    Cruzbikes finish 1-2 in Mid-Atlantic Ultrasports Century

    Larry has adapted his technique; he now crashes the week before each event. He's working on the timing I think this time it was 11 days before. :confused:

    Honest you honor; I can't pedal that slow up hill; I'd tip over. I passed him for everyone's safety.

    Uphill battle

    Usually a sign that you have picked a gear or two too low. That gear is giving you too much leverage and you are breaking the tire free for the current conditions, tire size, tire composition, or tire pressure. This is a balancing act, you have to be strong enough to use higher gears when...

    Silvio 2.0 questions ?

    The man on the porche only needs to demonstrate once in a great while what that means. Word of mouth handles the rest. Or in other words just beat the right guy at the right time. :rolleyes:

    New V20 build input

    Yes, as Gary noted just make sure they are both 110BCD for the RED compact, but it can be a hassle to change, with a 34 probably never a reason to remove the 52. There is sizable gear overlap even at that spacing. You can play with them here. Vendetta 12-28 10sp 34x52 Vendetta 11-36 10sp 34x52

    New V20 build input

    12-23/25 for TT then you don't waste watts with the temptation of the 11T unless you are larry-watts-Oz. Tighter gearing. Agreed no problem running the Shimano but the 1099 is mostly solid billet (9 Sprockets); Continuing the Shimano idea, the Dura Ace CS9000 is the bomb but it's only 12-28T...

    First Impressions of the Big Yellow Vendetta V1.5

    1 demerit point for planning a ride schedule that puts a recovery ride on a Sunny Saturday. In the future, as punishment, you will be restricted to riding your soft-rider on recovery rides for the metal health of other locals. I'm still perversely enjoying your geek out journey with the new...

    New V20 build input

    Couple of simple notes. With Cost Deltas over what's listed 1) With Q-rings and the YAW FD; you can shift a 52/34 combo which will give you more top end range. This assumes you have the Qrings setup "in phase" on the same OCP. The 52/34 combo can be acquired as a set from http://twohubs.com...

    Silvio 2.0 questions ?

    It's somewhat wheel dependent. I have one wheel set that worked for an entire year on the new reynolds wheel I have added a single 1mm washer on the drive side between the axle stop and the fork. That's enough to keep the chain from rubbing on the fork and has no impact on the angle of the chain...

    Silvio 2.0 questions ?

    Just to confirm what other said. On the S2.1 frame you can file the paint off and get an 11sp to fit; or you can do like I do on my vendetta and add a thing 1mm washter between the fork and the wheel. In theory you can put it between the wheel and the retaining bolt but that will mess with the...

    Manred, I don't think we have detailed photos of a V20 Di2 build but you should be able to combine the stuff from the Vendetta 2.1 and The Silvio 2.0 to work out the details for a V20. When you are done you should be able to create a very internal routing See Pages 1 and 2 of this thread for...
