    Please... someone talk me out of this upgrade

    This video is like a dream... a dream of beauty... To concentrate the body and the mind to go at high speed on a Recumbent Low Racer bike in order to perforate the reality... and then connect with nature in silence, eat her fruits,explore ancient villages,contemplate aphorisms and go even deeper...

    Please... someone talk me out of this upgrade

    OK... I like manifesting... developments Instead of spending crazy money with Campagnolo ... take a look at the black water cyclist on YouTube . Basically I can get the upgrade to 1x13 by keeping the sram crank and ordering a modified axs cassette, extender,novatec xdr freehub,kmc 12speed chain...

    Please... someone talk me out of this upgrade

    Hello "The feet is not spinning but the mind is" Never dealt with Campagnolo but I am thinking of using their Ekar 1x13 drive chain. Will the axle of their crank fit my bb? Will the cassette fit my hub or will the hub have to be replaced? I am thinking of ditching the weight and make things...

    V20 crank length?

    I have a rotor elliptical chainring 54t. It's a beautiful daisy cutter... the trouble is... I go mega fast but the knees get knackered quickly. Its also shimano crank compatible. At the moment I am running sram rival 155 and the knees don't ache. If I want the speed... then shimano 165 cranks...

    I would say that's pretty dialed in!

    Vosadrian's V20 Journey - Australia

    A little mixed here. Every year or nearly every other year the Pro peloton run the gauntlet of the streets. Recumbent bikes are for the odd. The macho racers have to behave like the rams that are blissful fast thrshing the KOMs. Sure you get a lot of conversation ... it also generates fear...

    Vosadrian's V20 Journey - Australia

    HAàaa I hear you... wildside looks well over the top but at 40 something bucks... I had to see what it was like. So I did notice the old guy in the market painting bicycles on ceramic tiles.... maybe he can repaint the helmet? That would look a bit more like a masterpiece LOL

    Aero Helmet Visors

    Hey... just the thing. This aero helmet covers the ears so you don't get 30db of rushing air when you hit 50kph. I can sneak some aftershokz headphones underneath and the visor keeps away the dust and the bugs. Bit hot so I might make the holes a bit bigger. It scares away the dogs too

    Vosadrian's V20 Journey - Australia

    You will. Just don't rush at it. I personally prefer flared bars but there other speed record holders that prefer extremely outrageous narrow bars. Depends if you want to set records LOL

    Maybe the V20 is a fast bike afterall

    That aero helmet is huge. 2nd time out I used a halo sweat headband catcher under the mask and it blocked the air from whipping under the visor. The visor reaches the tip of my nose.

    Cruzbike S40 in Nairobi, Kenya!

    @ak-tux Why not get rid of the clunky pedals? Recumbent riders create a lot of turbulent air. Guess it might be difficult to get your hands on descent cheap gear. I haven't tried them yet but the Chinese speedplay lollipop pedals are incredible with only 69g each pedal and it lies flat on your...

    Tire Recommendations

    I just put on a couple of PirelliCinturatoVelo 26 mm tyres. I had a couple of issues with continental GP 5000 and I like the puncture protection technology better. They don't fit on a rim with a wider inner rim width of 20.4mm. They are a bit more expensive but if they last longer then it's a...

    Maintenence

    Oh boy... just back from an incredible exhilarating ride. For the last few times taking out the vendetta I have been getting some kind of door creaking sound from the front assembly of the V20. After testing this that and the other ... the only place left was the headset bearings. So ...

    My Very First Recumbent is a V20

    Go tubeless. It's by far the easiest solution
