I put a carbon rear wheel on now so the roadies who haven't got mirrors can hear me come up behind them. How does it go??? Whoosh.

Hi Ivan, I got the comfort ventisit seat pad. By 9am it was 29c so its hot where I am. I get up when the flies start to fly (sleep on the terrace) so I don't need an alarm as I get a buzz around my head. I get straight out on the V whilst its cool. So its not really a heat issue with the seat...

The majority of roadies, not a problem. I find the best taking manoeuvre is to accelerate 20 metre behind them so I can overtake them at full pelt. Then I watch with anticipation to see if they take the bait. If they do then I move up a gear and go for it. Its a great way of getting fit. I know...

Hey I really enjoy watching your videos :D:cool:. I had a couple of DF riders today draft off me. They had to work really hard to catch up with me and one of them stayed with me for a couple of miles. It would be really good to be able to spoil the air drag down lower in order to exhaust them...

Pleased to see that you are getting better. I fell off my custom Cruz bike once and didn't like it. I almost have fallen off the Vendetta when learning to clip in. I did buy some cheap carbon fibre handlebars but I thought it would be better idea to run with the delivered aluminium ones as they...

haaaaaa choooo! That bike looks awesome

I have 50mm on the back but decided something less on the front; maybe 30mm. The wind here in the afternoons is epic. The hotter it gets the more of a seabreeze kicks in.

Hey Joe, what sort of video camera are you using to get such great shots? I guess you could dangle a little parachute to make things more interesting.

Hey Suz, what an incredible experience you had! The S30 looks magnificent. I am interested with the set up you have with the headrest, it looks compact and very neat hydration system what ever it is.

My Shimano Ultegra setup is perfect for where I live. If I wanted to do more mountains it would be a struggle. I have only been overtaken by a lowracer M5 on the flat, but looking at his rear cassette I would have overtaken him on a hill. Where I live is mostly flat. Sure I could change the...

I just love the V. I have a number of bikes, the V has its own characteristics: "No Limits" , I can always break my PB if I dare myself. It gives me a total workout. I run it with Ultegra 6800 11 speed groupset. Love the brakes and the Q Rings. It commands respect. Enjoy. I am a newbie at high...

I just love the 17" mac book pro. I could never understand why apple discontinued it. I do however find the Surface Pro 3 much more convenient and pretty sure it will go in that bag too. Where's the video?

Hey, that was a great race report Joe. Dehydration is a real issue, many riders alleviate the condition by using sugoi arm coolers. I am thinking next year of entering some endurance events so I am interested in how everyone prepares. I wonder if there is any type of big tablet that you can...

What a great idea... you could put your bottles on ice. Too expensive for me. Love the concept. Can it be made more simple? The max I would want to pay for something like that is $160 tops. There needs to be a zipper pocket for easy access for the iPhone. As that's what my Topeak Munro bag gives...

They would have literally jumped out of their skins.

Well I read something about tubeless tires being 12 % faster in acceleration. To me that sounded perfect. I now know how to get really dirty and frustrated in a very hot fashion. Ha Ha... summer has come early this year and we are in the upper 30's already... too hot for me to ride in so I...

I am impressed with the red graph. BPM, even going down hill its still above 150! That was some race. Many thanks for the information.

So what is the best cadence rate of going up a 7% gradient? I have Q rings , my knees at 60 RPM are good and I certainly get a good burn in the muscles in my legs... I guess I do it to get my heartbeat up , if I don't get the heart beat up then I am not burning fat quickly and I do cycling to...

I too have been re-evaluating my riding technique following the Jim presentation. I find that I can engage my shoulders more if I lift my head off the head rest. Its a lot easier to do either going up a hill or against the wind. You have more resistance and put into a gear that you have to mash...

Hey Cruzbikers, Its not often I would let some weird stuff near my V, but this stuff does do what it says on the bottle. When I get back from a ride I think, heck it looks as though I have a greasy oil stain on my front strut next to the chain. But its not... its the dirt that has been repelled...
