    Bullhorn and Dropbar Options

    Correct if you have R2C don't try modifying them. It won't work; and for the price of them you can afforad Di2 at that point IF you are starting with a groupset purchase from scratch. All the other SRAM bar ends can be modified per my instructions. If and when I upgrade our quests this handle...

    First Silvio ride was a wash...literally

    Whee pedaling is lumpy then you are either not starting from the correct OCP -or- you are on the one number that is unrideable on our high BB. I have one number that's unrideable; it's number 3. I suspect (no proof) that each of us has 1 number that just doesn't work. 1,2,4 are good for me, 3...

    Not sure I could get my hands steady enough to shoot a bike to bike 120fps slow mo. Probably would have to do a fixed camera on a tripod and do some drive-bys. but it's a fine idea; Until this version will have to do :cool: But it would be nice to get something like this from the road for...

    Introducing the Cruzbike Underseat Scarab Bag

    Excellent; she's got a work supplied 2012 Macbook 15" which is really 14.25" x 10" I would suspect that one is still pretty common given the powerful 13" ones haven't been out that many years yet.

    Need input for possible new Cruzbike product

    First thing; I love the idea behind this; and can see the elegance just from the drawing. My guess is the carbon fiber is the cost driver; sexy but always expensive. We all know that CF is the difference between an $80 bottle cage and a $8 dollar on. Finding the right fab place would be key to...

    Needing help with Vendetta

    I believe Eric had to get a replacement boom as his was permanently wedged. This was one of the reason the design was changed with the V20. Not the only one but one of them. So.... If it's oxidized then Ammonia is what you need. If it's just wedged then heat expansion would do it. Probably...

    On the way to a wedding reception....

    Yeah well you saw the Armstrong-est "Look" she gave me when she realized I was filming her and then she proceeds to drop me like I'm standing still, she's a little camera shy I have to be sneaky about it.

    Needing help with Vendetta

    Ah ha. That might mean that the slider was pushed too far in; because of the bend in the slider it can actually get wedged/stuck; you might have a whole lot of extension that you haven't been able to access. This happened to Eric Winn when he built his and documented. The rest of us learned from...

    Needing help with Vendetta

    Point pivot clamp so that the bolt hole is towards your body. This clamp has two position towards BB and towards handlebar. Towards seat/handlebar raises boom. And gives more clearance. Connect boom at bolt hole that place handlebars closest to seat. This will NOT be the last hole. Loosen bolt...

    Helmet with visor?

    This one is always hard to make recommendations on since everyone is so different. I use Rudy Project RYDON glassing with the Impactx Photochromic lenses. I do that for a number of reasons. 1) doubling up the lenses solves most if not all the air under the lenses problem 2) The Photochromatic...
