    Get those video cameras going

    Ok this is a call for videos. I'm going to make a really nice action video this fall / winter of "you" riding your cruzbikes. That is if you contribute video to the project. What I don't want: 1) Scenic footage of your feet, legs and the road in front of you. What do I want: 1) Nose...

    Spam problem

    Just any update on the spam problem. I've been granted the limited ability to dispatch the spammers to join zod in the phantom zone. I'm pretty ever present (surprised aren't you) but I do sleep. if you use the report button it takes me about 10 seconds to deal with them when I visit the forum...

    First 200km brevet and new plans...

    One thing I should mention, to build a Silvette you'd need a Silvio and a Vendetta 2 front end, @Robert Holler mention that the rake and trail on the new V20 fork is different making it twitchy when installed on a Silvio or a Vendetta 2, therefore it would be unsuitable for building a Silvetta...

    Haters going to hate

    Duncan, We've all been there. You have to consider the history of the sources. The latest thread over there has two people that "at times" are quick with there conclusions. One was gushing about his Silvio and generally making me cringe every-time he went to far over the top about the Silvio...

    Silvetta would climb better if you ware someone that creates more power in a closed hip position. If I recall correctly @scabinetguy enjoys his on hill rides.

    Rohloff SPEEDHUB Silvio S30 v2.2 Build

    Tire askew photo. ....Assuming tire is square based on front form photo then...... . Loosen the BB "cup clamps" at the top of your chain stay. Fix alignment. Retighten the clamp ¼ turn past hand snug. Oh and nice work!!!!

    Vendetta arrived work in progress

    ok good :) I thought I was getting thick and sending out the wrong message. Speaking of Dimmers that's my favorite design feature on the light; in Steady mode the button by default toggles between Level 3 and 5 basically the same as a car. Unfortunately on the vendetta I don't have a good way to...

    Vendetta arrived work in progress

    I'm standing in the choir next to you. I carry a lamented card that has all the light settings documented for all the various types of rides I do and what power output to run. The photo I posted is indeed at night at full power but was only taken to illustrate the shaping of the lights. Having...

    Vendetta arrived work in progress

    I was mostly be a smarty pants... but.... Best I can get is 104 hours on my rear without battery change; and 43hour on my front, so I would have to carry 1 spare battery currently to get those hours. So Qty 3 5600mAh batteries would do it; not sure how the weight compares but I bet it's...

    chain stay measurement please

    Yeah that's about what I normally do; basically reverse of the glide and slide mount. I clip out at about 5mph; bend my knees 90 degrees and sit up; then apply brakes put feet down and stand up; the bike then just rolls forward and I'm standing over it. I have a far hard time getting out if I'm...

    Vendetta arrived work in progress

    Wrap the mirror right on to the brifter hoods; works great and you'll get better visibility. It's pretty easy to get them into spot that doesn't interfere.

    First 200km brevet and new plans...

    That can be a tricky question as not a lot of people have compiled miles on both. Since you are talking Brevet's where a ALOT can happen that is variable, I think, you need too look at broad data. This screen shot shows my modest ride data on both bikes since first getting on the cruzbike mbb...

    V Boom Restraint

    Absolute best reason for the dampener, always liked gary's solution for that. You won't need six months. If you are strong enough to ride 500 miles on any bike, and you, silly as it seems, put 5-6 days into doing the drills we pointed you too, then there is no way you won't be able to do 500...
