    Flat

    I've had a front tire blow out on V2.0 from a sharp rock during an all-out, high speed, flat and straight sprint at night. The bike just keeled over fast with no way to control it. It was weird as it was in slo motion in my head but went down fast in real time. I think it was a few seconds from...

    First Vendetta Ride WooHoo!

    Still loving this bike! I do want to try one of those carbon packs but sold out! Comfy bike for a 50 yr old and fast.

    Any updates to this posting? Has anyone found a easy to install rear rack for the Vendetta?

    Diet: Low Carb and Ultra Cycling

    What is some good reading material for the LCHF diet? I am very familiar with Atkins diet but have not read up on the newer trends in low carb. Also what are some typical HF foods you eat?

    Diet: Low Carb and Ultra Cycling

    I have been doing low carb diet 3-4 months a year for the last 21 years. Mostly when my PT test (in the military) is coming up. It works incredibly well for me, normally in a 8 week period I will eat all I want but < 20 carbs a day, I will lose approx. 35 pounds. My 1 1/2 mile run time goes...

    Hydroforming titanium would be crazy expensive!

    Rear Rack

    Interesting, first real rack setup I have seen on a Vendetta. Do you think it messes with the passive rear suspension, does it make the bike ride stiffer in the back end? Also where did you get the additional struts at? Was the factory strut long enough to extend all the way back like that...

    Rear Rack

    I tried installing the Thule on the Vendetta but it would require me to cut off about 3 inches of the plastic table top to clear the seat, also the bars that connect to the rear triangle require a little strong arming to make them conform correctly but I do believe it would work. I didn't cut...

    Rear Rack

    I thought about the brain box but what I really need is a rack. The Vendetta could be such a great long commute bike with a rack. For me I like to explore places that are 30-80 miles from me, and need sometimes carry carry change of clothes, bike lock, food & water, rain gear etc. I am going to...

    Rear Rack

    Or these look easy to connect tubes on headrest. I really need some kind of rack for my needs. This one seems to be a good one. https://www.oldmanmountain.com/Pages/RackPages/FrontRacks.html

    Rear Rack

    Think this rack may work? They make nice bags for it.

    First Vendetta Ride WooHoo!

    Well scrape scabbed over nicely, that spray on stuff does seem neat. As far as the clip in theory, yes it would have been better had I not gotten unclipped so fast, but the XTR trail pedals I am using are set to release both ways and really low tension so I unclip very easy and very fast, it is...

    First Vendetta Ride WooHoo!

    Awesome, thanks! My mom, who is a retired nurse, gave me the exact same advice. Now for the bad, I am at a small AF base in Korea in a farm area (Kunsan) and am S.O.O.L. until sick call opens in the morning, I hope they have stuff like that here. I think I may have fractured some stuff in foot...

    First Vendetta Ride WooHoo!

    "My 28 mm Gatorskin measured 26.5 mm. My 25 mm GP4000 tires measure 25 mm." That is strange as my Gator skin is noticeably smaller than the GP 4000 II I had. I do not have to deflate the gator to insert rear wheel in frame for brake clearance but had to with GP.
