Got my V20 in Oct. and used it on a trainer all winter. Made some modifications to the seat to allow me to adjust the angle to make it easier to use to bike on group rides. The photos give an idea of what I did, it is similar to some modifications shown in other post on the forum. A cable and lever from a dropper post operates the spring-loaded aluminum pins to allow the seat to be set at 3 different angles. The seat was molded from the original and is hinged at the lower back level.
Finally got out for a 20km ride to get a feel for the difference from my Q45. Kept the seat in the ~40 degree position and it was not too hard to get used to. A lot less wobbly than the Q45 and perhaps a bit slower handling. Tried a few of my 15-17% short hills and was pleasantly surprised how well it climbs. No surprise that even on an easy ride it felt much faster than the Q. Very pleased with the overall feel and looking forward to a few rides with friends to compare performance with the Q45 I have been using.
Have to fabricate a head rest before any long rides but looking forward to a summer of riding.
