I rode the "Hotter than Hell Hundred" yesterday. This is a 100 mile ride in north Texas with about 14,000 riders. They also have shorter distances. It is a huge event, with a trade show, mountain bike race, crit races, 100 mile race/ride, and I think there is also a half marathon the day...

I've got about 500 miles now I've got about 500 miles now with my "Brain box tray" and it's worked very well. Looks like the Bachetta Brain Box is the same as your X-eyed bag, except mine is yellow on the sides. My Bachetta Brain Box bag even says "X-eyed" on the top. I originally...

Tuloose, Read this When I got my Vendetta, the Scissor clamp acted the way you describe...I couldn't get it to "spread". Then I took it apart and turned one of the pieces around the other way, put it back together and it started working that way.

No, it should not.   There is No, it should not. There is a "spreader" that goes in between the headrest tubes where it is inside the frame. The spreader pushes the tubes out against the frame. You should also have some rubber (looks like 1 inch pieces of tire tube) around the headreast...

Today I rode a 100K (actually it was about 65 miles) with a 19.3mph average! That's a record for me. I did it on the Vendetta 2.0. It was a fairly flat ride, but there were some hills. http://ridewithgps.com/trips/1606299

Andrew, I am surprised to Andrew, I am surprised to hear you had two flats in one week on Gatorskins. I've got Gatorskins on my V, and I had them on my old DF and never flatted on either (maybe 3500 miles combined between them). I've got GP4000's on my SIlvio and have had 3 flats in about...
