    Underseat bag for Vendetta?

    A stock SRAM Force brake and Ultegra 6800 Brake will both work without modification. Both have a shorter cable lever arm.

    Photos from Jon follow: Also I believe that's the first photo of a Vendetta with a rain fender on it :confused:

    How I spent my Summer Vacation (an ongoing vendetta saga)

    Final version in the house.... and on the bike. Quick and dirty photos from the Garage. More complete ones when time allows. The photos don't do it justice, Steve out did himself on this project. Install the arm on the bike. (It can angle up or down, on the Silvio Down is optimal, on the...

    My Vendetta adventure

    Really long pre-dial in cable lengths... Same problem can't run a traditional bottle there. The "giant" aero bottle is the only one that I can put there; works good; but stupid expensive thanks to the carbon cage.

    The "Learning to ride a Vendetta" diary

    Great Progress reports loving them. Figure 8's in the car park will solve that; it's still the best solution. You can't have your pudding if you don't eat your meat. Seriously put a bunch of time in doing slow speed maneuvers your brain doesn't have any path ways for coping with the wobble and...

    So you want to train with power on a budget?

    For you I'll include that for free with the meter :)

    My Vendetta adventure

    This is true; and part of the reason a lot of us like the ventisit pads which are more like slippery sandpaper; until you apply the layer of spandex. :p

    My Vendetta adventure

    After you acclimate the seat seems to vanish and it feels like you are sitting in the bike; and not on the seat. Everyone seems to move the boom out 5-10mm after they get comfortable with the ride; it's normal to feel the need to ankle and short pedal in the beginning; so not taping or cutting...

    My Vendetta adventure

    I use a short piece of jagwire liner. It creeped me out too; but has worked flawlessly for thousands of mile on three bikes.

    So you want to train with power on a budget?

    It's that time again. The 6 month itch is here and we did upgrades which of course means you can too. Items for sale this time: Qty 2: Wahoo Fitness Speed/Cadence Sensor BlueTooth Version. $30ea Reason: We went garmin gps and need ANT+ sensors. These work perfectly still. Qty 2: Stages Power...

    Yet another hill question for my Silvio.

    Practicing 1 legged drills will help with that now that you have balance.

    Finally pull the video footage off the fly6 camera and reviewed it was good and stable; the Silvio rear soaks up most of the bumps. The Attachment pole is highly versatile.... Anything you could mount on a traditional bike seat post will work. Spy Photo.

    Q ring upgrade - Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh......

    That would explain it and makes sense.

    Q ring upgrade - Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh......

    Jeremy, I wouldn't change anything if spinning ease was your goal. Based on you confirmed height and x-seam my guess is that you setup correctly and running OCP4 now with it's net effect on improved spinning. If I was setting it up initially I would have thought/estimated your dead spot...

    Q ring upgrade - Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh......

    Ah I see that now 4 is on the bolt. Didn't load the Zoom image on the iPhone. I do have an idea. I'll annotate the photo tomorrow after the fireworks. You can double check your dead spot. Put on street shoes put heel on pedal. Lock out leg, that should be the dead spot or good enough for this...

    Q ring upgrade - Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh......

    That is interesting your 50t doesn't have a mark for ocp5. I didn't know that. Very interesting how your dead gaps are in different places. Engage is preferred as you noted. I put the chain in the middle rear gear on mine and engage and disengage are mirrored images. Perhaps Gary's was a...
