    Cyclic 12 issue.

    I have purchased 2 Cyclic 12 cameras. Both have had their on off switch fail. Can anyone recommend another camera? I have spent too much money on them to buy another. Interestingly, my Fly 6, the oldest, runs along nicely.

    406 wheels, tires, tubes

    Ok, the experiment failed. The S40 looked cool, but is just too hard to pedal. I’m going back to my 700’s. So, $160 for two Velocity wheels, Kenda tires and tubes.

    20” wheels?

    I just saw a picture of a stick bike with 20” wheels. I already have two sets of wheels for my S40, for 28mm road and 35mm gravel tires. But, the small wheels looked cool and I have a great gravel trail near me, so…. can I get a small set of wheels with wide gravel tires for off roading? Would I...

    Help needed, shifting issue

    I have an S40, with a SRAM Force 22 Yaw front derailleur. I am in CT and ride mostly flat country roads and rail trails in Mass. and CT. I am usually in the big chain ring in front and 4 or 5 in the back. When I come to a crossing, I shift down to the small chain ring, then up shift once across...

    Frogs for sale

    I have three sets of Speedplay Frog pedals for sale and 5 sets of clips. We switched over to SPD pedals for off road, and after taking the wrong shoes with me the other day, I have decided to go all SPD. They probably have less than 2000 miles on them, converting from flat to clips over time...

    Carbon seats for a Qx100

    Does anyone have any advice on a good lighter weight seat? I took my seat bottom off to modify it somewhat and was amazed at how much it weighs. I saw a picture with a Thor seat, but the Easy looks like it comes up too high in the front for me. Does anyone know if the Sport would fit? I would...

    Seat issue, help needed

    After a couple of rides on my new Qx100, I am getting a bruise type pain on the back of my left leg, high up near my butt, from the seat. No issues on the right. Boom seems correct. I also ride an S30 and V20 and have no issues with them. The front of the seat just seems a little too high...

    QX100 advice on tires/wheels?

    So I like the new bike on the local gravel rail trail, but find it to be a bit slow up hill (gradual climb for a few miles). Is there a way to speed it up? (I know, improve the engine, but I'm faster on my Bacchetta on the same trail.) Would better wheels/tires help? I don't know what the...

    New to me Qx100 with handlebar mod

    Just bought a used Qx100 to be used on gravel rail trails. Will replace my Bacchetta Att 26, which is a bit too tall for comfort. With the original bar, I felt like my V20 was easier to ride! I just didn't feel comfortable with the original bars, and I had a Bacchetta bar going unused, so on it...

    Help...ride south leads to salt encrusted bikes!

    Hello all. We have just traveled for two day with a Vendetta and an Encore on the rear of our car. Conditions were terrible, with salty slush freezing up onto the bikes. We have wiped them as clean as one can get them in a hotel. What should we do when we get somewhere with a hose and better...

    Riding the hoods

    What is the benefit of riding with your hands on the hoods? Is it just to have a different hand position, or is there another reason? Thanks

    V20 female riders

    I'm just wondering how many of us are out there, (besides Maria and Plucky Blonde) and what kind of riding you do. I'm basically an older woman on Medicare, ;), who wishes her body felt as young as her mind! I mostly do recreationaly riding with a mixed group of friends, averaging around 15 mph...

    Replace a Rival front derailleur with a Force 22 with yaw?

    My Silvio 30 has a 10 speed cassette, and with the Rival front derailleur, I am not able to use several gears on each end, as the chain hits the cage. My Vendetta has a Force 22 with Yaw, but it has an 11 speed cassette. I can use all the gears. So the question is, can I switch to the Force and...
