    Sofrider on Tacx Neo

    That's it! The spacer came with the Neo. I remember wondering what it was for. Thanks Bill.

    Sofrider on Tacx Neo

    Looks like the Neo is designed for 135, but the Sofrider is 142. I see mention of a 142 adapter on the Tacx website, but it is for 12mm, not QR.

    Sofrider on Tacx Neo

    I've tried to mount our Sofrider on the Tacx Neo we recently bought so that Elisa and I can easily use it. But the fork seems too wide. Any suggestions? -Cliff

    Cobb 155mm crank.. should there be play when installed?

    I had two spacers in each side, between the frame and the BB cups. Two of them are 0.100" and the other two are 0.038". I removed all four, put everything back together, and torqued the crank down with every ounce of strength that I have. My wife had to hold the back end of the Vendetta down. I...

    Cobb 155mm crank.. should there be play when installed?

    I put a 145mm Cobb crank on my V20 a few months ago, and I had the same issue. I "solved" it by using the spacers. But the crank keeps coming loose. If I really tighten it tight, then the bearings feel way too tight; the cranks don't spin much when the chain is off. I have the RWC BB with...

    disc wheel for the drive wheel

    I loosened the QR, and the rubbing stopped. If I latch the QR lightly, the brakes work as they should. Seems strange that there is that much flex in the front triangle.

    disc wheel for the drive wheel

    I have TRP SLC on my 2018 V20, and the front 160mm TRP rotor aligns too far outboard (or the brake is too far inboard). I've adjusted the outboard pad as far out as it will go, and I've adjusted the brake as far outboard as it will go. Yet it still rubs a little even when the brake handle is not...

    Super Rare Vendetta Sighting on the Diablo

    Short cranks do not help with climbing, but they don't hurt, either. They help with knees (e.g., half-squats are easier on knees than full squats). This article: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/11417428 indicates that you lose nothing from shorter-than-common cranks. In fact, of the five...

    Super Rare Vendetta Sighting on the Diablo

    11-speed, exact-actuation. Got the idea for using 10-speed exact actuation RD with 11-speed exact actuation brifter from a post by @ratz . Next time. Maybe by then I'll want a real power meter bad enough to give up my Speedplays.

    Super Rare Vendetta Sighting on the Diablo

    What Jason said, though I descended via North Gate, and there seemed to be less traffic on North Gate than on South Gate. Besides the cars, the bike traffic itself can be a challenge. Near the top I got stuck behind a rider who was braking pretty hard through every turn. I nearly rear-ended her...

    Super Rare Vendetta Sighting on the Diablo

    Good to see you up there Jason. Good thing that wall climb isn’t any longer or I surely would have fallen over!

    Rojoracing Style DIY Carbon Wheel Covers

    I cut the hole that size so that the carbon would lay against the flat part of the spokes instead of the round part closer to the hub. Should the vinyl donut go under the wheel cover? BTW, when peeling the protective layer off the carbon, it cracked, preventing me from making the other side...

    Rojoracing Style DIY Carbon Wheel Covers

    Do you use any tape near the hub? Seems like it might flop around at high speed without something holding it tight there. I ordered the 0.008" carbon sheet from ACP Composites that you recommended at the beginning of this post.

    Rojoracing Style DIY Carbon Wheel Covers

    So far so good. Awaiting taping instructions. How about curved reflective tape at the outer edge? Definitely need assistance with how to hold it down near the hub, though. -Cliff
