Great video - What were you riding Jason?

It really depends on the length of your chainstay and your big ring top and bottom. I run 19" chainstay which is standard, and a 53x28 and I think I need 5 extra inches which is 10-links. I am actually just running a standard chain while my others are drying. I just cannot go big-big or it will...

I've done it 3 times in 3 years. Worked pretty good for me. One of these years I'll have a year without an injury - I hope!

Of course I will be there- I'm even thinking of bring the "Prototype Vendetta" I set the UMCA world record Century on with (3:48:10) and let people try and ride it! :) Great video opportunity! Warning - seat at 2% from horizontal! :eek:

Lee - wow 37 mph for an hour! That is quite impressive, especially on 55lb bike! So what is this bike that you "consider one of the fastest production bikes for flat rides."? Do you have you Strava ride to share? I would love to see it and the route your rode, your power, HR, etc. :)

As most people love to mention my "shortness" - (It has been vastly over-shortened by some to "gnome" stature), but in all truth - I am 5'7" on my "tall" days! haha - and the Vendetta with the basic chainstay is about as a perfect fit as you would want. You will be much more areo than those that...

Maria & Jim are doing the Grand Canyon run right now so they might not be available to answer right away. If you are not spending the night, then I do not think you will need to really sign up. Just come by. They usually will have all the models there for viewing and testing. We can set you up...

It is just after 5 am and I am waiting for my flight at the Asheville airport - to DFW. Kind of crazy that Jason will be done with his 500 before I even start my 12-hour! Here are the current standings after a little over 9 hours of riding. Looks like Jason has about 11 minutes lead on Damon...

Here is a link to what they call "live - tracking" - basically you get lap data, but it is better than nothing! http://www.edsresults.com/ttt2017/ As of this posting, Jason started about an hour and a half ago. He came through the start finish at 1:17.51 for the first 26.4 miles. That is...

Nope - I am committed to my little stubby bars for now. I rode them for about 2 hours each day Sat, Sun, & Monday and I felt fine. Of course it will be interesting to see if I say the same thing after 12-hour of riding. Truthfully, I have been riding them so long that when I ride the full drops...

Hope so! Why don't you cover your carbon fiber wheel with "carbon fiber cover" - it has to be stronger and more puncture resistant than cardboard! :D

I get on my plane at 5am Friday, so you should be almost have done when I leave. :D Alvin & I should be on-site by 12 noon or so, so we will be there with Jim & Maria cheering you on and offering any support needed. Crush it! Me..? I am slowly recovering from my crash last Wed night. Last night...

Hey Jason, I use VIRB edit. I am not sure if it compatible with other camera's but seems to me like it should work with one that take the same video format. It used the Garmin .fit file for what it calls the "G-metrix". This is where it gets it information to put the data on the overlays. You...

The chain will chirp or sweek if and when all the wax is gone. That is the signal for me to re-dip it.

haha - Yeah - but where's the FUN in that! :eek::rolleyes:o_O

3 years ago - I spent about $50 for 3 pounds of "molten-speed". Sound like a lot of money, but in that time I have ridden about close to 45,000 miles and have only used up 1/2 pound of the stuff. I re-dip my chains every time I hear them start chirping at me! I know, the guy who tests everything...

I working on that :D But those who risk little, gain little. It is all in expanding the envelope!

The Relentless Pursuit of Perfection! haha When you get the bug, it is really like a never-ending testing project. Now that I am laid up with all this road rash, I though I would try and figure out how to make more power on my V20. Since my Century record attempt on the nearly flat seat angle...

Give it time - It's a nice bike, special paint - someone will pick it up.

Starting my taper for Texas 12-hour earlier than I had planned like a week too early - haha. A huge gust of wind took me down and I slid bad at a the Charlotte Motor Speedway track 2 evenings ago. I was not riding the Vendetta, so she is alright.I got really bad road rash on my left thigh about...
