    I'm pretty sure that Chineese would require the use of the shift-key. So best to stick to a romance language like German. :p

    I sense a disturbance in the 3rd Law

    That's nominal; costs are about equal. The custom internal wiring and drilling I did adds about 30-60 minutes to the build process for me just because don't like those fragile wires on the outside; and there no internal runs in the chain stay so that has to be drilled out. If I did it repeatedly...

    I sense a disturbance in the 3rd Law

    It think the Shimano Di2 is going to shift better for the forceable future; it's higher force; and it has auto trim. While harder on the batteries it's going to be more reliable especially shifting under heavy load never had any issues with that. Like the sram, the did will shift better on oval...

    I sense a disturbance in the 3rd Law

    My research indicates that the C1 won't clear the Vendetta clamps. That was all web based haven't had one in my hands. Good News is SRAM confirmed my locktite of doom is a known problem with one of the batches; and is replacing the derailleur no questions asked. As for the power meter...

    I sense a disturbance in the 3rd Law

    After a bunch of testing and comparing; the Rotor with the Power2x is offset about 5mm outboard from the standard SRAM stuff; that's far enough to mess with the Derailleurs maximum adjustability way out like that. With Di2 it was always tricky but workable. There are some articles about moving...

    Disk Brake on Silvio?

    You'll really like those wheels. If the wheel-set is 135mm and you get it mounted then you should not have any problem running 11speed (you might have to limit at 12T something like a 12-28T Shimano). On a 130mm hub you have to add a 1-2mm washer and sand off the paint; but the 135 would seem...

    Mark's V20

    Excellent; Like everything else; relax and practice. Going down hill is all about a low center of gravity and relaxing. Since you can't put your weight on your feet it's hard to load downward. True of any recumbent. So on your first hills, focus on putting your weight on you sit bones, let...

    Disk Brake on Silvio?

    I believe Robert has said in the past that 160 was optimal for the front. If going TRP consider the cable actuated hybrid hydrolic one. It is self centering and self adjusting. Will fit the front and back. Have never regretted the ones I put on the quest.

    Just trying to keep the topics useful for newbies; The other thread had good value as it was; and this was absolutely so funny it need it's own thread After it hit 10 posts it really felt like it's own thread. Your post was just the logic place to break it.

    I sense a disturbance in the 3rd Law

    Arms like Arnold Well that's the interesting part. The clearance is the issue. The Rotor crank arm is completely straight and wide. When the Yaw is aligned correctly there is about 1.5mm clearance before hard interference. That's a tad tight for my taste. If I put it on incorrectly I can get...

    Chain WAXing (yes it's that easy) - and other mysteries of this art!

    http://www.amazon.com/LARGE-ULTRASONIC-CLEANER-cleaning-JEWELRY/dp/B00LMF3GTE add some simple green with 3 parts water; and 10 minutes to totally clean parts. Big enough for 3 chains or 1 cassette. Chain rings need not apply

    Chain WAXing (yes it's that easy) - and other mysteries of this art!

    Once you wax and get your system down; it's really hard to do anything else. For the fast bikes I always have a chain ready to go for a swap in; one on the bike and one in a zip lock bag. This year I'll probably start doing all the other bikes that have master links; just do them overnight. A...

    I sense a disturbance in the 3rd Law

    terribly expensive time wise yes. Install Front Derailleur number 2 and the lower stop screw had far too much factory loctite blue on it. 3rd turn of the allen wrench and the head snapped. Many hours later SRAM has me take it to a LBS (where I didn't source it from) and Forces me to run it...
