    Braided Pig tails is all Mrs. Ratz will do as well. Occasionally I can ride past and pull them without getting smacked.

    Q ring upgrade - Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh......

    ok If that is your dead spot then you have a slightly different rotation than the vendetta's earlier in the thread; similar to Kline. This is a function of the height of your BB. Working from eyeball I have marked you likely 1,2,3,4,5 holes in red. If that is correct then in that crank...

    Q ring upgrade - Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh......

    60-70degree is your max power zone so look at the size if the ring diameter during that phase and you can your max diameter is ending just as you finish the power stroke in picture 2 that is a good thing

    Q ring upgrade - Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh......

    Each numbered hole; is one half position from the the neighbor numbers. So 1, 3, 5 are a full hole of change from each other. While 1,2 are ½ hole of rotation hence the reason you have to flip the ring to go from 1 to 2. For mashing put #1 on the OCP bolt.; for spinning put #4 on the OCP bolt...

    Handlebar Aerodynamic testing (V20)

    This shouldn't require so much riding to test; this is classic Cda testing. You can simple use Rolldowns; or Chung AeroLab testing. For the stated goal of speeds over 21 mph aero will be everything. Golden Chetah isn't that hard to learn; or myself or probably Charles could help you analyze the...

    There is one hill technique that applies on any bike. If the hill is big enough that you can't sling shot it then you need to down shift sooner than you think. When climbing you can't waste your watts in a gear that is too big. The people that pop going up hill are the ones that down shift too...

    Looks correct. Sounds correct. So you will be using the bolt closest to the dérailleur as you OCP Bolt.

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

    Lighting was great, I did have a camera on the nose, but it was so far forward and low that you really can't tell how good the lighting is. When I get back to town I can process up that video it anyone wants to see it. The prototype (previous) to the one in the photo showed up as I was leaving...
