    Are Vendetta's really fast or what??????

    I'd be content with a v20 and any Silvio with v20 front end. Bring on the upgrade option ;)

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

    Occasionally I get into the "why?" tubeless discussion or the "are they worth it?" last night it was worth it hands down. I was running the 1k and 5k TT's for our fantasy time trial series. I decided I would run those distance on the high-school track at night to avoid wind allowing me to run...

    Are Vendetta's really fast or what??????

    Based on the exact same wheelset with 25x700c tires. The V will coast up to a higher speed on the same hill every time. My test hill 40 versus 36. CdA is the trump card. The long wheel base on the Vendetta offsets much of the lacking of suspension; but the S Silvio is smoother; any speed on...

    XQL Q-rings .vs. Reg Q-ring .vs. Circular Chain Rings

    Bringing in some thoughts from discussions elsewhere. Because of Larry's high power potential and normally high RPM I didn't find his results all that surprising. He has been training himself to a vary high cadence on short cranks using gears that work well for that. The Q-Ring is designed to...

    XQL Q-rings .vs. Reg Q-ring .vs. Circular Chain Rings

    In less than perfect wind conditions, done in the dark. Cd*A: 0.255 Cr*R: 0.00395 Cd*A is probably a touch high need to run a better test.

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

    From prototype to beta test... It's getting better.... Steve is the master of taking my obtuse ideas and making physical and practical. Road testing next week to make sure no refinement is required. Poof bye bye ¾lb.

    XQL Q-rings .vs. Reg Q-ring .vs. Circular Chain Rings

    The short version of what Jon said. "Which ring makes you got faster? Whichever one you have had mounted on your Vendetta for the last 2 weeks."

    T-bone

    Never like to hear about these events but much prefer the ones where the riding is still upright. Heal up, best luck with the insurance, stand your ground. Shout if you need stuff.

    Vendetta V2 (Large) for sale

    The interesting question is can a "medium" chain-stay or chain-stay + fork from a V20 be used to convert this to a medium frame? Paging robert holler, paging robert holler.

    XQL Q-rings .vs. Reg Q-ring .vs. Circular Chain Rings

    I did test that with a Stages left only in another thread. We know the error rate there. Larry did similar test and had %. I forgot to ask him if he adjusted for the offset. That would be the number one reason to do this setting on a power trainer or with a hub power meter. If you take the...

    Video Editor Recommendations

    AVI tend to be a pain; more so on the Mac. The first thing to do is get Quicktime Pro; the license is cheap and you can then use that to trim and merge video files with ease; huge time saver. In to that you add Flip4Mac the free codec version to deal with windows media files, the free Divix...

    Are Vendetta's really fast or what??????

    Rick had one Jump OVER his bike. I don't have that problem I just scream like a 12 year old girl (but louder) when I see deer; .... At the speed of a Vendetta perhaps we need deer whistles.
