Yep a bad year to skip Yep a bad year to skip Sebring. Not only is it almost Vendetta nirvana down there but Bob sent me his crappy Minnesota winter weather: -11F for the morning with up to -35F windchill... Just kidding Bob but please take it back. I don't like it. 3000 Miles to A...

Man this would have been a Man this would have been a great year to NOT skip Sebring. If I was there that would make 5 Vendettas. Jim, Maria, Larry, Gary, and me. Is there anyone else with a Vendetta racing this year? Your weather at the moment looks a bit cooler than it was on Friday last...

Good luck and best wishes! Good luck and best wishes! Remember to ride to your plan. It is easy to get sucked into the rush to jump on in front - unless of course that is your plan. Sebring is a lot of fun, looking forward to your race reports. Remember to watch for sand and grit...

Yeah but it is a factor of Yeah but it is a factor of the overall VeloTilt design. That same page has a link that goes back through their earlier efforts at a tilt-lock. The key break through for Wim's team seems to be the new grip lock component. They started with essentially a disc brake...

Why is the bell crank on Why is the bell crank on those sliders? Is that to account for different sized wheels and/or framesets? -Eric

Hamish, now try working out Hamish, now try working out the TTRIKE dynamics. Did you see in the video how Maria seemed to get a kick out of riding no-hands? -Eric

Tilt-Lock designs Jim, although the design specs are quite different I would strongly recommend you guys get with Wim Schermer, if you haven't already, and look at what he and his team has come up with for a tilt-lock for the VeloTilt. Even if that solution is not suitable for the TTRIKE there...

Since there is supposed to be Since there is supposed to be an entirely new web site and forum next month, you might want to just wait.... I and others can probably help you if you wish to keep trying but keep in mind all of the old content may no longer be available depending on how...

Jim - come to the Waterford, Jim - come to the Waterford, MI HPV races usually in May and bring a spare TTRIKE adapter for me. I'll race you in both 2-wheeled and trike mode for all the races that we can make the logistics work to compete in. I assume the rear assembly on the version 2.0...

Interesting - the Interesting - the velodrome scenario may be one area where the offset TTRIKE design could be an advantage. Of course that also continues to suggest this design may work better with right turns vs left turns or vice versa rather than being equally adroit at turning in either...

Rick, looks like you are Rick, looks like you are going nowhere fast the way those are spinning... -><- -Eric

Larry, the last two years Larry, the last two years Sebring has been more windy and gusty than what you describe above. Steady winds up to the 20mph range with gusts up to the 30 mph range if I remember correctly. And cold.... -Eric

I believe the Black Max I believe the Black Max builder, forgot his name, ended up taking the tilt-lock brake off and just relied on stiction after some more extensive use. In other words he keep the hinge point or points a bit tight so if you were standing next to the trike just holding...

Cantilever or offset is not appealing to me Personally, I don't find the cantilever/offset design particularly appealing from an aesthetics perspective. Is there an engineering/physics benefit? The Raptotrike prototype which I've mentioned before is symmetrical and is also designed to be a...

CF Tailbox design I would prefer a CF tailbox that incorporated a quick connect/disconnect design vs fixed if at all possible. -Eric

Matej, judging from the front Matej, judging from the front view where you can see how far past the seat edge the fairing edge is, it looks like the tail fairing edges are about where his shoulders are. -Eric

I like front wheel 1 and rear I like front wheel 1 and rear wheel 2 and second the new Cruzbike logo incorporation.... -Eric

If you are comfortable If you are comfortable maintaining your 20 mph (33 kph) pace for your 62 miles (100 km) for your 3 hour rides and don't feel all that stressed from a double century then as long as you have good route planning and know where you expect to sleep, eat, excrete, etc then I...

Still looks kind of hefty to Still looks kind of hefty to me, even in black so I'm not sure of that slimming claim... Did you shorten your headrest rails too? I trimmed mine down to get the headrest further down my frametube to accommodate my shortliness. I've been tempted to alter the...

Flat rear No, it still looks good but I think that flat rear is going to conflict with your aero goals. -Eric
