    Improved Clearance For Brake Pivot Arm - V20

    On my V20 I use a Moose Pack so the rear brake is on the upper mount point. The tip of the pivot arm is unfortunately very close to the frame. While the brake arm does not touch the frame there is no room to use a ferrel on the cable housing so that it will fit into the brake arm. Since...

    BentUp Cycles Aero Bag Installed

    Last Friday I received the new Headrest Cage Mount Kit from Cruzbike. I moved the two cages under the carbon seat to the new kit. Nice setup! I have had a BentUp Aero bag for a while but hadn't found a satisfactory way to mount it on the V20 neck rest . Because I am short the headrest is...
