Wow! That's incredible, going from basically nothing to a 160 mile ride! Keep riding and next year you'll crush your PR.

But what about lowering the front and back, or just the front? On the other hand, didn't someone report that replacing an older Q's small wheels with larger ones improved his/her speed?

Would reducing the height of a Vendetta by mounting smaller wheels help it's CdA?

Ahhhhhh! Those aren't (neccessarily) bad cables. USB (well, before USB 3.0 which added 4 more signal cables) basically uses a four conductor cable. Mini and micro plugs have 5 pins, one pin is connected to the ground pin at the A end of the cable and left unconnected on the B end (so that USB...

Though I suspect an Aussie might understand.

You probably don't need RFLKT unless you want the form factor and reflective LCD display. If you have a recent Samsung or Sony phone, you already have ANT+ support in your phone. If you have a windows tablet or laptop, you can join in now with an inexpensive USB ANT+ stick.

May as well go all out: get a gimbal for your action cam, possibly with a remote control mounted on your handlebar like the RC aircraft people use. e.g.

Wouldn't it make sense to have a link to this event on the front page of the CruzBike web site?

I remember when 20 miles was a long ride for me. Heck, it was only two years ago when one time around the neighborhood--1.5 miles-- was a long ride for me. You just have to build up!

That's basically "flintstoning".

Pedal smoother. Variations in force applied mean at some points you're applying more force than others, the high force spots in your pedaling stroke are where you are most likely to overcome static friction and cause wheel slippage.

I tried a pair of baseball sliders that I found on discount for a very short test and they didn't seem to interfere with pedaling either.

You're looking really decent for a first time rider, keep it up!

I'm pretty sure this is the descent, the start of the video is about 0.1 miles into this Strava segment, you can see where they circle and go under that arch near the beginning. 7% grade for a bit over 6 miles. They took about 12.5 minutes so that's only an average 28.8 mph. Not surprising due...

Most bike shops are perfectly happy to work on my unusual and obviously klugey bike--it's a conversion kit bike--but one mechanic refused to work on my bike at all, after looking it over a few minutes.

As you get more experience, your pedal stroke will get smoother and you will be able to ride one handed (and eventually, no handed for a while). You can work on your skills intentionally,see various threads on riding technique. The first few weeks I had to stop to get a water bottle out or put...

The primary data store is the website. The Windows app, and I assume the Mac and iPhone/iPad app upload the data to the website after the workout. There's also manual control to sync the data on the laptop from the website (probably only needed if you have multiple devices and don't use the...

Yes, it's unfortunate that the Android app isn't ready, particularly since ~30% of Android phones have ANT+ support built-in. On the other hand, the app display is big and easy to read on a laptop screen. Generic USB ANT+ sticks are cheap too. If you don't already have one, I'd suggest a cheap...

I don't think I've ever tried pepper on strawberries. Macerating them in (decent) balsamic vinegar is good though.

That's a great price if it doesn't get bid up. How well do CruzBikes do on eBay?
