Looks like you have up'd your engine too in 2020 - more power!

Robert - Do you have power/speed data to compare the 185 miles in 2019 with the 234 miles in 2020?

Stop adding weight when you see the tires start to bulge (it's what I always did when loading gravel into the bed of my pick-up truck) - so it has to work! :rolleyes:

My results: I rode in sustained winds of 20mph (with gusts higher) - It was "a little" scary! :eek: - but I survived! Obviously more testing will be needed since riding in high wind does not yield great results - but that will have to wait until I return from my Skyline Drive -Blue Ridge Parkway...

Well, it ain't pretty - but it's ready for a test ride. Of course while mounting the seat and trying to get and headrest that was acceptable, I remembered why I have never really found a 3rd party seat that I liked more than the Vendetta stock seat: All other seats I have ever seen or tried are...

Congrats Neil. Now the fun begins! I have really only used SRAM/Shimano parts and have found that many items are interchangeable. Here is a link talks about it: https://cyclingtips.com/2017/12/mixing-road-groupsets-what-works-together-and-what-doesnt-2/ and another one - some cool history too...

That just sounds so .... odd! :rolleyes:

I am not sure if this model of Silvio has the lugs in the frame (front and back) for disc brakes. If you (plc2) can post a picture of the other side we can probably tell. A bike shop would need that info too.

It is all indoor

He still rides his V20 a lot on Zwift - especially the TTT's. He just wanted to work on his upper body some.

Just about perfect conditions out there for me today - new PB too! Only 4 secs off of my all time best on my Magic- I am actually surprised I was able to ride as hard as I did - as I road a pretty hard Century on Saturday and thought I might have had more fatigue! Still sweaty humid here at 97%...

So funny - I also had an MI and M5 CHR with a Kent Polk Custom seat. I still could never get either of them to really go any faster than the Vendetta for me. They were all neck and neck! But I am short 5'7" and the other 2 are built for taller people. The foot strick and chain rub on them both...

No, it is not custom. I thought I would see how well this fit first before I ask Greg to make me a custom one. I am having a custom one made for Magic though - hoping to have it back in a week or so. Been hard not having the Magic to ride around on now going on 7 weeks. I was riding in in the TT...

He sent me 2 lids - one recessed and the other not.

I almost forgot I ordered this from Greg at Thor. He told me it could be months before I got it. Ordered one of his seat with the shoulder support, a headrest, and a tail box. Wow - I think I might could disassemble the V20 and put it into this tail box! Polish Peanuts: Tailbox, Seat...

Wow Kerry - You win the "most frustrated" award for the week #18!

My guess would be that they are not using the bike classification. But I guess you can test that pretty easily by changing the bike type and seeing if the wattage numbers change

I don't know how smooth I am, but I think I have gotten better. I have actually been riding a lot with one arm anyway to try and get more aero. So one hand on the brake lever, and the other one still on the handle-bar but right next to the stem. If I needed to turn or if trucks or big wind come...

Strava's est wattage is based on an average road bike I think. Way higher than what you would do on a Vendetta. For instance here is my ride 90 mile ride last weekend recorded on my Strava app on my phone: https://www.strava.com/activities/3981873193 = est wattage =224 watts Here is the same...
