    Quest be nibble, Quest be Quick, Quest rode over the rumble-strip

    Surprisingly the balance is aided by the 80lbs+ in the trailer. The brakes are the new TRP hydros. I need to bleed the master cylinders

    SRAM 11-speed 11-36 cassette for double chainrings?

    Last time I was looking at wheels; Reynolds was using DT Swiss hubs for most of there wheels; they had some serious problems that past years high prices and middling to average reviews on their road wheels. Every time I find a used set the owner or the shop way over valued the wheels. I know...

    Depends on where you source them; the big players in the hubs are: American Classic Chris King Dash Cycles DT Swiss Extralite Industry Nine Hope Phil Wood PowerTap Project 321 Shimano White Industries Zipp There was a time that there was Phil...

    SRAM 11-speed 11-36 cassette for double chainrings?

    So far so good; I would call it better :rolleyes:: Since the simple button tap requires "less hand effort" I focus more on the climbing and don't think about the shifting. The shift is so much faster that it's a game changer on an incline it doesn't even feel the same. It's also easier to...

    New Vendetta V20

    Always good. Some others should chime in but to my eye; that last section of housing by the rear derailleur looks about 1-2 inches short and that might bind up your shifting; it will work but it will shift harder coming up from 11T heading toward 15R. Next maintenance window after you have a...

    SRAM 11-speed 11-36 cassette for double chainrings?

    This thread has much of the cool we discussed especially when it comes to the new MTB stuff and it's implications. The full review will be coming when I hit about 1000 road miles on it. I have things to play with different setups for things like button configuration and multi-shift. But from a...

    I hate to admit it but the first one really is how I spend my day. Maybe without the smarmy grin.... maybe.

    Quest be nibble, Quest be Quick, Quest rode over the rumble-strip

    I'm not one to watch really long normal speed videos unless they are for the trainer; i much prefer the time lapse ones under 5 minutes. But I was setting up this one for the trainer and realized it demonstrates really well that you can take a 20" Quest a wide variety of road surfaces even while...

    SRAM 11-speed 11-36 cassette for double chainrings?

    Bikes weigh less so perhaps it a retirement goal; the 4 servers and upses next to my desk for this week weigh like 40kg per box; makes we want to ride the bike and just ignore them. If I move em I'll be too tired to ride. :eek:

    SRAM 11-speed 11-36 cassette for double chainrings?

    I think they are being over cautious because of the hydro problems that was a tough punch in the face for them. Last I read these were the newest articles and that seems to be true still http://www.bikeradar.com/road/gear/article/sram-red-wireless-electronic-group-details-discovered-42174/...

    Power meter for Vendetta

    Maybe http://4iiii.com but they might have a problem with the concave part. But for Crank based you'll probably have to wait for watteams offering (this is the one Gary found a while back) it's due out really really soon. (aka nobody has a clue when). http://watteam.com...

    SRAM 11-speed 11-36 cassette for double chainrings?

    If Mark @ Bikesmith is selling this; it will work correctly; he's a stickler for that sort of thing. With a chain guard it should shift smooth; worst case is you are backing off the pressure and slow pedal down shifting. That's actually very easy to do on a CB because you can look right at...

    First Damage is now behind you; now you'll be even more relaxed when you ride again. Today we Rest and Repair for tomorrow we Ride.

    SRAM 11-speed 11-36 cassette for double chainrings?

    Ah that makes so much sense. PM scabinetguy, his derailleur stalk bracket replacement end would let you modify the bike to use a 48/32 with cleaner shifting. That would also put 11sp 11-36 back on the table.

    Power meter for Vendetta

    There's an art to that. Larry's just extra ordinary. My max on a mag trainer is about 1 hour then I'm bored stupid. For the KickR we break it up Structured hardworks <= 1 hr for specific target. Gotta build those challenging and tight so you don't ever get a minute of down time to get...
