I still think about them so they must be cool

haaaa haaaa :D:D:D

Why risky?

Some of us start with a steering dampener that's attached to the handlebars and frame and it's elasticity reduces the amount of twist of the handlebar. So far I haven't fallen off the V but I did fall off a Cruzbike conversion kit I bolted onto a mountain bike. I freaked out with a great big...

Instead of going out and buying a new chain I thought of replacing the fraying front gear cable. It's a little cheaper and move the limiting nut and apply more tension. Let's see what happens when I am out next time. It's what Bob says... A chain should last 8000 miles. Well I don't think I am...

I can see your aero drag is more than mine... What is that bag you have underneath the seat? I am looking for a bigger bag :D I also can't see any magnets on your spokes or rims.... How do you know if you are breaking the speed limit?

That would be great. That guardian article was very good. Thanks

I saw this on the BBC News App and thought you should see it: How graphene could make tyres stronger and lighter Why adding graphene to bicycle tyres makes them stronger and lighter with more grip Bicycle tyre manufacturer Vittoria has added graphene to its tyres to improve their puncture...

Sometimes the Thread Title doesn't come naturally. The ride was the first real ride where I was pushing it after a knee injury after 3.5 weeks. I have now changed my training routine and diet. Recovery rides every other ride which includes stretches. I physically stop the bike, get off and...

Vehicles are annoying. Drivers love to rubber neck when they see something unusual and the Cruzbike is certainly that, especially the Silvio or the Vendetta. Sometimes you have to slow down to force those slow drivers to overtake you o_O

Give her respect and she will serve you well

I can't find any ride reports. I don't want to pass on a lemon that could cause someone to lose their teeth. So I am not going for it. The Vendetta will always be my favorite. If things go wrong with the V you can at least barrel roll out of the cockpit with some degree of dignity and...

It looks like a bargain... they are selling like hot cakes. Now the $2k orders are filled and the $2099 orders are filling up. But still I am resistant. Why the heck do I need one? I have three bikes already... And then if you get a very fast car with not so good brakes then there are issues...

The leopard pro is ultegra di2 with a different type of braking system

Whenever friends come to cycle with me... they are always too slow for the Vendetta so more often or not I am going out on a heavy mountain bike or road bike doing a recovery ride. I always ride the Vendetta fast... it just wants to go. At the end of the ride... sure I am dripping but I have a...

Ok... guess some of you still have the odd DF in the garage. There is a drop dead gorgeous DF on kickstarter from speedx called the Leopard Pro. I just love the idea of doing a big climb on a light bike. The idea too of packing a light bike into a compact carbon suitcase and travelling around...

You just need to have your wits with you as you never know what's going to happen; I have had people say what a great bike and taking pictures of me through the window as they are overtaking me, I have had police doing the same thing with a tailback of traffic, and I have one person tell me to...

I have lost track of the speed and I don't think it's because I have got to the event horizon either. Deep rims take the place of the little magnet used by the speed sensor so I have GPS speed which sucks. So I guess I will have to buy a new speed sensor just for the deep rim wheel. :mad...

Its been two and a'half weeks since I had a knee issue. I have been stretching every day and doing knee strengthening exercises. It's essentially a recovery ride every day and I have felt better not clipping in but just going plain idle on a DF that's lighter than my MTB. So today is the day I...

Usually when I am climbing I sit up and change to the smaller front chainwheel. And also when coming to a stop. When I am stopping I make sure I am in one of the three largest cogs on the cassette otherwise it's a struggle to get going again; especially if you are going up a hill. You do...
