I don't know how much of an affect it has on power. The comfort part imo is pure individual. I like the simplicity of a single chain on my trainer. As for using my arms, I am again not much help. I generally hold my hands on top of my head for the majority of my Zwift sessions. The shorter...
I want to use the front end of a Q451 on an existing trainer. The condition of the bike is irrelevant, no seat, no pad, or rear triangle is ok for what I would like to do. I currently employ a softrider front triangle and think the Q451 might lower the front end. This is the goal.
Most of this is mostly true.
The real highlight of the evening was LD passing the 'yotes. It was rumored several of the coyote riders switched to cornhole as a result of this race.
As much as I would prefer to rag Henry - I must praise his effort to organize this event. Lots of fun.
BTW it's Recumbents Across Texas - not, definitely NOT, Race Across Texas.
