What do they call the person who graduates at the bottom of his class from medical school? Doctor.

I aspire to be nearly as good as Larry bad performance! :D (And believe me when I tell you, that's already a completely unrealistic goal for me.)

34.9mm is what I bought for both my Sofrider and conversion kit. I would be shocked if this isn't the right size for you.

This mirrors my experience as well. I've found people very willing to help when I've done something stupid and fallen over. One time, I must have looked a bit dazed. The driver asked if I was o.k. I said I was. He told me he wasn't moving his car until I got up and was walking around.

You, sir, are very welcome. Enjoy France! (I'm quite jealous, actually).

Hi Dave, I'm of a similar size and I too find that when sitting upright, the bottom seat isn't padded enough. I think you'll also find that if you can lower the seat angle, you'll also find it a lot more comfortable. Groovy pictures! Cheers, Charles

I had bent by big ring on my Mantis and had removed and re-installed one of the pedals when straightening it out. I was a half mile from home when I suddenly felt a wobble in my left pedal, quickly followed by the pedal falling off completely. Since I was moving at a good clip (err.. sorry for...

Of course, that mitigation itself might be mitigated when riding the Vendetta as a unicycle... (since it's only one tire)

I believe (from looking at the pictures) this is a 451 Quest 2 (so has front suspension and dual drive). Somebody looking for a bike to take with them?

It's my impression that this is not a huge effect in bicycles. That being said, this is very testable (although I doubt the difference between 700c and 559c wheels would be big enough to easily see). Somebody with a Vendetta with the same hubs and same tires for 700c and 406c wheels should do...

I find it useful for all sorts of things (and it's quite fair to say I'm not hyper-organized).

Wait... 9 speed spacing and 10 speed spacing are different. You're not going to get a 10 speed cassette to work even if you only try to access 9 of the cogs.

So, I don't own a Vendetta and you should weight this appropriately, but I just don't buy it. 1) If you're concerned about the difference in weight, then don't eat that twinkie. There. Problem solved. 2) If you want both range and closeness of gear steps, it's very hard to beat a triple...

26T. But it's on a 20" wheel. It's morally equivalent to a 36T on a 700c wheel. You can see my gearing here. (I've got a 48/38/22 matched to a 11-32 on my 26" Sofrider. The gearing is a little bit broader than my Cruzgami Mantis).

Maybe one of your triples. My triple is a 50/39/24. That's a pretty nice low end (if I say so myself!). :)

Cough cough triple cough cough

Nice! :D

That's very solid logic. Climbing already sucks it out of you. Doing it in the heat just multiplies the effort.

Not a good solution, but you could add a front derailleur and fix it in place. It won't rub if the chain isn't falling off, and should prevent it from trying. You could also try something like NGear JumpStop. Try getting a trainer and riding your bike to see if you can make it happen while...

It sounds like you need to keep your eyes out for a used 451 Quest. Just one more suitcase and you can ride comfortably anywhere. :D
