    First Impressions of the Big Yellow Vendetta V1.5

    Never gets old watching an existing CB rider go through the oh wow the V is just that much more experience. In the beginning I thought I might be over stating it even though the numbers supported it. Since then it just keeps getting repeated. So much fun.

    First Impressions of the Big Yellow Vendetta V1.5

    One trick you can play with is rotating the Pivot clamp 180 degree which give you more boom Settings to play. Point it forward raise the boom and push the handle bars back. Point it backwards towards the rider bring the boom and lowers it. I've been playing a lot with aero testing. I've found...

    Need a Skewer to Fit the Drive Wheel to my Trainer

    Yes we have the DT Swiss on the Vendetta and the Silvio. I like it. Give me a couple hundred miles on them and I'll give you the official thumbs up. It feels just a tad "short" on the front but it's the same length as what it replaced so I just think it's just that I noticed because of how it...

    seat pad question

    On the Silvio I like the Classic; Mrs Ratz has Comfort. The Standard gives me more leg room and is plenty comfortable for me with the suspension. On the Vendetta I prefer the comfort I can ride the standard (I use it for Time Trailing) for for long middle the comfort is better. There is one...

    Electric Quest

    So you could do that. The change would require you to get the wheels redone as 451 or better yet 406's so you could get big apples etc. Then you'd swap out the front chain stay for the shorter version, cruzbike should have them and if they don't I have two in the parts bin. Then Poof it fits in...

    Rim Change on V.2 Sofrider Question

    Shamefully I just read a post from a few years ago where charles and doug discussed using a hair dryer to heat the bottom bracket for easier removal. I will definitely do that the next time.

    This is what I do on Saturday Morning...

    Yes but make that a Kayak park with inverted gravity flow so you can do white water while remaining stationary. They have one of those on the river over in Wisconsin near us. Totally cool, and it's one heck of a workout.
