    v20 and v2

    On the V20 if you get too low on the BB you are going to be really in an open/flat body position; that might actually make it harder to learn and might adversely affect your ability to product power. Here's the the pre- V20 sizing chart for reference. For the V20 forward; the V20 has more in...

    Will the S30's BB frame not accept 30mm spindle setups?

    Ditto ... and I actually tested the most exotic and thin BB30 External I could find; it was really close but in the end no go. 24mm is the way you have to go.

    v20 and v2

    You can run the di2 on the V2.2 just have to insert a 1.5mm washer between the wheel axel and the fork. You might have to score the inside of the fork just a weee bit with a file, but it will fit and you can run it.

    Latex Larry and the case of blown out tire

    Once the latex is in correctly it should be more durable and more resistant to punctures. The major problem is that they are more fragile when getting them in and mounted and they don't hold air over time. When installing they don't comply and they like to get between the wheel and the tire...

    The last V2k

    Charles and a few others will likely chime in with some good info on low gears. In the meantime a great place to start is the Mike Sherman gear calculator. Charles posted his soft ride configuration some years back; that should be a good starting point for a V2k Click Here

    The V Chronicles

    Midge is equivalent to what I had on the last vendetta with minor difference. Cowbell will likely be Mrs Ratz as it has the shorter reach she needs If Midge doesn't work the Woodchipper might be on mine Nothing settled yet; Until I can install a chain it's really hard to sit on the bike and...

    I sense a disturbance in the 3rd Law

    I've had a lot better luck with the new all carbon upstand, but I always have to fold the fork 180 degrees opposite the side of the of the pole. we'll see how it works on the new v20 as it always worked better on the yellow vendetta than the black silvios.

    I sense a disturbance in the 3rd Law

    It think that is splatter from when the frame end cap (where the headrest goes in) was welded on. I wasn't 100% sure so I didn't attempt to clean it up. As you notice it's right by the triangle assembly so just in case I left it alone. The make those for road bars. I find the get sweaty. I...

    The V Chronicles

    Cowbell MD2 is 515mm Midge is 555mm woodchipper is 635mm The Midge is about the same as the stock CB bars but with a lot more room for big thighs. My legs hit the CB bars if I set up the way I like. The Midge plenty of room; the Midge is pretty much a better Gary2 bar. The Gary Sweeps same as...

    Silvio 2.2 frameset build questions

    Email support@cruzbike.com if they still have some you'd order the 100mm one and then in the comments for the order just specify you really want the 150mm. As near as we know the 150mm was a low demand item and therefore isn't on the website for order. If Robert has some in inventory you'll be...
