    Vendetta V20

    I should note that the I should note that the diameter of the cups is important as well. For instance, that green middle BB in the picture - the EVO series from FSA, are 30mm bearings. That makes the cups too big in diameter to even fit inside the ring clamps, so even if the cup surface...

    FSA bearings... The FSA Bearing cups are dead flat, allowing for a very positive surface to surface connection between the ring clamp and the bearing cup. The SLK is a very nice looking crankset too, with the machined silver chainrings really pop against the black. Robert

    Going from standard to recumbent

    I am glad that all is going I am glad that all is going well! Indeed small changes can make a big difference - too often people don't take the time to really fine tune their ride and find that sweet spot. :-) Robert
