    Shine on you crazy diamond

    Slim, Did you intend for the files to all be just attachments? took me a while to figure out that after you upload them; the thumbnail button then inserts a thumb at the cursors current location; and Full inserts the full image also at the cursor. Just curious, which would be a good...

    Questions re: Silvio from a stickbike/lowracer rider

    What Larry saw is about what I see on the Silvio, and Quest for that matter; versus the Vendetta. For pure push power I can get more peak power from a closed hip angle on the Silvio and Quest Set to 27 degrees and 42 degree respectively. The absolute best power I can push and hold for 30 minutes...

    700 * 32C tyre on a new Silvio S30

    I keep an o-crap tube taped in a zip-lock bag in the Silvio and Vendetta frame bodies. Fortunately I yet to use them; the only flat I had to stop for last season on the tubeless was such a huge 4 inch tear in the tire body that there was no way could have repaired it with a tube.

    Shine on you crazy diamond

    Yes both front and back are from Design Shine. These will be on in flashing mode during the day rides; and will get used for night time events; and night time training. Two sets of batteries small ones for 2-4 hour training; and big ones for 8-10 hours. If I take all four I'm good for about 14...

    Shine on you crazy diamond

    Well this weekend was suppose to be a 100 miler on the trainer. But thanks to a failure on our main Storage Area Network (SAN); I got to tend to status bars all weekend. So what's a bike guy to do while waiting on RAID rebuilds and consistency checks... Why, open up the garage, bike shop, of...

    New Vendetta V20

    Always buy wife a bike before buy your personal N+1. Also it then works great to upgrade her bike with parts from yours which you then must replace with the next great thing. "Hey honey, I think we should upgrade your bike with the same stuff that has been working great on mine"

    Ride with GPS Releases Offline Maps for iPhone and Android

    For the edge 1000 I am using RWGPS turn by turn too, the cues are better than Garmin connect and the custom warning distance is better than the default you get from Strava routes. So still the best game in town and worth premium cost

    Power meter for Vendetta

    The joule was my next choice. Right after I pulled the trigger on the 1000 this was announced http://www.dcrainmaker.com/2015/01/sneak-powertap-products.html which basically says that cycleops has a new version due the fixes the short comings of the old version. You in short get the best head...

    One heck of a ride

    That's pretty darn good if you got those to fit. I bet it's about the tire and not the rim. I would also guess that 24mm in that case would be the vertical height of the rim from top of brake track to spoke flange. This stuff gets so confusing. The new fad is wide internal width with 19mm...

    Power meter for Vendetta

    All last season I ran an ANT+ Speed Sensor and Heart rate monitor. Those connected to my iPhone via Bluetooth through my RFLKT+ which connected to each of them via ANT+. I helped Wahoo debug the battery issues. For the entire summer I did burn through 4 batteries in the RFLKT+ but 3 of those...

    Power meter for Vendetta

    Kickr max I can stomach stationary is about 8 hours. Over that range the Stages matches the kickr really well. Just a few dropouts when comparing the data. Error different within about +- 1%. But I'm more balanced left/right on the trainer than I am on the road. For the Brim's I was also...

    One heck of a ride

    I'm running 700x25c with a 21mm wide rim tubeless at 95psi and that seems to soak up most things. Not as smooth as my Silvio but enough that I don't mind it. I think Rick or Robert mentioned running 28c. The new wider rims will get you get a bigger tire on. If the rim is 19mm wide then I...

    Power meter for Vendetta

    I'm using Stages Left Side only and getting workable numbers that aren't too far from what I get on the Kickr. Future plan is to move the Stages to Mrs Ratz and to get the Shoe based solution from Brimbrothers when it ships. http://www.brimbrothers.com/product/ Oh that was cool drag and...
