a Silvio but a Silvio in not necessarily an S30.... :) That should make the last group of fence sitters very happy. Mark everything I know is that it's the same 45degree angle; no new math here unless you odd size wheel combinations :)
