    I'll just hop that curb!

    +1. Same here! Agreed 100%, especially if another rider is in front, the water sprays straight to the face. :mad:

    Yes, I found on Aliexpress(Not exact same brand. They have quite a variety!) It's about 400g. I think they ship to the US. (I reside in Kenya though. ) Check: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005004937009445.html But I have not mounted it yet. It's not rigid enough to hold shape. I need to...

    I never look back, darling. It distracts from the now, A V20c design journal

    I think you have a point there. Especially with an "angled" chainline typical of a 1X drivetrain. The 10 tooth sprocket is only usefull when you are descending in excess of 60Kph and allows you to continue pedalling. 9 teeth seem a little extreme to me but I guess that SRAM and Campy have done...

    v20 vs v20c Initial Look and Comparison

    What if you What if you perform the same test with exactly the same wheelset on the V20 by moving them to the V20C? That will eliminate the wheel differences from the equation.

    Kicker Snap...

    The skewer that came with the Cruzbike is long enough. However to preserve it I use a spare skewer I had in my parts bin with a steel nut. It was from an old MTB rear wheel. I will measure it for you in the evening.

    mid foot shoe adapter - has anyone tried this?

    I honestly don't know why shoe manufactures just don't offer extra holes near the midfoot section. It shouldn't be so expensive to move cleats further back. Personally, I just drill my shoes and bolt the cleats where I want them. Works for SPD two-bolt cleats ( 3-bolt road cleats present a...

    weight saving

    This is true upto a certian point. Once your body weight drops to the sub 70Kg (~150 pounds) range, the weight of the bicycle as percentage of your body becomes significant. The power to weight ratio becomes a major factor. When I look at professional bicycle races the lower UCI limit for...

    Gearing Question on Stock S40

    Pretty good actually. I could not tell the difference. It just felt as stiff as my old Shimano one. However, the catch is that the BB spaces and the bearing preload washes were plastic. They became brittle and cracked when I was swapping the two cranks between my bikes. Good thing is that the...
