Either go tubeless or tubular... clinchers just peel off the rim when they flat and you just slide along the ground. I don't fancy the glue so I go with the gunk. Joking apart... there is one sealant that rules all and that is Orange Sealant :) (that seems very hard to get)

Hey.... I read an article about how a Microsoft konetic was used to replicate a 3D t-rex head. Perhaps it can be used on a Silvio too. Bombing down a mountain doing the Jason jumps at 45mph on curve apex has to produce quite a lot of tension on the forks. Not sure how Ti works with this as its...

Well if it takes 20 minutes to produce a S40 then perhaps $500 aud. (Can't see that happening somehow). Or perhaps I can ... just think of the profit margin pro rata. $$$$ It would have to be a win win. And the process will be done in Australia from where the cruzbike story started...

@snilard : Why not carry a few links in your pockets? Do riders really take two chains with them for 1400km? Half way round just stop into a garage and get the bike sprayed down and get and use a can of wd40. Chuck it away afterwards. All done in 5 minutes. And you don't disturb the drive chain...

I'm another David. The bike is a bit of dream bike. It's nice to feel like a kid again. Whenever I take her out I say I am just going out for a little ride but quite often it is all but kicking butt. It's so hot in the south of Spain that all the fast riders from Madrid come down to the summer...

That's an old Shimano Ultegra crank. New ones have 4 bolts. Has anyone seen elliptical chainwheel guards (Not that I would ever imagine putting one on)? :rolleyes:

Enjoyed the write up and pleased you didn't fall. Looking forward to the RAAM write up too.

If there is a fast peloton going uphill , think twice about passing it. It was weird. A lot of expensive bikes wizzed pass me as I reached an intersection. These guys were motoring. 42kph. And then I said did I want to? I only had plans of going out for a casual 150watt burn. I eventually...

Wow.... a house built in 24 hours.... and a bike in 20 minutes... I want a 3D aeroplane next so I can fly my Vendetta around. :rolleyes:

Heck.... It's a game changer. Twenty minutes to 3D print a bike! Next I bet they will be printing cheap houses using the same process. If they want to grow fast then think franchise. Awesome news. Perhaps carbon might be "on yer bike".

I spent probably too long on my QXL ring on setting number 5. I decided to switch this weekend. I have a nagging left hip so it was time to give it some more love. I changed the position to number 4. I changed the cassette too to a 11/32 and changed to red Look cleats to give me more float. Gosh...

I wobble less with circular chainrings

In the beginning you are always fighting the bike.. even now I still constantly say relax. It is an incredible feeling. I have been watching the Tour de France. That type of racing is so different. V is more of an enduro racer. Something you can ride every day. Even if you are 50+. I love riding...

I hadn't thought of camera angle. If his bars are 42cm, it would be ideal unless your name is @LarryOz

Some hills just go on and on. It's best just to sit back and keep the cadence going... from the video it looked as though Marco's arms are wider than they need to be. Eventually every climb gets to a descent and then everything works better if it's aero. I am actually quite impressed with his...

Only because he was told to. Can't have him falling down in that race. :rolleyes:
