Have your checked with Cruzbike? I think they will ship directly to you - or are you looking for a used Cruzbike?

Do you have the same crank length on each bike?

If still in the box, I would see if Cruzbike would be willin to take it back, perhaps with a small restocking fee

Looks like you have most the kinks worked out. If you would have been able to do the exact same ride on your V20 while the conditions were the same, I'de bet you would have a much close CdA. Don't get hung up by the number is my suggestion. I would look at the power it takes to get the average...

Nothing - but thanks for the reminder. I will give him a poke

Haha - Ken you are being too kind. Maybe Derek's time will be blistering - not mine. I finished Cote de Domancy today so I am now done with all 4 of the easy ones. Now the 4 hard ones are left- : Col d'Aspin - 12 km at 6.5% Puy de Dome - 10.5 km at 8% Col du Platzerwasel - 7.1km at 8.4% Col Du...

Yes it is sad - They could not do it this year because the track was not available. I offered to help them organize it utlizing the existing routes, but they eventually said no. I am on the Board or WUCA - I have suggested WUCA ask to organize it in the future - here's to hoping. :)

Great ride Hardy - Not sure if you do this, but I have all my Zwift rides automatically uploaded to Strava - the climb segment will show up in Strava - and all you have to do is send your Strava link to Ken.

Ken, I just rode Cote de Pike: Managed a 13:06 on 205W avg for the climb (I think I saw Connie there) https://www.strava.com/activities/9423896420 Sorry for messing up the thread with daily rides - I'll start sending you and email with my Strava link from now on!

I've decided to tackle them in order of increasig "hardness", so I am going to ride Cote de Pike tomorrow morning at 8am (if there are any takers for riding together) :)

Welcome back, Ratz! Can you innovate me one of these for a V1 Vendetta in my Cruzeum?

Yes, I think I remember a several inch piece of clear tubing the cable rode in. Then I thought: Heck I've got an example in the Cruzeum. Here is my First Vendetta showing how it is set up

I experimented with running a 650 on the rear of a V2 Vendetta. It will reduce you seat angle and possibly your aero. However you will also have to adjust your headrest or else any aero advantage will be cancelled by your helmet catchng more air. My goal for any bike was to make my face piont...

I completed the 2nd of the climbs in Stage 1 this morning: Col de Aravis - time of 20:43 (something to shoot for Ken!) https://www.strava.com/activities/9405375070/segments/3112379769676407856 Definitely a little harder than the Cote De Trebiac I did 2 days ago - this one took me about 5 mins...

You can get QR attachments for the thru axle wheels. Flo sent me a set when I ordered their latest that were default Thru axle and I wanted to use it on my V20 with QR

I just finished my ride of Cote De Trebiac @ 15:57 https://www.strava.com/activities/9392753913/analysis/249/1206 II know I am as weak as I have ever been, but to add insult to injury: that Zwift reports avg power at 177w when I clearly rode each of the 9 segments of the climb at powers higher...

That's probably 1mph right there - non-curved slider probably the other 1 mph. Change those 2 things and I bet you will be much closer.

I'm in Ken - Thanks for putting this together. I have only ridden a few times since Oct, so this will be interesting. I went out today - and could barely avg 150 watts- a year ago I could ride 25mph for 4 hours, now I can barely ride 21mph for 1 hour!! :( Now that the Cruzeum building is done...

You do have lots of difference between your V20 and V20C! I am pretty sure the 32mm tires are going to be slower than the 28mm. Add no curved slider, some wheel bearing issues - it all starts to add up. It would also be better to test on a closed loop somewhere - the same day - for a distance of...

The curbed slider makes a pretty big difference, but probably still not as much as your are reporting. In my comparsion, my V20 (too of the slider just above the fork) is also about 1" lower than the V20c. This is beacuse I have the V20 setup in the lowest possible configuration for the slider...
