    Vendetta versus Silvio on less-than-ideal road surfaces

    No, the were relatively easy to get on. I'll let them hang there with the tubes for a couple of days and then see if I take them off they will stay a little more again the edges. So, where you able to get your mounted tubeless then? I thought I read you stub tubes in yours too? Man - Those...

    Vendetta versus Silvio on less-than-ideal road surfaces

    Holy guacamole!! - 58 Kg for 170cm - last time I weighed <127 lbs) I was about 11 years old! Even at 160 lbs, I am not considered fat or overweight. You probably can't ride in anything higher than 25kph of wind, or it will blow you off the rode. Not sure if you have tried this or even want to...

    Vendetta versus Silvio on less-than-ideal road surfaces

    I'll be anxiously waiting you results with the Pro Ones Ratz! Yes - also tried dry mounting them, even with the "special" Schwable mounting fluid, that looks like a $10 little bottle of soap to me. It just seems to me that both tire edges do not want to lay against their opposing rims at the...

    Vendetta versus Silvio on less-than-ideal road surfaces

    Yes, I tried a compressor too - 150 psi. even took out the valve stem to get more air in. LBS did the same to no avail. Yes, I also had the time unfolded and stretched around the rim for 4 days before trying. Also, double layer of tape, putting sealant in first (what a mess), compressing the top...

    Vendetta versus Silvio on less-than-ideal road surfaces

    Snilard, Do you have them mounted as tubeless? I just got my 700x28 Pro One tubeless and also a set of CF 86mm rims that are 27.3mm wide on the outside, but have tried everything imaginable and can not get the tires edges to seat to the sides. Even LBS and Schwable customer service stumped. I...

    What did you do to your Cruzbike today?

    Nice! SO you pull the entire thing out when loosened, or am I missing something? How do the headrest tubes stay in their place in the 2 pieces of Delrin?

    Deep Rims

    Larry, I wonder if you can get a disc brake with this wheel? Here is one of their listings: You can ask them a question off of ebay. http://www.ebay.com/itm/221854158959 The issue obviously is with braking and the carbon rim heating up. I think if you use the special pads for carbon and be...

    2016 HPV Fun Day

    You should do it! It is an amazing experience. It doesn't look super banked, but try and hold the line in the curves (at your max speed of course) - harder than you think it would be. Make you sure take video of it too!

    My Vendetta V2.2 for sale on BROL

    I just looked at the listing on BROL, and the seller of this bike has reduced the price pretty drastically. I quote: "I'm looking for something close to $3300 for this fine ride." What a killer price - especially with those wonderful wheels! I'm might have to go get a 2nd job so I can buy it...

    Hello, recumbent noob

    haha - I remember getting my Silvio back in June, 2014. I picked up the same speed and just reclaimed my love of riding and riding fast. I just could not get enough just wanted to ride more and more. I hate to say this, but start saving for a Vendetta now because you "can and will be more...

    The Road to 500 miles in 24hrs

    Great rides Jason - almost feel like I was there beside you! This is great data! It would be great if you could ride the same route on a fast road bike and swap your Vector Pedals over to it and just see what kind of wattage differences there are on different sections. (Or just ride side by...

    The Road to 500 miles in 24hrs

    Put a couple of really tall flags on back end of your bike - That way they can you passing them for longer and also know you have the extra wind resistance. It will be beautifully & wonderfully demoralizing to them! :) You can also just ride beside the pack always breaking you old wind - and be...

    Must Start to finish

    Correct Ratz! I don't rotate or re-wax mine until I hear then squeaking a little - maybe that's bad, but it's hard for me to keep track of the mile. Plus outdoor miles I think are a little bit harder on the wax - especially when it is either raining or really humid. I think the MoltenSpeed wax...

    Must Start to finish

    I also do miss that type#2 RD lockout. It should just be standard on every derailleur in my book. But since I wax my chain now and don't have all that grease to deal with, I don't hesitate just to pull the chain off first when I am taking the front wheel off. It makes it so much easier. With...

    Power Meter FTP testing

    Here you go. Adjustable from about 90 to 150mm. It does increase your Q-factor a tad, but I personally never noticed it, and have them mounted permanently on my M1 right now.
