A problem with being so aero is you don't see the pot hole at 40kph. Fortunately the front tubeless gp5000 saved my bacon but the carbon rim is smashed. The wheel on the back is tubular with aluminium rim ... as intact as it ever was. I'm so cheesed off right now... as I don't have a suitable...

The most I like with the v20 is I don't ache so much after. LOL

Well, I like my bike setup. Just need to put covers on my rear wheel, lose the Xmas fat and eye up some KOMs , ideally away from the pro peloton routes. I did see a video last night of a racer cresting a carbon 68g mudguard... now if I enhanced that into a front aero guard then I am sure that...

Emmm you are always a kid on a cruzbike and even if you do fall , it's not like falling off a road bike. Just remember ... stay nice and slow at the beginning... figure eights. Welcome to the tribe.

A number of us on vendettas have a foam support for the arch in our backs ... I guess on the Q45 , you have more weight on the hips. Maybe you need to fine tune it a little and see if the settings become more comfortable for you. Trouble is that sort of discomfort takes awhile to go before you...

Pretty sure you are talking about that giant .... it was a bit heavy. Just imagine a modern carbon composite frame with more aero front forks and a disc wheel at the back... phenomenal idea for some bike company wanting to sell bikes to win KOMs or to be a weekend warrior... certainly would make...

Well I think the last time gcn attempted that, I think they waited for the wind to be in their favor.

Why not just try and replace the battery in the bolt.... it could be an interesting thing to watch on YouTube.

I'm totally impressed. May the force be with you.

Well, it seems the pros have a thinner tyre up front so why not on a vendetta.

If you have short cranks 255mm or under, oval looses the benefit, you would be better off with the clasic ring. I don't like mashing the pedals, I prefer the pedalling stroke to be in unity.

It all depends what you want... max power or max aero. With the vendetta they are mutually exclusive. I've gone for more aero than power so then I don't have to grunt so much. I find myself hovering about the 50kph speed so aero savings are considerable.

That could work well with a balaclava. It's called a moon professional snowboarding helmet

What about a snowboarding helmet from aliexpress... it's a 1/3 cheaper...

Arf Arf Arf.... goes with Gath. I used a Gath windsurfing helmet with flip down visor back in the days when I did 50 knots. They are a hoot. Try one of those before you end up buying the wrong thing.

Emmm it's usually a tradeoff but I get sick of having my hands in one position for hours so I go for carbon drop bars. I like carbon for the smoothness and feel over aluminium. If you just want for racing then aero tt bars but I find that a little limiting.

Hey congrats, v20 is a great bike. I have tinkered with it every year. It's a bicycle that I respect. Every time I get on it... I will just have an easy ride, the adrenalin kicks in and you have a lifetime experience in one ride. It's an incredible machine.

I put a tubular tyre on the back... its going to be monokoted so it's good because it keeps the tire pressure consistent. The valve is adaptive so I could put sealant in it but running without for the moment.

If you want even bigger tyres just put a smaller wheel on. (650b perhaps ?)

Very sorry about your loss. Its a pretty unique bike. Pretty sure some of the members will keep their eyes peeled on the Web. Does it have any unique features? Wheels and groupset and color
