    Vendetta headrest

    How did you mount it? I was thinking about replacing the pad on my suspension adjustable headrest with a Ventisit pad. EDIT: Stoopid spell checker keeps changing Ventisit to Dentist... -Eric

    T50 - whatcha planning to build.....

    Got one of two bikes assembled except for the chain and derailleur. Chain has been ultrasonically cleaned and is about to get a bath in hot wax. Robert told me he would send me the missing derailleurs tomorrow. Had fun rolling down my driveway and even more fun rolling down the neighbor's...

    T50 - whatcha planning to build.....

    I have a black one in my kit. Appears to be sized to fit the boom. Cable stops for a front derailleur? Brake?

    T50 - whatcha planning to build.....

    Yep, welded on tubes where the seat skewers go are not square with each other so the skewers will not fit without truing the bore alignment between the two skewer tubes with a drill - gotta see if I have an appropriate drill bit or if I'm going to have to go buy one. Edit: I had a 7/32 bit that...

    T50 - whatcha planning to build.....

    Got a partial shipment 3 of 4 boxes on Wednesday, July 5th and the remaining box on Thursday, July 6. Two T50s complete but unassembled. Not sure how FedEx got the shipment split but no biggie. The "complete" part is a problem and the packing of same is a problem. Missing two rear derailleurs...

    Vendetta headrest

    I have the http://cruzbike.com/suspension-adjustable-headrest and like it but the pad mounting is unacceptable. That didn't last for a single ride before loosening and the pad began sliding and rattling in the mount slots. I expect to fix it with some different fasteners that will get me back...

    The more you know the safer you'll be on the road

    Keep in mind that like Doug Grosjean, Fastolfe uses his velomobile in lieu of a motor vehicle so he is out riding far, far more than the majority of us so statistically his odds of troublesome encounters are much higher no matter how careful he is... But yeah, I'd probably have been slowing a...

    S40 Build Notes

    That is a good idea. I'm guessing because the seat back angle is more upright. I think there will be a tendency to lean your upper torso toward the side of the seat during certain maneuvers. Those extra horns would certainly help to stabilize the upper seat better. -Eric

    S40 transformed into F40?

    I have a Strada. The "Strada DF" nomenclature never really made it to production and it became just the "DF" after the creator - Daniel Fenn. The DF is a carbon fiber design with far fewer metal bits and more carbon. It is lighter than a Strada and much stiffer. A Milan SL is very fast and quite...

    My new recumbent bicycle

    What size tires are you running? I just switched to 28mm Gatorskins on my V2 and the clearance is just enough but looks significantly tighter than your clearance. Make me wonder about geometry changes since my version. -Eric

    Little tweaks

    I want to replace the front triangle with the newer boom. slider, and chain stays too. I think this design gives you much better adjustability. -Eric

    There is a printed TS estimate for the different types of participants (solo male, solo female, 2-person, 4-person, 8-person) with first in and last in based on historical averages. There is also a semi-live estimate on the RAAM website. Go to http://www.raceacrossamerica.org/results.html then...

    S40 transformed into F40?

    Yes, my bad, technically a lean-steer similar to Robert Horn's S-Trike. See this thread on BROL.
