They are a hoot aren't They are a hoot aren't they? The best early learning wobbles recovery is to take your feet off the pedals. Practicing with Flintstoning is a good place to experiment with different hand positions as this is part of the reason to Flintstone in the first place. It...

I like the way your grips I like the way your grips mirror the rear profile you are building. -Eric

Looks like the silver bits Looks like the silver bits could be half their current size... -Eric

The video looked pretty good The video looked pretty good in HD mode. It had defaulted to 480p but I changed it to 1080p HD to watch it. All that green looks weird though. Bob and I, and probably some others, are stuck dealing with a lot of white stuff. -Eric

I like wheel02 too but what I like wheel02 too but what does wheel03 look like while it is spinning? And Rick, if I'm still sitting here staring at that thing a few days from now I'm gonna get you - once someone revives me from my coma. -Eric

You lost me on this You lost me on this statement: What does "soften your vendetta" mean? Also - ape hangers on a Vendetta just sounds very, very wrong... ?-Eric

Very cool. I am curious if Very cool. I am curious if you rode the stock Quest before your Questta mod and what your thoughts are concerning how the handling compares. When I started with the Quest loaner and then switched to my Vendetta I thought the more tiller like steering of the Vendetta...

Playing around with images Rick, flip the seat tube around to get the back reclined further where it is almost parallel and touching the seat tube and also move the seat bottom back more. I did this on my loaner quest and could not really reach the normal Quest handlebars but that configuration...

The problem is the collapse The problem is the collapse is most likely when this happens: Un-modified, the structure is extremely strong and, in my experience, does an exceptional job protecting the rider during a crash. I'm leery that this modification will result in the boom folding or...

Version 2 slider is 50.7mm OD Version 2 slider is 50.7mm OD at the pivot cage section and 47.7mm OD where it has been turned down so the tube section where the pivot cage oval cutout and welded skirt is 3mm thicker than the rest of the slider. I can't readily get the ID... -Eric

That is some major surgery When reading about the hole, I was following where you were going but my first view of the actual cut-out shocked me at how big it was. I agree with Marc and would have just lopped off the fork stem and ditched the unneeded spacers. I also get Gary's feeling...

What happens on the other end What happens on the other end when in the small chain ring? The FD mount should have some adjustment range to split the difference between the extremes for big and little chain ring. You might end up just rubbing at both ends but you might be able to find a...

Self-stability I skimmed through the papers and I'm not really into math all that much but I get the feeling their reference model doesn't quite accommodate some of the funky dynamics of FWD-MBB. I think the FWD-MBB design adds some more complexity to BOTH the holonomic (hinges and ground...

Larry, I've had mild carpal Larry, I've had mild carpal tunnel with both hands for years now but along with my social finger I would also get that feeling in my thumb and forefinger. I also started having problems with trigger finger with my social finger on both hands. My 24 hour Bike Sebring...

Mr V. (Alan) is legit and Mr V. (Alan) is legit and used to be heavily involved with HPV racing but his last crash on his Nocom left him very bitter about the whole thing. I've never met Alan in person but swapped some emails back in late 2012 when he was selling his Vendetta V1 after his...

I'm not quite 5' 7" with I'm not quite 5' 7" with about a 29" inseam and about a 40" xseam and the medium Vendetta fits me very well. I can plant both feet flat on the ground with wiggle room to spare when in the seat. I think the trickiest adjustment for shorter folks like me is with the...

I cut a small piece of the I cut a small piece of the closed cell foam packing material and taped it onto the seat under the cushion to fine tune the seat to my back. Works great but requires a little trial and error. There are a LOT of posts on the Cruzbike forums about hydration and...

I kind of miss the upside I kind of miss the upside down pictures though... -Eric

2014 Bike Sebring Data Larry, if it is helpful here is my 2014 Bike Sebring data. Same data but posted originally to RWGPS and then later to Strava. The elevation data should be pretty good as I was using my RFLKT+. You will want good lighting if you do the 24 hour as the track is not lit...
