    Sofrider Zwift project

    I noticed it swimming around a bit. Getting off center will drive me completely nuts. Will probably employ a little velcro in this "try before you buy," phase.

    Sofrider Zwift project

    Phase 2 Installed and rode around in the land of Zwift briefly. Anecdotally, the transmission of power (such as it is) seems to be more immediate. I experienced some discomfort with the seat. I may try to add a bit of length and width to it. The seat always seems to bury its nose in my spine. It...

    Sofrider Zwift project

    The first question answered. Mounted the hardshell - extreme bodge!- unfortunately, the seat in relation to everything else caused the mast clamp to rub my inner thigh on every pedal stroke. FAIL!

    Sofrider Zwift project

    First, let me thank ReclinedRider for the very nice Sofrider frame donation to my project. Further, he packed it so brilliantly, it must be noted somewhere for posterity. Anyone who knows my dodgy recumbent history would know - I am an expert on packing recumbents. Well done ReclinedRider. The...

    Beater/beat up Frame??

    You are too kind. I am not unfamiliar to the tribe. I have piloted both Silvio and Vendetta in the not so distant past.

    Beater/beat up Frame??

    Mr. ReklinedRider and I have made some arrangements. I will start another thread when there is something to report.

    Beater/beat up Frame??

    I am vaguely interested in finding a Cruzbike to dedicate as an indoor Zwift trainer. A frame not usable for outside might be just the ticket for this experiment.

    Vendetta TT - SOLD

    My brief experiment with the Vendetta is at an end. While I had no trouble riding it, my sensitive back could only enjoy the seat for about 20 miles. Oh well. 2015 Vendetta TT V.2 frame (lg) approximately 300 miles Carbon 1 piece seat w/Cruzbike pad Ultegra Cranks 34/50 170mm Ultegra/Mavic...

    My Vendetta adventure

    Unfortunately, it won't fit behind the fork, that would have been kinda slick. I stuck in on the front, but needed two brake washers and a spacer for the pads to clear the fork. It will require an uber long brake nut to work. I am little uneasy about that much torque on the brake nut. However...

    My Vendetta adventure

    Any big-legged-boy brake suggestions? I have these, but the recess in the front fork is making installation a bit funky.

    Has anyone ever used one of these on a Vendetta?

    My Vendetta adventure

    I received a second RD from the bay and installed it. As several of you warned, it too went on at an angle indicating the hanger must be bent. I removed it (the hanger) and could not tell anything was wrong with it. The metal was not stressed in any way, and had no signs of abuse. Well, no...

    My Vendetta adventure

    I am actually not sure it was all straight before. Since it snapped into place, and shifted OK, I assumed everything was straight. It isn't. It's probably a testament to the derailleur that it worked so well - regardless of where the problem lies. Oh well, I should have the new RD here in a...

    My Vendetta adventure

    I changed out the front tire with the intention of riding. Since it was in the stand, I noticed the rear derailleur was whacky after reinserting the wheel. Crooked - just not straight. I could realign it by futzing with the QR, but, what? I CAN CHANGE it by the QR? Ugh. Anyway, my obvious issue...
