    Urban ride among traffic

    Hmmm always been a dream to be able to cycle commute safely. In that traffic my risk assessment says one day it’s a likely problem for me. Driver error. or even my own. Margins are too close despite the actual statistics. Interesting you erred on the side of safety not filtering. Always good...

    Larry's Tailbox testing on V20 & Magic

    Adrian's V20 Tail Box

    @vosadrian mate I understand that sentiment. domes aero box is cavernous and probably constitutes a fairing. Great speed and applicable storage for audax. The brain bag barely makes audax duty though it can. so long as you’re having fun mate that’s all that counts. Go the v2 box. I’m looking...

    Adrian's V20 Tail Box

    From storage aero to aero storage is a slippery slope Vos Adrian vossi. Net returns here on in are marginal cutting edge. Interesting we were almost same wattage on weekend. So close despite my taller disadvantage. So maybe your box position could be higher mate closer to your shoulder top. I...

    Adrian's V20 Tail Box

    I must say having seen the finished product vossi has done a remarkable job. Very very professional indeed. Top notch effort . Vossi what safety precautions did you take mate as carbon fibre sanding etc is a health hazard. Perhaps detail your precautions so others might be made aware.

    Stock V20 Seat

    You should hang onto it . One day in your eighties you’ll move on to a trike and you’ll be able to sell your classic vintage v20 for a motza if it comes with the oem everything. Besides a year is not long enough. does it come with oem cushions ?

    My Very First Recumbent is a V20

    yep helmet clearance is an oft discussed topic. I use the ballista like Don most of the time. It’s an effort to find your fit and everyone’s journey is a variation usually a very slight variation for good reason. Ratz has covered this in his pinned post. Once fit is found well it’s...

    My Very First Recumbent is a V20

    hard to tell from photos. But if you are looking at the sky or having to look down your nose you need to let the neckrest further out again. I know it seems wrong counter intuitive but it’s correct. Letting the rest out further will bend your neck. We are talking some serious double chinning...

    My Very First Recumbent is a V20

    Vosadrian mate. Blurring vision is potentially dangerous. Especially since my vision is less than acute these days. The air stops the transmission of road noise to the noggin. Smooths out the big hits too. Touching your rest on the weekend I could see that it would blur my vision on rough roads...

    Wear and Tear

    Given the sufferage of bike manufacturers complying to the wide variety of human anatomical diversity nothing surprises me. Ever wondered why your cruzbike neckrest on the vendetta can pull stumps out of the ground and still be the best quality fastest bike on the planet? aussie brains are so...

    Headrest options

    mark if you are looking at the sky then you need to let the neckrest out. This will bring your head more vertical. You want to be double chinning it. Look at some of the side profile pics of larry etc. ok let out that rest. Sounds counter intuitive but it’s right. Also revisit the finding that...

    Titanium china copy of cruzbike

    now all you need to do is shove the inflatable bladder in the headrest and you’ll be saying yep told me that too. Indiana Dave. at walking pace I’m twitchy. Heck my legs are up above my bum. small wheels hmm. Might possibly add to the teething issues. Go to the car park do figure eights...

    V20 Bottom Bracket

    You might also try cleaning and relubing the crunchy bearing as a last resort.

    V20 Bottom Bracket

    Vossi I’d imagine hope a local bike shop would have a gpx bottom bracket. Yep ceramic bearings are mostly just ceramic balls on a metal race offering nothing for mere mortals other than bling. It’s crazy but some of my easiest spinning cranksets were square taper jobs. I guess the sealed...
