Many thanks, gentlemen. Exactly the info I was looking for. GX 2x11 it will be. With the long cage, I should be able to even use the 10-42 cluster if I need it....

Ok, attempting to gather goodies for the impending Vendetta here...need some help. I would like to run the 11-36 cassette if I can...but SRAM site sez it is only compatible with the 1x medium-cage derailleur (or the long)...and the 1x shifters (presumably). I'm looking at the Rival 22 group...

Holy crap...it was sooooo hot and muggy. Made 28 mi and had to call it quits. Average speed went up one tenth (12.3! yay. :rolleyes:)...and I never once used the small ring on the front D. So...I think the new 'rotor' compact double (34/50) is gonna be a winner on the Vendetta. I gotta figure...

I will do my 'slow ride' tomorrow morning (on the V2/K)...as early as possible as it will be 95F tomorrow afternoon. I tend to ride the public roads here in town. We have an annual Marathon (Rocket City Marathon) and the route is well marked, passes by my subdivision and is mostly thru less...

Yah, I rode SPDs for years w/o any problems (on various bikes). I was going to go with Frogs this time until I demo'd a set...the total float was too much for me. No likee. I have a tendency for my right foot to float inward and tap the crank arm as it goes by so I need to have a 'stop' on that...

Thanks Robert! I wasn't even tempted to *call as I don't have all the necessary goodies in hand yet. *tempted to drive over and camp out on your front lawn...perhaps... :)

Ah. October is fine with me. I would be in the group to acquire all the accouterments over time. We don't really have an 'indoor training season'...lately "winter" here means you need a light windbreaker and shoes instead of sandals. o_O:confused:

Well, I have a Windoze laptop, so I can download/run the TR software...but it is the 'house' computer (ie, not available for usage while on an indoor trainer). I guess I don't fully understand the systems involved here. If I can collect all the required data on my Android Smartphone, can I xfer...

Um... Doesn't look like Android users can play. I see nothing about Android device options in TrainerRoad. Otherwise, I'm interested in giving it a go.

Received email a few minutes ago from someone called "Cruzbike", V20 is back in stock. Great, now I won't be able to sleep nights...until mine arrives. ;) I need to speed up my accumulation of goodies, apparently. Have cranks (Rotor 3D24 compact road, 165) Have BB (Enduro XD-15 "road") Have...

I've been in Nawth Alabama for 50 yrs...never liked boiled peanuts. I guess I'll never be a true 'southerner'. Miz Diane also dislikes 'em (and she's a native). I scored some of the Almond Butter packets at Target last weekend. Will give 'em a try.

I received my BB today (and my Rotor Cranks) but no wave washers. The "road" installation instructions don't mention them at all. I got three plastic spacers and two 24 X 1mm flat steel washers. I did get the neat torque tool...will have to scare up a foot/lb torque wrench...I have inch/lb but...

Ah, moved to a more appropriate place to discuss such things. Thank you, whoever it was! More background info: I was FD&H (fat, dumb & happy, riding a couple centuries a year, etc.) until I hurt myself in 2010 playing racquetball. It kept me off the bike for a few weeks. Then my riding partner...

Yah, I'm still on 1100+/- per day. I was 377. I never got cravings...but for the first few weeks, Miz Diane was eyein' me like I was a walking steak dinner. :confused: I hid all the kitchen knives. Probably should be discussing this elsewhere in the forum. Cravings for Vendetta...had those since...

Sorry, I lied about October...I started Jan 28th, 2016. Miz Diane started in October 2015 and I get them mixed up. Miz Diane and I decided that with 5yrs to retirement, we'd better get healthy. She got new knees in Oct (both at the same time :eek:) and started ahead of me. We're not exactly...

Thanks Ratz, I posted the same question (and mentioned the forum, etc.) to Chris but got an "out of office" reply...they're all gone for the week. When I order, I'll make sure I request the right stackup of washers. Much appreciated info. Not only is the V on backorder (July delivery expected)...

Awesome build diary, Ratz! I've got a Vendetta on order so putting it all together should now be a piece of cake. One question: Which XD-15 BB? I'll be using a Rotor 3D24 Road Compact crankset. You linked ( http://enduroforkseals.com/id240.html ) to the XD-15 but no mention (or I was just...

I'll let you know when my Vendetta comes in. :cool: I bought a set of SYZR pedals this weekend and attempted to mount them to my Conversion...fail. Couldn't get the old platforms off. I'll just wait till the V20 framekit arrives. ===Marc V2/k 700c V2/k 'fattie cruzer' 3sp Catrike Speed Optima...

Hi gang, I haven't posted here for a while... Well, since I bought a V2/K frame (I forget...some time ago). I've had my old "Mongoose" frame and fork just sitting around. When I converted to the V2/K frame, I also went 700c so the old frame/fork also still had both 26" wheels, brakes, etc...
