    Vendetta versus Silvio on less-than-ideal road surfaces

    Did you try a compressor. If I don't let a folder sit unfolded for a couple of days then on some wheels I've only been able to get them mount the first time by blasting 180 psi into the tire. Other rims work just fine. Don't have a compress then this baby from Bontrager is your best friend...

    Seat Mod

    On the V20 with 25mm tires; the comfort pad helps kill the chip-seal road vibrations. I definitely was more warn down riding the standard version. Anything under 2.5 hours the standard version was fine. Beyond that I would notice. I did about 300 miles of comparative testing. But that's a very...
