    Are you a pusher or puller?

    Both and at the same time. I have two arms two legs one brain. Why limit the brains pleasure to a push or a pull when both are simultaneously on offer . Technique. I also think it’s related to boom angle , bb height and individual set up. I don’t pull push near as much on the sofrider...

    My Very First Recumbent is a V20

    when you wax a chain it needs to be scrupulously clean. The wax does not flake at all. See the video series above . Wax sticks coats metal. If it’s hot you wipe clean. Sparkles. Ooh shiny.

    My Very First Recumbent is a V20

    vossi I use this method. Once set up it’s easy. Yes it’s an effort to set up and strip a new chain. But after it’s very easy. I won’t go back to oil ever. Clean chains rule. And they last 7000 - 9000klm plus easy . I put a new chain on at 75% wear. I run two pots. One wax and paraffin oil the...

    The G4 Bicycle , Potential MBB/Cruzbike Diversification Candidate?

    Interesting but sales are all. Interesting has not passed muster many a time disappointment the end result. I personally am happy with the cruzbike. Yeah wheel flop can be a very minor concern along with front wheel slippage. But the positives are so good they outpoint any other design I’ve...

    2021 6-12-24 World Time Trial Championship

    Tough stuff. 12 hour effort. Best wishes. When it gets tough hang in there. Ride smart ride safe. And go go go. downunda time and motion work in reverse so we always start finished first and are automatically disqualified.

    aerojacket cover on my Vendetta :)

    you are 100% right vossi. A flash update of my ftp from 265 to 270 based on one hour and some minutes ride is laughable and meaningless. Power meter on my kickr has not been calibrated and same for my power tap hub meters . Mate I never could hold 340 watts for ten minutes. Even in my dreams...

    How to make your Vendetta as fast as possible

    Great review vossi. Mate I would say yoleo do a good job. Communication for me too was a little difficult. But they do stand by their product and the quality is as good as any at a very reasonable comparison price. They do get a decent review. And fix any issue under warranty. after having rim...

    Wipeout Wound: Healing Lost Skin, Road Rash

    hmm I can ride my sofrider no hands but not the vendetta. My bb is high on the v. So now I don’t try no hands on the v. Probably just me. I can ride the brevet and hurricane no hands. Df too. I feel very stable on the v and it is my favourite bike of all. It’s also the fastest.

    aerojacket cover on my Vendetta :)

    you are right. Getting old is a privilege and there is no gain complaining about aches and pains. Someone out there has or had it much worse. So I got back on Zwift. Kickr smart trainer but my Bluetooth hr monitor is rust. Rode 50 klm. Told me my ftp is 270 watts. Sweating. Was good. The ride...

    aerojacket cover on my Vendetta :)

    yep we are all physically different. Being smaller is an aero advantage. Edit but longer limbs have a mechanical advantage and the air is better up here. ;) the consensus seems to be knees at eye level no higher as you’ll see diminishing returns. chain stays I thought once came in five sizes...

    Cheap disc wheels $45 very very light.

    vossi if you do contact dyma one person company and he is supplying again let us know. scientifically I saw with both wheels discoed up with abs plastic covers a 1.5 klm per hour extra at 40 klm per hour efforts on track. But front wheel disc is very dangerous in any wind. glad you avoided...

    Cheap disc wheels $45 very very light.

    vossi @vosadrian last time I enquired about dyma covers he had taken them off the market. This was a few years back. He cited safety concerns and did not know if a return to market would happen. The dyma covers have a lap joint to conform to all dishes of most wheels. That’s why I went with abs...

    When cruzbike did their aero testing in the windtunnel Jim compared to larry and Maria was much less aero due to his taller bigger body. Check out the blog for actual watts.
