Mrs ratz is 5'7". Her silvio last year. 165 sram rival compact crank. All other components sram Force. Wifi 11-32 and 52/34 q-rings. Kmc 10xl chain. Frog pedals. This year she got di2 and all those parts moved to my silvio and she is whisper quiet and butter smooth. Speedplay zeros. My...

Psssst........ Tubeless......:rolleyes:

Went through that too. Form Mrs Ratz the 50T round is big. the 52T Q-ring is actually easier by her estimation. She's running 52T/34T on her Q-rings.

Too easy. I'm passing.

The capacity difference will matter more than the max stated size as the size assumes it's on a standard frame MTB frame. It can do 42/28 which is a 14T delta; your 42/36 is 12T delta give or take 2T for the q-ring affect. You'll just be installing it "offset" with the high-offset version. The...

Sam, Trace your foot on a piece of paper. Measure the widest width and the length in mm. PM me the results; with those numbers it wouldn't take long to run a search on the manufacturers shoe sizes to see if any one has the short and wide combo you desire. Getting a good price is usually harder...

The Force 22 is a road derailleur and you have MTB sized from rings; so the mounting reach isn't low enough. The Force 22 will "just" fit a 50T Q-ring and works better with a 52. If you want to use those rings you will likely need to a X9 Front Derailleur; it has a model that is "High Direct"...

Server Design and Bike Component Selection are remarkably similar to playing sudoko

Waiting to see how the works out. Hoping you can get some video like the last time.

These Days try and get a rim with an inside width of at least 17.5mm and and outside of 23mm. Some are now 19mm/25mm which is probably the max to put on a Silvio or Vendetta. This will give you better performance out of 25mm and 28mm tires. and leave more vertical room depending also on the...

Just dawn some clown shoes to make it fair for the non-aero bikes.

LOL I forgot about that. I had a Trailer hitch in a 1.5 in receiver that was rusted in place. Notice the liquid wrench in the photo. The hatchet was the heaviest hammer I had handy. It didn't work and I had to go buy a 5lb driver mallet. The rubber mallet was for install the 1.5 to 2in receiver...

Since I get queries on where I am on the Handlebars these days I thought I would do a quick and short summary post. This season I am committed to a full on test season only riding dropbars. I plan to use the experience to compare against last year where 90% of my riding was in bullhorns. My...

Never fails day job work overload always arrives at the same time as the nice weather.

Excellent please return your WHID card and pick up your Big Guns By Bike (BGBB) Card :rolleyes: (see Ricks Xmas avatar if you don't get the joke). Just imagine how you will feel after 2k miles.

I have children to pick up the tools and put things away; finding enough chores for 5 kids means being creative. That was mid project of the initial install all tools where in use at the time and the box throw away crew was busy with a lemonade stand :p If you watch the rear light video the...

Your a computer guy I fully expect you to hand create HTML tables in a text editor and post them.

I did suspect that the rear light could be too bright in some modes for night time; so I did a quick test. Yep too bright, but impressive. I'll be using the low power modes at night. Gratuitous garage shot included for Eric...

David, They work well, because the bikes alternate directions and the curved parts line up and they don't hit. The one problem we have is on the 4 bike rack if we load it with all quests there is some handle-bar interference between bike 1 and 3 and bike 2 and 4. I have to loosen one and that...

Nice the was the other rack we considered. Got our Saris on sale and went with it since it handles the Quest 20" and the Vendetta / Silvio. Sadly we have a 4 bike and a 2 bike; which means we can "almost" take enough bikes for everyone. :mad:
