    Thank you but Rick is the teacher regarding the rubber blocks. He is the one deserving the accolade.

    First time on the road

    When you see those big vehicles in your mirror it is intimidating. Stop pedaling until those big vehicles pass, your bike will be easier to keep in a straight line. With more recumbent experience you will gain confidence.

    "Bruce, are the ribs on the underside of your Thor far enough apart that the seat mounts on the frame under the seat pan fit between the ribs? What did you bolt the seat to at the upper end?" Thanks Kline, The photos show the space between the ribs and the edge of the frame so that is...

    Seat Mod

    My new Thor Sport G (medium) seat has been installed on my Red Vendetta. I used the method described by Rick using two hard rubber supports for the seat. Both of these are about 70mm x 25mm x 15mm. Both required some minor working to make them fit. When finished a Dollar Bill would slide...

    Hello, recumbent noob

    The Spy Mirror is slightly convex so the field of view is good. Because it has so little mass it does not vibrate so the view to the rear is usually very stable. I also use two which I find especially good on curving roads and trails.

    Welcome to the site. Glad to see you have adjusted so quickly to the ride. It just gets better and better.

    trekking bars

    For the bullhorns on my V20 I started with a pair of shims. Each shim was cut in half for a total of four. Purely for aesthetics the factory beveled edges were installed facing one another.

    Anyone tried revolights?

    I wonder what happens to wheel balance while riding?

    Need help building up a Silvio 1.5

    There is a problem. Clicking on the link for the 1.5 brings up the general description of the S30. Will there be a link to instructions for the S1.5 and for the S1.0 as well?

    What I learned building out a pair of 2016 V20 Vendettas

    Concerning the steerer tube clamp spacers. At my height (168cm) I wanted to lower the handlebars as much as possible to get the best forward view and to lower the position of my hands. I shortened the steerer tube and did not use the spacers when installing the steerer tube clamp.

    "As I remember, that's a 6mm bolt." I just measured and it is a 6mm bolt.

    QX100 arrived

    While awaiting delivery read and understand the basic "how to ride" threads. After the Q is set up and ready to go the practical application (real fun) begins. In a very short time you will be amazed how easy the bike is to ride!

    Rigging Aero Bag on Vendetta

    Thanks all. A light load of food, a windbreaker and other items that are shed as the day quickly warms is my goal for the inside of the bag. For fluids, two bottles held on the bag should be sufficient for my winter riding. Next spring I may load all four bottles? There is a flat loop on...
