GXP Is required If someone wants to send me a V20 frameset i will be happy to do a build diary. As as for the press fit. That indeed will not work as the bearings don't have a large enough outboard cup. You need a GXP outboard bearing cup to clamp onto.

Thicker Boom At the risk of the dreaded "I haven't seen one" comment.... Those photos of the boom do make the metal appear to be a fair bit thicker than the Silvio 2.0 boom; how close to the Vendetta 2.0 Gary and Larry would have to fill use in. Having had engineering chats with Gary; I am...

Video time I'm assuming the extra brake handle serves to "release" the seat to change position in the non-ratched direction? Video would be good. Rick's right my betting $ are on the fact that eventually you will use this less and less. BUT I have driven on many UK roads for business. I...

Front Kind Shock is sealed so Front Kind Shock is sealed so no need to lubricate it as far as I know. But it doesn't take a little bit to loose up sometime. Mine use to bottom out at first and stick; That went away after about 3-4 rides. If you haven't used a Shock pump before check the...

How many times do you shift? I'll be the first to admit that di2 is pure luxury, addictive but unnecessary. But..... I am seriously looking forward to using this website to analyze if I am using my gearing correctly. http://di2stats.com/rides/view/456. Sample data reference was posted by...

Testing OCP Positions on the mag trainer So coming back to this discussion. Before It got cold I managed to log 800 miles on the Q-rings in the default OCP 2 position as documented in post 15 and 36. So at this point I think I have a good feel for the pedal stroke on the road. Now that...

Yes those wheels. I've got to Yes those wheels. I've got to step up my game on my wheel decals. Where are you getting those done?

It better be clean .... 4 It better be clean .... 4 hours deep cleaning the last of the chains on Friday night. That was date night around here a movie wd40 and a brush. I have ridden it on the mag trainer it is comfy. The wife wants lady's version with a narrower (left right) seat pan...

Extended Hydration So a little something to show from the weekend. Spent two days with the basement in bike shop mode. The majority of what I was up to isn't ready to share yet. But I did complete one side project. For rides over 50 miles last year I would have to stop for water...

A long cage should did that.. Same problem with the quickr when I converted the quest to traditional gearing. My problem was on the other extreme going sub position four. You can switch to a clamp on triple front derailed from a road bike. That will have a longer cage. If that does work you can...

Bottom Bracket - Again Here's something that some people will find interesting. On the Vendetta I have that XD-15 Bottom Bracket mentioned at the top of the thread; On the Silvio I have the Standard SRAM BB that comes with the Rival Crankset. As mentioned in the other thread I trashed...

Solid Advice That's a good point Blair and always Solid Advice on avoiding new stuff. In this case, the 4iiii boys got a good reasonable review at http://www.dcrainmaker.com/2014/09/4iiiis-introduces-precision.html more promising than some that came before. Robert Chung is going to...

My powers are weakening.... Clearly I'm loosing my touch; Larry bought a Kickr, a Power Meter; AND a 2nd Vendetta. I suspect you are just a few miles further away and therefore farther out of the reality distortion zone. Here's a trick for those that are considering a Kickr. Email...

Left right leg bias. Left right leg bias. If you are a pro you need to ensure balance is monitored and trained for. For the rest of us, moving up from HR training single leg has come a long way as really is good enough to start with. In terms of bang for the buck translated to real gains...

Well if these A-D are the Well if these A-D are the reasons you probably don't care about left/right power, which means you can use the already shipping product from 4iiii http://4iiii.com/product/precision/ Next shipment will be Q1 2015. Mrs ratz will be getting one of those instead of a...

Torque spec for BB Clamp? John, While you swing through the forums (good to see you caught some "free" time btw) Is there a Torque spec for the BB Clamps? I'm suspect I over torqued one of our Silvios and caused the bearings to wear out in record short mileage. That or it was a darn cheap...

What are going to do tonight pinky? What are going to do tonight Brain? Same thing we do every night, Plan our next Cruzbike aquisition/modification and take over the world. My favorite part of these posts is the "I'll have one hopefully around August". And then we get the first...

Photo Proof Finally photo proof that Larry was a competitive child. And you thought that eye patch wasn't deserved?

Lasted about 5 hours. Lasted about 5 hours. NeedForSpeed has been on the hunt for one for quite a while.
