YES! I noticed that four years ago since I started riding. It's has not gotten better. I am 52 yo, and I have myself checked out yearly. My friends now just automatically ask me if I want to use the restroom whenever we go by one. :) I raised the issue at another forum. Someone mentioned it...

I am planning to make it a fast and light tourer and TBH, all of the changes done to my V20 have been with the TABR in mind. I couldn't register by the deadline on January 31st this year because the quarantine restrictions at that time would have put me almost 2 weeks beyond the 3 weeks plus 1...

...your V20? I find my custom carbon box has plenty of space for anything I need to carry on a day ride. Most of the time all it has is my water bladder, food and personal items such as phone etc. But I can easily fit full winter clothing in there etc. My biggest issue is that I cannot fit a...

Dialing in the hydration storage takes a bit of time. I tried bottles under the seat and behind the head. For short rides up to 100km depending on the temperatures, I go with a 1L Nike bottle behind my head in a triathlon X-Lab Torpedo Kompact cage. Many here seems to agree that that location...

So, my experience is mostly with backpacking and have only recently started to bike-pack. Bike-packing is pretty awesome, however, it made me rethink some of the gear I was using, especially while on a recumbent. One of those pieces was all the tent poles and such that I would normally have...

...get a normal view). The longest bent sheet came first, then the shorty behind the neck to close the gap a bit. Inside it I have a big water bladder that is pressure assisted by some bungee chords. It all works very well. The fairing is functional but easy to make from simple thin carbon...

I’ve never hit the bottle with my calves, but I wondered about that before I tried it. I find 40 oz to be all I need before having to stop, and the bottle is easier to clean and fill than a bladder.

I've taken photos of what I have done so far. I plan to document it.. but if it ends up as a paper weight all bets are off!! :) I have the camelbak bladder. I am not sure if it is different to yours. Mine is completely sealed, so the only way any air or water can get in or out is when you bite...

I've never tried CF before either..... it could be a collosal failure!! Youtube videos make is look OK?? I doubt you could use monokote for the mould. You need something you can apply pressure against to saturate the cloth any work out the excess. I am using styrofoam shaped with a wire cutter...

I think the monokote setup is not for me. It looks too fiddly and fragile for me. And I want the ability to remove/replace. So at the moment I will look towards the more rigid clip on covering like Dyma. When I get it I will do some testing to see if it helps or hinders CdA. My current project...

The Carmel Valley Double Century is a California Triple Crown event hosted by XeDapViet (XDV) Cycling Club. It is a difficult, hilly double that would have been one of the California Triple Crown stage race doubles had it not been for the COVID-19 pandemic. This year the route was an...

Good afternoon fellow Vendetta Riders! After changing my stock seat, I wasn't able to use the hydration system I previously used, so I ended up using a bag mounted to my seat with room for a 2 liter bladder... I didn't like it, because I like to drink cold water. I couldn't keep the bladder...

Recommend some Banana bags from Radical, with this and the water bottle clamp you can buy from Cruzbike means four water bottles being on the bike within reach. EDIT: Just seen the picture and you already have the water bottle clamp.

Well I took the plunge today and took the S4o on my regular 32 mile ride... Two laps of a fairly flat loop (only one bridge to navigate on each lap) and knocked a full 8 minutes off my best ever time on the Bacchetta. I'm sure that once I get totally comfortable with the bike that time will be...

Yeah, sticking a bladder in the Brain Bag (or other brand) behind the head is definitely a good option. I don't mind the water bottles behind the head much at all. Getting them out and putting them in is simple enough while riding, and the 1.5L I can carry in them will get me a pretty far way. I...

There is a photo of my setup in my thread. I am using brain bag (5-600g) with 1.5L bladder and lanyard clip. I can fit much more than the bladder in the brain bag, so it is overkill if just to hold a bladder. Took a bit of getting used do to drink out of the tube, but I have it covered now and...

I am using two 750ml water bottles, and it appears that my 750ml bottles are 80g each, and I would guess that the cages are probably about 25g each. Add the 4 stainless bolts and nuts at about 20g for a total of about 230g. However, the Osprey 2.5L bladder is 168g and the Dueter bag is 390g for...

I am glad to see that I am not the only rider weighing down my bike with all the extra stuff. I have S40, which is heavier to begin with. I have disc brakes, front and rear cameras, computer, little bag with tools/tube/snack, portable charger... around 35 lb. before adding bottled water!! It...

Before the brain bag it was 12kg without a water bottle (with my light wheels and Di2 and moose pack full of emergency spares). Stock wheels were probably about 500gm heavier. Brain bag with bracket another 700gm. 1.5L of water in bladder gets very close to a ride weight of 15kg. Helps me go...

I no longer use the race case for water bottles for that reason. I've launched too many. I know some people have had success with adding tape to their bottles for increased friction. Now I either use the bladder/hose technique or take a rest stop & get a bottle out of my bag.
