    V20 for sale

    Lovely wheelset. Why not sell that wheelset and buy a cheaper 650b disc brake wheelset. Then that would put you lower and you will still be going faster than ever! Just switch over to trp spyre hy/rd calipers with 160 and 140 rotors

    Curved Slider vs Longer Chain Stay

    Try going up a long hill with a long chainstay and you will fall off. Well I did twice. I am 5' 10". The hill in question went on and on 5%+ with camber on the sides... just a wobble and an over correction and yer off. I now run with the medium chainstay and the curved slider.

    Vendetta V20 for sale [frameset, standard chainstay], UK & EU

    What a shame... n+1... understand though. Bikes take space. Perhaps I end up with a miniaturized V20 that i can put in my display cabinet ... quite a nice present for someone who loves their Vendetta.

    Dialing in fit on a V20

    Set up your rear derailleur first... then adjust boom to your hearts content. I found that the choice of handlebar has significant effect. When you are in a comfortable fit and can ride without trouble then put the front derailleur on. I found it's easier to set up the front derailleur without...

    Chain Reaction

    It is actually. My headrest has been reduced by 1.5 inches so my head is angled on a recline. The tape flaps stops the air from running underneath the visor. I don't get sore eyes when going +40.. before I had to wear 2 pairs of glasses to keep the dust out.

    Chain Reaction

    It just seems like a conflict that's trying to bring out the worst in me. Perhaps it's time to flash some real cash before it burns in the stock market on some real wheels that are top notch. That will probably get me to 50kph better than anything else

    Chain Reaction

    It's a sad day. My days of glory are curtailed ... I have been refining the engine since February... from which I had a terrible virus that had kept me low and in quarantine for weeks and consequently overweight. So what did I do in quarantine... well I upgraded the vendetta and put a TRP spyre...

    Searching out the limits on the V20.

    Those bridges over freeways are good for bicep curls; sitting up and kicking out ... well punchy. Long hills of 5%+.... less rad and more pace

    Searching out the limits on the V20.

    I know that for a long time I have used the boom out at full length but honestly if you want the power then shorten that boom so you can heel into every rotation of the cranks with your ankles. Then perhaps you can practice sprinting down into the pedals like a DF pushing side to side.

    Does strava have a profile for cruzbike vendetta?

    I will change it to a v18... guess no one ever made a V18

    Does strava have a profile for cruzbike vendetta?

    I guess the thing I would like to know if strava works out power by sample aggregation of bike name categorization. I guess then they can work out averages from other peoples power meters. I do think the technology is very clever. It also helps I guess to have a popular bike that everyone loves...

    Does strava have a profile for cruzbike vendetta?

    My latest reading was faster but the wattage lower ... pretty sure the headwind was a bit stronger too and this was just done on my wahoo bolt without a power meter. The 2nd was on a road bike ... almost the same speed with 90 watts more. Just find it surprising as I wasnt drafting off any...

    Does strava have a profile for cruzbike vendetta?

    I say that as I am quite amazed after reviewing my latest ride. I have been trying a few things and in no way was i going max but somehow it knew approximately what my wattage was for the vendetta. I am shocked.

    Are there new V20s coming out?

    If you are running disc brakes you could use a 650b wheel and a 30mm tire... ultra comfy.

    Helmet recommendations for v20- mine keeps moving

    Similar sort of thing about helmets... I have never found a helmet where you could micro adjust a visor. I cycle in desert like conditions with dust in the air at 50kph is a nuisance ... I would absolutely adore a helmet with visor that works too. I did notice some glasses that have adjustments...

    Anybody else's kitchen look like this??

    I am curious... the v20 hanging from the chandelier has a chrome fork? Is it of old?

    A 1000 km solo brevet around the south of Norway

    I have a question... I enjoyed the video for sure. I noticed much more traffic on the 2nd half of the journey. I noticed too that at checkpoints you seem just to get a receipt for something to show that you had been there at that time. Do you need to hand in the receipts to show that you rode...
