Open Tubular Open tubular is just a clincher tire that requires a tube; but the carcass is usually handmade or of the same high quality TPI as a tublar. Instead of a sew-in they add a bead so you can mount them with a tube. They are suppose to be as supple and ride like a true tublar. In...

A picture would tell alot Kline, yes yours is the situation we were hoping to compare with, you are setup a fair bit out of phase from the pictures posted so far. But that might be completely correct. When your pedal is in the dead spot what is its angle relative to the ground...

rub a dub dub Rick, You got it; 110 everywhere around here so I can swap at will; and 165mm cranks so any bike can get the power meter. I think the reason we loose 11,12,13 on the Silvio when in the 34 ring and you only loose 13; is that we have a Wifli medium cage derailleur and...

Both are 110 Rick, Both bikes are using 110BCD; 130's just don't make that much sense for me; a 52T is about as big as I'd run and I like the flexibility of getting down to a 34 if I need to. So you're setup match's Mrs Ratz's. Your pedal angle in the photograph is probably more...

Pictures of the results Disclaimer I made the garage messy so some of you could actually view the pictures without discomfort. :) First the vendetta with a 52/36 and a 28/11 on the back. Picture taken at the dead spot with the ring orientated with the Etched position #1 as the first...

To Schlumpf or not to Schlumpf Just to add a note to the annoying problem of the HSD and SD shift position being right in the cruising zone. I had the same issue on a trike. The HSD and SD were really designed with folding bikes in mind. On something like the Software Rider; a Mountain drive...

Kline,Were the instructions Kline, Were the instructions you follow the recumbent ones or the standard ones? The recumbent specific instructions physical instructions resulted in about a 73-75 degree rotation reverse rotation of the ring from vertical (just measured it with clinometer)...

John,The Rotor instructions John, The Rotor instructions are interesting in their approach. The rings are considered to have 5 possible positions of rotational offset for mounting. Two are on one side of the ring and three are 180 degree opposite. Positiosl 1,3 and 5 are on one side and 2...

Excellent ride; awesome Excellent ride; awesome report. Very cool to see all your effort to dial in the bike rewarded with an epic first go at the 12 hour mark. Looking forward to your future adventures.

Interesting Robert, I worked on the same upgrade tonight. Interesting that like you we wound up with the factory etched markings; on the first bolt in front of the crank . That's a nice happenstance as it avoids marking up the ring with a sharpie. Per the instructions we wound up with ocp...

Dinotte Tail Light mount on the boom We are using a tail light mount from Dinottee http://store.dinottelighting.com/140l-140r-140a-tail-light-mount-p49.aspx It's cheap and it fits on the boom perfectly and the headlight works just fine on it. It does flex and jiggle but so far...

Vittoria PitStop and a Cell phone Don't ride them any more; but in my DF days I did. If you ride solo for distance you carry Vittoria PitStop; on a DF in your jersy back pocket; on a Vendetta you just put it in your bag or the pocket on the back of the headrest; the can isn't small but it's not...

Had the creaking front end on Had the creaking front end on the Vendetta. Turned out it was a bad front Skewer. Put my spare CB provided one in and poof all golden. I like simple fixes.

Also this... With Shimano on a 10sp will there is spacer between the wheel and the back of the Shimano 10speed Cassette. If you put an 11sp Cassette on a 10sp wheel wheel omit that spacer then the Shimano 11sp takes up just a tiny bit more space than a 10sp and it will fit your fork in most...

The front wheel is just using The front wheel is just using a MTN bike length 135MM Skewer Most trainers accept this type: Skewer

Wow that's looking a lot Wow that's looking a lot better. One last thing you can try. Those look like SPD clipless pedals. If so; mount the shoe bracket as close to the heel as the shoe allows. That will take a few more millimeters out of the leg bend. It feels weird at first but your legs will...

There are some docs that cover this nicely. See this thread on the Silvio; Vendetta is the same. http://cruzbike.com/mechanic-didnt-get-cable-run-and-rigged-front-derailleur-routing#comment-24800 And this one on cable routing from the build diary You'll need to be a BROL...

Been thinking I wonder if it would work on the Front wheel?

With you on that.... I found them to be too hot... Here's one alternative: http://www.ventisit.com/en/products/recumbent-bicycles#!/~/product/id=28856169

Marc any ride report? Marc, I'm curious how you like the brifters as bullhorns now that you've been riding for awhile? I've made the decision to change my Vendetta over to brifters as bullhorns in September, I like the narrower had position, it's more stable and solid for me; I really...
