    Using a Vendetta with an indoor trainer PROs & CONs

    Friction trainers work fine other than being a PITA to mount. Kurt Kentic's work well. Remember to put the fly wheel to the Back side of the tire not the front. It will look funny but that's the correct way.

    Encouragement for Vendetta newbies

    since most of the rest has been said I'm going to beat my drum on one point. Go to the the parking, do your slow speed drills become zen with the bike at 2-4 mph get good at things that would be impossible at speeds over 10mph. When you can do that and do it well no matter what. You can then...

    Look what I found under my tree for Christmas....

    Seems to be one test missing. find a Hill that is generally sheltered from the wind and about ½ mile at 4-6%. Then TT up the hill on the bikes. I suspect 3 runs per bike should suffice. 9x3=27 days to complete. :)

    What I learned building out a pair of 2016 V20 Vendettas

    Doug, If I could have only one it would be the Silvio for the versatility. The V is about the need for speed. If I had both in the garage the one I would regularly upgrade is the V. The problem with only owner the Silvio is you will lust in the back of your mind for that extra 1-2 mph...

    Bullhorn and Dropbar Options

    That's the stock mounting RFLKT bracket and 2 zip ties that it ships with. But frankly in today's market the best bang for the dollar has to be the Garmin 520 which is only slightly more than a RFLKT and vastly superior

    I sense a disturbance in the 3rd Law

    The cave is live and well with trainers and bikes. Just lacks walls, doors, ceiling, flooring, but we have extension cords and lights.

    10,000 miles on My Silvio 2.1 time for a headrest mod!

    Mirrors go on at the bends of the bar; they work but take a little getting use to. I've ridden the same bars and drops on the same bike for a full season each. The bull horns are more stable once you adapt to them and less prone to random steering input, but they are more difficult to learn...

    I sense a disturbance in the 3rd Law

    That will depend; the plan is to follow you down the road and see what falls off the back of the car and how many :p

    Quest on Trainer

    Hi Jen, The IGH isn't compatible with the Kinetic even with the small wheel adapter because the click box interface is in the way of the mount points. That's going to be true of anything other than rollers. You have some options To make it work With the Kinetic 1) You will need the small...

    I sense a disturbance in the 3rd Law

    I think I might have to modify the laws. SRAM has again delayed shipping of Etap that's putting a serious cramp in this winter's project schedule. I finally finished the great move from house A to house B project come up for air and darn it; delayed again. (btw Eric and Rick will no doubt find...

    Need help building up a Silvio 1.5

    Robert will need to tell us if he has any or if they are the same as the one on the Silvio 2.x series. If they are the same I have 4 or 5 in the parts bin and I could shoot one over to you from MN.

    Bumps in my rim

    Those are dents from bottoming out the rim from to low of tire pressure on something like a train track or pot hole. You can potentially roll that out with a wooden wallpaper seam roller; but I don't very much that they will have seal tubeless again. They will work fine with tubes in all...

    What I learned building out a pair of 2016 V20 Vendettas

    To get more reliable shifting and chain wear; I'll use 3 chains to make 2 (or 5 to make 4 for a waxing rotation);. Going with that approach I crack the chain is such a way that the master links are more opposite each other on the chain circle. When the master links are as close as pictured here...
