    Vendetta 2.0 probably for sale

    Opik, I'll find out how much the LBS (local bike shop) will charge to pack it up in its original box and if you say where you live (town) I could ask DHL the cost of shipping it. The same applies to all other interested parties. :) Ken.

    Vendetta 2.0 probably for sale

    By the way, this is the same model (with maybe some adaptions) that Maria Parker set the current 24 Hour record at Bessies Creek in 2016 of 458 miles.

    front wheel change

    After the mess I made of removing the front wheel, I took it to the LBS and paid $10 for them to put it all in order again. Not something I want to have to do on a regular basis.

    Love to get a Vendetta but?

    I believe Jacquie Schlitter (sp?) (of Schlitter Bikes or Vite) has one and I believe she still lives near Tampa. Go to Vite bikes and make contact. Ken.

    Love to get a Vendetta but?

    Bob, being the owner of a Vendetta - plus four road bikes - my experience is that if you are customary recumbent rider you can be fast on a Vendetta, but if you are an habitual standard road bike rider, you will not be. If you spend all your miles riding a Vendetta you will be slow on the...

    Vendetta 2.0 probably for sale

    I've decided the Vendetta is actually for sale. I have too many other bikes and I'm just not riding it enough, so offers? I'll let someone else enjoy it. :) I'll also post on the other recumbent site. ;) Ken.

    Think I'm Going to Love This

    A friend of mine who has an M5 and a Bachetta refers to the Vendettas as coming off Beta production lines since they need so much after market fiddling to make them operable.

    Think I'm Going to Love This

    This is the modification I made for the headrest issue: The yellow dog bone under the seat is my attempt to raise the seat angle - which actually works.

    front wheel change

    This may be a concurring issue with recumbents. Sitting on a standard bike saddle the bum goes exactly where it is supposed to go, but with the parkbench like arrangement on the Vendetta there is no such guidance and I find I am constantly shifting to get myself in alignment with the boom. I do...

    That would help, but unfortunately being male I don't have a hubby. :rolleyes:

    front wheel change

    One of the reasons I never ride the V more than an hour's walk from where I leave the car is for this very problem. Oddly enough, the new standard Cannondale Synapse bike I just bought has the same skewer arrangement and since I ride that multiples of 100 miles at a time, I really need to...

    If you mean sea cruising, I have done that a few times. Are you sailing from Seattle?

    2019 Cruzbike Summer Time Trial Challenge

    Actually, I have become quite good at it. It's the unclicking that is a bug bear. But that is the same with all my bikes whether I'm using SPD's or Looks.

    front wheel change

    "Changing a wheel or tire is never what I would call fun" Oh, I don't know. I can change the tube on any of my standard bikes on the side of a road in five minutes. I'm really rather good at it. "Zip tie is the key." I used a zip tie, didn't work - for me. "Please stick to complimentary name...
