Good to know. Thanks.

Is the seat height low point of the new S30 the same as the original S30? -Cliff

Can a Sofrider V2 frame/fork take a 10-speed cassette? -Cliff

I have the Topeka Ridecase, and it works great. I have the 6Plus, and the Ridecase has the added benefit of making it easier to use the iPhone one-handed when not riding. -Cliff

My question wasn't so much about foot-steer or control. It's about the fact that on rides with a lot of elevation gain, I find that my biceps and forearms are A LOT more sore than my legs. I'm going to start experimenting with strategies other than pulling on the bars so much. But on grades...

I've been riding on Speedplay Ultra Light Action for just that reason. Sometimes when riding in city traffic it is unclip or die. -Cliff

When climbing or sprinting or just trying to avoid foot-steer, do you pull on the bars or push on them, or both? I have mostly been pulling on them, and I find that my arms get really sore after longer rides or rides with a lot of climbing. I've started doing more pushing, or pushing on one side...

Larry, the Hellyer velodrome has 23 degree banks. Not sure how that compares to other velodromes. What is the angle for the velodrome in Fort Lauderdale? Riding with the other bikes wasn't as daunting as I thought it might be. For most races I used my mirrors, which helped keep the spacing...

Sam, yes it's a Silvio S30. Riding in a velodrome with other bikes is really fun. -Cliff

correction: last-man-out. Wouldn't be much of a race otherwise!

I entered five races at the HPV Fun Day at Hellyer Park Velodrome: 200m flying sprint, 4-lap race for newbies, first man out, 8-lap race, and 30-min race. This was my first experience with racing (except for the ad hoc race that occasionally happens when an old guy on a recumbent passes a...

Last man out race at Hellyer Velodrome

Four lap race for newcomers.

Getting ready for my 200m flying sprint.

Watch out for the rough spots without clip-less pedals. Before I switched to clip-less, I would hit rough spots and my feet would come off the pedals. One time both feet came off due to a rough patch caused by tree roots, and I nearly crashed. With clip-less I've gotten air, and even a little...

I found the installation video on the Evelo website, so now I get it. They do say on their website that the BB sensor is for an "alternative installation", so maybe it isn't required.

@mzweili, what is the Omni pedelec feature, and why would it be difficult to install on a CB?

I'd recommend putting clip-less pedals on as soon as possible. They really help improve control. I started with double-sided SPDs, and set the spring tension to the minimum so that I could clip out quickly and effortlessly.

How does it compare with the Omni Wheel? http://omni.evelo.com

I got Lake CX237 recently. I like the wide toebox and the double boas.
