    First Vendetta Ride WooHoo!

    You'll find that clipless pedals make a huge difference as you'll be much more "at one" with your bike. I highly recommend not using them for first learning, but using them one you're comfortable (e.g. no longer pulling your get off of the pedals because you feel like you're losing control).

    Questions re: Silvio from a stickbike/lowracer rider

    If you saw my garage, you'd understand that I'm in no position to dock stars for messiness. But you won't see a picture of my garage because my wife would likely do bad things to me if she found out that I let people see how bad it really is.

    Adjusting to different seat angles

    Asking for spreadsheets (specifically .xls and .xlsx) isn't crazy, but they do want to be careful not to let you upload just anything. (And it is possible to have nasty things in a spreadsheet.) Another option: get a Google account and upload your spreadsheet to google docs. You can even set...

    Climbing on FWD MBB - a few questions.

    No, you don't have to dig your back into the seat. Indeed for short very steep climbs, I pull myself out of the seat, moving my weight forward to help prevent tire slippage. (I will also bridge for short periods of time for very quick power, but I find that I'm doing it less now that my core...

    First New Thread?

    I agree this works much better on mobile. Already digging this more than old forum. Chapeau! P. S. One oddity. It knows in on the East coast and shows the tight time. But it claims that the posts here are yesterday (which they are if you are in GMT).

    First Vendetta Ride WooHoo!

    Sounds like you're where you Sounds like you're where you should be! :) I completely agree with you about being clipped in. You'll get better at pedaling from a stop, although I sometimes use a scoot-n-slide where I walk the bike as fast as I can while sitting on it, then slide into...

    Conversion to Silvio 1.0

    Hi Liam,I do find that Hi Dan and Liam, Dan: Awesome! I'll be very curious to hear about your comparisons between your conversion and the Silvio. I do find that sitting up helps a lot on (short) quite steep hills. Clearly, if the hill is steep enough, you're going to have issues...
