OK, thanks Tim and Ratz. At 1.48 watts vs 0.31 watts - percentage wise, that's a big difference, but it's only 1.1 watt's difference. But I'll always wonder about it until I try, so I guess I will. Crossing my fingers for that "OK, I get it now" feeling.

Thanks guys. So, this looks really cool and I am pretty tempted, but I have to ask - what kind of difference do you think I'll notice stepping up from my Ultegra BB?

Hi all, I've just noticed some ticking noises coming from the bottom bracket on my Silvio 1.5 (this http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/us/en/shimano-ultegra-6700-bottom-bracket/rp-prod38998 is what I have now). The noises have been getting a little worse lately, so I guess it's time to...

One minute isn't so bad, but two minutes does start to feel like a forever! Sometimes I'm happy for the rest though. I think I'd get bored riding in circles/ovals on a track though - I like the change of scenery of a ride on the streets.

I feel lucky to be in a (mostly) cycling friendly area. They don't use the wires in the pavement very much anymore where I live. They use cameras now. So I rarely have to wait more than a minute or two for the light to change.

Hey Steve - I used to have magnet sensors. You're right, they work great and are pretty much maintenance free. But I think the wires and zip ties are ugly. So last year I bought a Garmin 200 (the smallest and cheapest one they have). It sits right smack in the center of my handlebars...

Mark, you may find that the headrest elevates your head too much no matter what position you slide it in/out to. It sounds scary, but several of us (including Maria) have cut a section out of the headrest tubes so that there isn't as much vertical rise in the headrest. Another thing you...

Wow! Looks great, Rick!

Oh, I thought you were talking about a Vendetta. Sorry, I can't help you. I can't wrap my head around how a bike would handle with backwards forks. Normal forks work good enough for me! :-)

Seems like a good theory - it might make a difference as you are getting used to the bike. But honestly, once you get used to the bike, pedal feedback won't be a problem. My advice is to get a set of pedals and cranks that you like, because that's what's going to matter in the long run.

I don't think there is enough room for the bag behind the stock seat on the V. The back of the seat is too close to the tire. You need to get your bag up behind the headrest (like some have done with a Bachetta Brain Box) or off to the sides/bottom like those in the accessories page.

Soldierblue, the inner 30T ring of an Ultegra triple has "tabs" inside of the mounting holes that go too far in towards the center of the ring to be mounted on a Vendetta. But you can cut them off and it works fine. At least it did on the Vendetta 2.0. I'm not 100% certain but I'd bet...

Rick, I have a Bachetta Brain Box behind the seat on my V - in the same position that you are building your carbon fiber box. I don't use water bottles at all. I put a camelbak bladder in the box, and the end of the drink tube just sticks out just enough to grab it. When I want a drink, I...

So.....this is a little weird. I didn't actually start this thread. I commented on another one. Did some moderator break it off because I went too far off topic?

It kinda reminded me of the "power of commas" joke: Let's eat Grandma! vs Let's eat, Grandma!

Haha. This is even funnier than you meant it, Larry! You just said "I have 28 anuses". Año = Year. Ano = Anus. :-)

I can fit either my Vendetta or my Silvio 1.5 in a Toyota 2012 RAV4 without having to take off any wheels. I fold down the back seats. I put the bike in back wheel first , laying it down on its side with the handlebars turned 90 degrees so the handlebars are down and the BB is up. Fits...

I used this tube to go in the headrest. I wanted something thick enough so that I only had to fold it once (like an 'n') not 3 times (like a 'M') inside the headrest : http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000XEX66S If I did it over, the only thing I would do different is try to find a tube with...

That's cool, Robert, but all that buzzing following me around would drive me nuts!

It's easy to sit up for short periods of time. I sit up whenever I want to see better, or sometimes on short, hard climbs.
