    How I spent my Summer Vacation (an ongoing vendetta saga)

    Overdue update I've been so busy working and training that I just finally got Version 2.0 of my Hydro setup installed. With the help of Steve we hacked up some Origin8 TT bike bottle mounts. Mount on the head rest tubes Set the angle Pull the...

    Yes the Vendetta is fast...But it's nimble too!

    Frog Hack Frog Hack. Remove the two screws. Pry the pedals apart with a knife. Swap the spindles Left<-->Right and re-assemble. Yes grease will make a mess. But they are meant to come appart for repair. Now you have two pedals that will disengage left or right; This gives you much...

    S30 derailleur hangar

    Now I get it Now I get it I couldn't figure out how the metal one worked. I'll have to post my chain breaker in a photo later; between that; clip and the break I might have a solution.

    Vendetta rack bag

    It's using the same bracket It's using the same bracket that Steve came up for my water bottle upgrade. (I still need to get good photos of that to post) The connection is really solid. If any lets go it's going to be the head rest tubes or the bag tube. If used for windbraker and basic...

    24 hours at Sebring - Ride report and videos from Larry

    The preview mode is something The preview mode is something dropbox added awhile ago; the 15 min limit applies regardless of file size. Smells like rookie developer to me; as Limiting by time doesn't control wasted bandwidth, since they run on top of Amazon EC2 it definitely artificially cost...

    S30 derailleur hangar

    Hi RobertWe get the trade Hi Robert We get the trade offs; it's just for some of us the old non pressfit is highly non-optimal; I'll elaborate not to be argumentative but more to share some examples of why it's a problem some of us would like to retro-fix. To be clear to others...

    24 hours at Sebring - Ride report and videos from Larry

    Links with more Bandwidth Here are some updated links for the Support Crew video that should help fix the bandwidth issue. Larry's specifically requested that for now we not use you tube for them to keep them within the community to some degree. My theory is he doesn't want to embarrass the...

    S30 derailleur hangar

    Just the ends would be great Actually I wasn't thing the whole front end; just this particular piece. Even with the change to 11 speed support; these would seem to be cross bike compatible. Perhaps Robert can comment on whether they made extra ones and if they will work. Having just...

    S30 derailleur hangar

    The more interesting question The more interesting question is; can that "new end" be put on to a Silvo 2.x chain stay to upgrade the older version. I suspect quite a few of us would queue up to order the upgrade.

    First Ride - Seat improvement

    Works on the Quest We have the Ventisit comfort version on all of our Quest 20's and 26's; They are plenty soft in the summer with the suspension and the bike feels more latterly attached to us when we ride. Between the wife and I we have about 1200 miles on the trainer since January; all of...

    Fun with wheels

    Time to get them printed And the final versions are done. Clipping and doing the infinitely "Z" was a little harder than it should of been, but I think it was worth it. Time to measure the wheels for final dimensions update the vector files and get them ordered. Then the annoying wait for...

    What drove your decision process?

    Candidates for something new That was much my list too. M5 - I'm too short. MetaPhysic, Cruzbike, and Zockra where the finalist. The Zockra wasn't going to be available in time for the season so it got back burner-ed, the MetaPhysic was versatile, but the Carbon wasn't shipping then, but I...
