Suppose I should as the Suppose I should as the qualifier. I am assuming that is paint because there is a nick in the meant from shipping where you can see silver metal, but the finish is such than maybe this isn't really paint but some sort of anodized finish.

Ok so the frame kit arrive; yeah. On inspection the bottom bracket is painted all the way though. I am assuming that the rule still holds that I should get that chased and face by someone with the correct tools? That is one of those exotic tools I do not have in my kit.

Yes KMC over Wipperman KMC 10XSL is quieter with all lubes; the Wipperman is the only quite with wet lubes something link Prolink. It is been that way since at least 2006. I put a SRAM1091 on my CT700 for a compartive test; as soon as it wears out I am putting a KMC on it.

Parts is Parts... sometimes I can give you some insights from the build I have been planning for 6 months (just waiting for USPS to deliver the frame, man they are slow). Skip the Force Brakes Calipers; and go Rival the weight different is tiny; use the money elsewhere. Consider the...

Thanks. I have got a Gino from Pauls components that probably would fit Thanks for the info. The key was figuring out a way to get clear of the quick release assembly area. Thought about using a problem solver on the quick release but this is better. When the frame gets here and I can...

So sad.... A little cold day entertainment at my expense. So I get this shipping notice that something is coming from Taiwan and to be available to sign for it. Sweet, must be the Silvio. Get really busy and never had time to even look at the tracking info. Next day rush to the...

BullHorns are for the Silvio too You can opt for the BullHorn bars for the Silvio 2.0 same as the Vendetta. For the riding you are describing you may like that better. If you consider what the BullHorn cost and include with them, and then substract off the cost off $200-400 Brifters you may...

Which mount on the rear disc mount? Can you clarify which mounting hardware you used on the rear light attached to the disc brake bolt holes?

If you really want the experience You can come ride one of those on the trails here in Minneapolis it is going to be -26F for 3 days so I think you would get the full on arctic experience.

Strava did address some of that. Strava did finally address most of those 3rd parties that want to play by the new rules and added back bulk export. That said, I do record my rides with wahoo fitness iphone app and upload to stavas, Ride with GPS, and also email tcx files to myself for archival...

toys on top Oh I have a solution for that. I have a 3 ft piece of flexy plastic the shape of a standard yard stick. On one end is a bracket that mounts to the cars front bumper. The other end has a warning sign with big black letters that says "toys on top". All home bru but it works. When you...

Reverse the roof rack trays? Anyone give a thought to just using a roof rack with the old fashioned trays mounted backwards? I have an old thule rack circa 1989 that I still use. When I went to a trike; that i occurred to me I could just reverse the trays and drive the trike on to the...

Eric, At the pace I will be Eric, At the pace I will be building it; the plan is to take tons of photos and potentially create a detailed build thread so all of you can tell me what I am doing wrong, and maybe help the next person to come along. The existing build threads for the Vendetta...

It is time.... Ordered my Silvio 2.x today. Finally, the lonely box of parts on my work bench will stop yelling at me to buy them a proper frame. Good thing there is 2ft of snow on the ground or the waiting would be unbarable.

What does a built bike look like? Any photos of the new decals on built bike. I have a nice line on some wheels but they are blue and white and that new decal might look just awful in combination. Seeing it at full bike scale would be more informative.

bottle cages for under seat applications Jeremy, For under seat applications those zefel cages are sub optimal as you just found out. I've been using lezyne flow hp cages on my Catrike 700. Bottles mounted under the seat (and mine are mounted upside down at a 10 degree decline. 1800...

Ok time to test some climbing... Ok that is exactly what I observed at the Rally. So I am on a bit of rant to help fix that. Even if you are just leisure riding, bad hill technique really make the ride less fun than it could be because it wastes so much energy. What I observed was that...

back to Eric's leveling off comment... Interesting that you are talking about leveling your power out to make better climbing. I just got back from the Midwest recumbent Rally and I had an interesting realization during the group rides. Almost no one there on trike or bike seemed to know how to...
