Yes, SRAM Apex are easy to do. I have a set of 150mm, and 140mm. I have not ridden on the 140mm very much, but intend to experiment with them this year. They may work better for flat TT than the mountains around here, but I am not really sure. I will post my results of my testing though when...

Rick, I only hope that I can come there one day and ride them with you! Keep working on that Cruzbike Bunkhouse! Yes - Tarheel county - Actually Asheville Area. Biltmore House: Blue Ridge Parkway. Mount Mitchell, etc, etc

Hey - Thanks: Matěj, now following you too - Nice to put that Starva name with the Cruzbike name/avatar. Sounds like a nice "upgrade" we can ask for on this forum: Matching Strava and Cruzbike entities! All these questions about seat angle, etc. Be sure to dial in your boom length, and leg angle...

Ratz, I've got room to carry 5 bottles and can easily go about 5-6 hours on them, but we decided I should only carry 2 to lighten the load and always take 1 every 25 miles and have one for backup. Of course I lost the backup on lap 3 - bummer. I'll need to improve the quiver to hold them better.

Thanks Lief, Abbott, Bruce, Ratz, Rick, Yes the hand-off did not go well, but the fault was mine - I told Gary I would call him when I was close, but my phone was not working and I just showed up on the horizon doing 25. Sorry about that Gary! All the other hand-offs went off great, plus there...

Thanks everyone. Here is a rather funny video clip I made (from actual footage shot while racing during the Calvin's 12 hour event) of how to NOT ride in a peleton. It is probably what helped me win. It was obvious that I did not know what I was doing so no one paid any attention to me. Notice...

Thanks for the Kudos. That is awesome idea - "Save the Silvio". I have never done one of those things (fund me, or whatever), but I guess it would be worth a try. What is your timeframe for raising the money you need for this emergency and how much do you "need"? I know those are kind of...

That sounds like a good price to me - I think without the wheelset someone should be interested in the $2700 range. I agree with Bob though - kind of a bad time to have to sell it. Be patient if you can and explore all possibilities to borrow money for it, etc. Had any other calls on it? Does it...

Finally done. I think it took me longer to compile all these memories than it did to create them: Enjoy: https://www.dropbox.com/s/gogpjf30fbmd824/2015%20Calvin%20ride%20report%20Larry%20Oslund.pdf?dl=0

Thanks Jim - great write up and kudos to everyone on the "team" - I'll hopefully be submitting my ride report today, once I can get it through the editor! :)
