    Down Hill Form

    Couple of threads I kept seeing are about going down hill under control. It is always mentioned by the veteran riders to relax and it's easy.

    V20 rim and tire options?

    Lief, For my tastes (because of our jet stream winds); I like that on my Quest but not the Silvio and Vendetta. I like this one better for in the triangle: http://t-cycle.com/fastback-hydration-packs-c-6/storage-packs-c-6_36/fastback-flash-frame-pack-p-83.html I specifically mount my brake...

    Power meter for Vendetta

    For Q-Rings you need a power meter that measures 1 time per revolution. Stages will do that; and give you a consistent reading. But it will read about 4-5% high versus round rings. If you switch between bikes with round and q-rings then you have to account for that delta. If you only ride...

    V20 rim and tire options?

    Ducan, Similar Requirements. I stalk my wheels in the winter on Ebay. Can't remember the last time I paid store prices, probably the pre-ebay days. Out of curiosity I went tubeless last year and while it was a learning curve I have not looked back, but there was a WHID moment when mounting...

    Silvio S30 - chainstay extension?

    Your kinda of in no-mans land. Measured the cruzbike way http://cruzbike.com/faq/how-do-you-measure-x-seam My x-seam is 42.5" and I'm a tall 5'9" and getting shorter. A 50mm extension will likely give you exactly what you want. A 100mm (unless you are in to 165 lb range) will likely be too...

    Video Ride report

    As far as I know the Iris from also from 3DR is the only one shipping for sub $1k US; and the charge only holds for about 20 minutes; so still of limited use. At $750 I'd seriously consider putting R&D funds into getting one to play with; but our winds just aren't favorable for those things we...
