Get the large. Always go bigger

Good luck mate. I am glad you survived that collision. Keep on riding Jond.

Thanks for fixing this.

I can't access the Hoodoo 500 race report by Ben at http://03bbf98.netsolhost.com/blog/2015/09/30/race-report-ben-tomblins-solo-hoodoo-500/ I also can't access the main blog from the cruzbike site. http://03bbf98.netsolhost.com/blog/ (Fixed now)

Get well Abbot. I was thinking of you yesterday after the blackout post.

There is already some smudging on the bars.

I went with yellow as well. It will match the rest of my kit :)

I had a nice commute in this morning. I also found that my Vixen is easy to carry up stairs. Just put the boom over your shoulder and lift. It feels very much like moving an upright bike. Vixen at the office by Duncan Watson, on Flickr

I pulled the trigger. I got a reasonable deal on a 53/39 set of q-rings and a great deal on an ultregra 165mm crankset sans rings. Everything arrives next week.

Remember fall on your left side, protect the drive train. I am glad he is OK, that can be very nasty.

So I am thinking of going 53/39 Q rings + ultegra 165mm cranks in 130 bcd. That should work?

I got a deal ($20) on some 165mm ultegra 130 bcd cranks. I will order a set of q-rings in 130bcd to match. I normally use 165s and q-rings on all of my bikes so this is just my normal. I don't normally use 130 bcd but there is only one lost gear going from 34 small to a 39 small. I can live...

You aren't wrong, it is just I was feeling twinges in my knees the day after and that is a warning sign for the cranks. It may have been from the cleat that lost a screw and got out of position but ...

I normally use 165mm cranks. I was looking at these cranks Rotor 3D24 Road Compact Crank in 165mm. They are available as low as 155mm but not in stock. Would this require a lot of custom work?

I am considering shorter cranks. I currently am running a 170mm Ultegra crankset 50/34. I am wondering what is a good option to go to 165 or 160mm crankset. I would like to be able to get q-rings to go with it. I am wondering what choices have been made before by the trailblazers? I may...

Not really noticeable. I can put my left foot flat on the ground at a stop and I am short. Given how much I sanded and cut down the rubber blocks I am likely only 1/2"-3/4" higher.

So I am wondering how much of my improved speed on climbing on Vixen (Vendetta TT) is due to the higher gearing. I have an 11-32 in the back and a 50/34 up front so my gear inches ranges from 27.9" to 119.5". On my raptobike my low gear is 20" or so. I find that I don't fully downshift on my...

Bbmracing@yahoo.com makes the zotefoam pad I use. That one came off my raptobike, I have one on order with yellow inserts. I will take pictures with the seats next to each other tomorrow. I took Vixen for a ride to Redmond today. I wanted to test out my commute. The ride was great, I had no...
