Descending - when learning; Descending - when learning; bring the knees together and clasp the frame; that will stabilize the front end and lock your feet while you adapt. (All credit to my daughter for that one). That makes it easier to learn. Eventually that will become something you save...

Great to hear that the balance is coming along Great to hear that the balance is coming along I'm going to assume that along with sucking wind you probably have a really strong burn in the legs? If so then yes you don't have your bent legs yet; and you aren't able to get enough oxygen to...

Ok something to liven up the winter months. I've been working on the custom graphics for my wheel covers and the deep v rims. I thought it would be instructive to see what the rest of you like. Here are the 10 theme proofs that we are playing with for the disc covers. The higher...

Table saw So when your backordered chain ring arrives; that black thing goes back on the table saw right?

i noticed a few people mentioning hitting the file size limit posting pics. Since I do that a lot (go figure), I thought I would point out that if you resize your photo to 800x600 @ 72 dpi they will post here just fine. That 72dpi is a given but I added that incase someone tries to over think it.

52 rings are fine on a 110 52 rings are fine on a 110 bcd. 52/36 is a standard configure from all major players now. I follow a lot racing press (bike techno nerd) and most of the press now considers 53 too big for most riders much like the abandoning of 175mm cranks. According to many...

Be sure to read the threads Be sure to read the threads on triples and 74bcd. Here is a review of that crank set http://www.gravelbike.com/?p=1799

Ha When the wife put a nail completely through her rim after 205 miles on her first new bike in 20 years; I told her she was good for another 6000 miles. That means you are due.

Go with the Middle. Since you didn't have problems with the Q559 default gearing and going up hill..... I would put a 52/36 or 52/34 compact double BCD 110 on the front; both will shift fine. With the 52/34 you can't use little/little because the chain will rub on the inside of the 52...

Portable Chain breaker Finally a chain breaker you can carry with you and make wheel chain just a bit easier on legacy Silvio's and Vendetta without the press fit hanger. http://bikemountain.info/SqueezeLink.html $4 I just ordered two.

Plate seems like the right way to do that. Rich, I've got the new carbon seat; I don't think you'd want to cut it and hinge it. It's super thin and the cut would compromise the over all stiffness of it; the extra plate Philip added is a very elegant way to do this without introducing later...

I was having a good laugh I was having a good laugh watching people miss that. I cheated and used google. :)

Spacing is 132.5mm Spacing is 132.5mm on the new S30 and V30; the braze on's for the disc brake mechanics expects a ISO mounted disc. The rear is a standard 100mm As far as which hub to use depends.... If lacing a new wheel; it's hard to beat the DT Swiss 350 Classic ISO Disc Brake Rear...

Good Summary Robert Good Summary Robert, I don't think anyone would have expected Cruzbike to endorse such a modification. The Legal implications alone make that impossible. I love that people will experiment; and share it. Sometimes it's going to go sides ways. I'm impressed that most of the...

MTB or Road many options. Kline, That's correct for MTB Levers the Sypke is the way to go. Good on The Quests for the Two wheeler crowd reading this thread, While The Sprye's have "Road" cable pull length for the Silvio/Vendetta Crowd. FYI There are SRAM levers that have "road" pull...

TRP HY/RD come recommend by the seasoned riders. Well... Vic and Dave out of Texas (BROL members) have a family full of bikers and a awful lot of miles. She put HY/RD on her new Encore and was raving about them. Perry Butler was in the process of putting them on his trikes. Frankly that's...

super human or walk. I've got a couple 18-23% on our MUP (sadist trail designers); with the Quest 20" + Trailer I'm good for oh about 30 maybe 50 feet; then I'm walking. I'd like to claim the wheel traction is the issue; but I don't like to lie.

Ok so by the time summer gets here we'll have another rider in the stable. Which means family outings will require at least one of the Silvios to roll with the Quests. So I'm starting to consider whether I dare pull a axle mounted trailer with the Silvio 2.0. I'm thinking that would perhaps...

Question for those with the Question for those with the Single cog 40T+ Solutions. The only question I have about you final setup Rick or anyone else that's done it; did you change out the freehub body to a CNC steel one? With Those single cog solution you only get about a 4-5mm drive...

I would start with what Rick I would start with what Rick rides, and add a triple on the front http://cruzbike.com/advice-vendetta-gearing#comment-27785 Go here to analyze your setup. http://home.earthlink.net/~mike.sherman/shift.html
