    Cruzbike Community jersey top

    Ok just to put some structure on this idea: Things that make a good Jersey: 1) Style, Fit and Cut variety available in a mixed batch order. 2) Proper fabric you don't want a jersey that has to be washed every ride and still stinks of sweat 3) Minimum order quality and 1 offs if needed 4)...

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

    By the way that probably should have not been a KOM but a FOD (fool of the Descent) I think Mrs Oz would concur and I'm sure you didn't show that video to her :) I got nervous watching it given your shoulder and hip.

    It was a wonderful ride

    The best wide range climbing combo for the Q-rings is the 52/34 which while 18T spacing it does shift on most setups but it's not available for the Ultregra 6800. So the best you can do is a 50/34 or a 53/36. See list at end of post. So for Ultegra: you can convert that with a wolf sprocket and...

    Vendetta V2 (Large) for sale

    Mike Mowett is consider going for the hour recumbent record at the boulder indoor velodrome so you are correct. High is fast While someone will get a steal on this frame if it sells. I'd echo those that say it might be worth sticking with it a bit; the setup in the picture with the high handle...

    The number one factor is "who is" the place your are going to get them made. Each company has a unique template that you have to use illustrator to layout to. If it's not illustrator then you can't resize from w-s up to m-xxl. We've got a couple of template sfor "Get Bent" and "Recumbents do it...

    Components for a Silvio S30

    Well hey that's cool, 53/38 in 110bcd appears to be a new option or they were out of stock last year., mean while 54/44 on 130bcd is one I don't recall either..

    Components for a Silvio S30

    Easy peasy; you need 2 allen wrench and maybe a screw driver. On your terrain a 52/36 (biggest that fit on 110BCD) would rock and give you 56/49 and 40/33 like performance on the two rings. Orienting the rings is the only thing people struggle with; mostly because the instructions are meant...

    Q ring upgrade - Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh......

    Well only a little let me try and explain. JT's method is valid for the elliptical rings that are on the quest; and it can work for the Qring if you are short....It can get you a single 1 time working setup, but it can also get you the wrong OCP at a starting point and you wouldn't be able to...

    Q ring upgrade - Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh......

    Nope. Ignore that picture; what happens at 73 deg is variable depending on that you are setting up on the OCP preference and it's not reliable. Only look that the deadspot photo; rotor is designed around the dead spot. Rotor believes that full power is position+inertia so they tend to disregard...

    Going Disc Brake on Drive Wheel

    LOL, Yes but you'd never get me to take it off my Silvio; I've never had Shifters stay so absolutely dead on accurate without adjustment. Fortunately when I upgrade two bikes to Di2 I wound up with a a lot of spares so I can build Mrs. Ratz new trainer bike with them..... And the look cool. :cool:

    Components for a Silvio S30

    If you are willing to cut the stalk off; and put a replacement end on then there is a solution created by scabinetguy that will solve the problem. It's just a 1 way modification. The Suggestion would be to try a standard configuration with a 50/34 and a 12-36+ Wolf 42 on the back. If that...

    Q ring upgrade - Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh......

    Here' your verification: At dead spot on OCP#3 first tooth to disengage is #1. Opposite side first full Link+ tooth to be engage is on the line from #1. If setting up on #2 that would be reversed. Looks good. Let us know how the out of phase shifting works. And give it 200-400 miles before you...
