Any reason not to. Robert do you see any structural reason that the second mount on a 2.x model can't be cut off to creat that same nicer setup?

We'll be waiting on the photos. We'll be waiting on the photos. Those are nice wheels. I'm running 50mm you only need to watch the wind when you exit tree cover; otherwise you won't notice it much on 50mm's

Single piece units won't work. Slim's wired unit can still be found if you hunt around but they are getting harder to find. The other single piece wireless units work only up to about 55 or 60 mm on a custom extension. They don not reach on a 100mm extension. For the 100mm you pretty much...

Updated Video links Edited: Added Video #4 Here's the next set of converted videos to get around the band with issues. Same videos as post number 1 Ride videos https://www.dropbox.com/s/dfaoac3mlm95eb3/2015%20Sebring-part1-Larry%20Oslund.mp4?dl=0...

Very very good Very very good progress. Sounds very familiar for the mileage you have logged. Brain is saying "I got this, I'm an experienced rider"; but the reflexes have to catch up to the brain. The difference between ride 1 and ride 20 is very noticeable as the high speed stuff in a...

Recumbents in general are more tolerant of wheels Recumbents in general are more tolerant of wheels; you don't get out of the saddle and "rock" the bike like you do on a DF bike. So light and fast is the order of the day. Probably want to stick with something 23-25mm wide in the rim to get the...

It's 25F and sunny today; It's 25F and sunny today; roads are dry it's almost time. Probably another 2-3 weeks before I can justify rolling outside versus indoors.

Most Definately Robert, I'm still in shock how well they work. This is one of those hmmmm Cruzbike should lead the way and offer these as a standard upgrade option on the website for the Quest and the V20/S30 discbrake pre-builds. Obviously you have to clear up past inventory and all...

Be sure you can slow down Edit: bigger photos those where to hard to see. Part two of the marathon session was to mount the ne TRP HY/RD disc brakes on to the modified Quest 451. First off this setup was the first time I have used HY/RD's after researching the heck out of them. I...

New Shoes Got some good time in the bike shop this weekend; otherwise known as the wife was really sick so it was sleep on the couch or pull an allnighter working on bikes. yeah no contest there. First up on got the Shoes onto the new 451 wheels for the Burley trailer. I simply love the...

At 5'10" 40" inseam At 5'10" 40" inseam you are a dead match for me. I'd wager dollars to donuts that you will eventually want 155-165mm cranks 172.5 give a lot of hip throw/travel per revolution I personally find that really inefficient and uncomfortable. 165mm is just bearable for me. I'm...

Assembly Guide Robert said the v20 manual was close to done but got delay just a bit. But you cat get you need with the V 2.0/1.5 stuff http://cruzbike.com/VendettaAssemblyManualV2.0.pdf http://cruzbike.com/VendettaAssemblyNotes.pdf Then see these photos for the new headrest...

Trust the science not the stories. Yeah I'm not much on horror stories; documentation and photos seem to be limited on those fronts for post debug units. The manufacturers test the heck out of this stuff; boiling would be one of the main things they'd be testing for. I would suspect that with...

Should be fine for light riders Weight and speed would be your guide there. If you aren't doing alpine descents and are sub 200 lbs then a 140 upfront is probably just fine. If you are going to "glaze" the disc from over braking I don't think you'd be any more likely to do it to a 140 than you...

Wheels of a different sort Ok it looks like Project Quickr is back in the queue because the fedex man brought gifts this morning 4x451 in fact. 1 Drive wheel; 1 rear wheel for Quickr 2 wheels for the Burley to make it go much faster; (when the burley retires these will upgrade other...

The new spacing is 132mm so The new spacing is 132mm so you can do 135 or 130 without any problems. Same trick most road bikes are using.

That sure sounds correct Matej, That sure sounds correct. You might do better with the hack setup; that does improve the click in.

Matej, That's really odd; Matej, That's really odd; first time I've heard someone say that; the cleat is only 1 of 2 self cleaning ones I've ever seen that works; Eat beaters being the other MTB favorite. I have been know to stop in the occasional corns field; get my shoes very muddy...

2500 kilometers should be fine Frogs where meant for Mountain bikers running in dirt; mud; and slamming down hills. They are severely over greased. If you do the hack you would quickly see how much in there; it's more of a weather seal to keep the bearing cartridge free of water and dirt. On a...
