Power is transferred cleanly and completely. The carbon frame absorbs a significant portion of the road buzz. We will probably upgrade all these components just to see how light we can make the bike, though any weight savings other than the wheels is only going to have a placebo effect in performance increase (IMHO). We can probably take off another 2-3 pounds by replacing the SRAM crankset with a Lightning crankset (about 300-400 grams difference), lighter wheels/hubs, lighter tires, shorten the top of the fork, and lighter pedals. With the SRAM Red groupset, Avid discbrake, Mavic Ksyrium Elite Wheels, Schwalbe tires, and Doubletap flat bar shifters, Terracycle idlers this large-size all carbon bike weighs in at 21 pounds. The unmodified Vk-Hi was too difficult to use in a commuting/low-speed situation (unless you are quite tall) and even then, the laid-back seating position is not good keeping track of chaotic traffic situations.īy switching out the front fork (650c) for a 20 inch fork with disc brake, the low-speed handling and ride improved significantly. The VK2 (and the NoCom), while good at track riding and racing are not suitable for any kind of commuting/touring in Asian countries. Thus far, this is the most versatile and best ride of all the Velokrafts. We gladly accept requests as simple as changes to fabric to completely new design requests created to you specifications!
