Starting to think you're right. I don't use 34/32 or 34/28 - too spinny, unless I get tired on a long climb. I prefer to do starts on 34/25. Also, I spin out sooner than I'd like going downhill. But looking at the gear calculator, you only add a little over one mph at a given cadence. Is it...

Try new batteries.

I suppose I'm a group D, may change to group E depending on bike budget, desire to switch indoors with a couple of good outdoor months still available, etc.

Anyone going to this event this year? I'm considering doing the non-competitive century. Would love to meet some of you. I see some prominent CruzBikers holding records at this event!

I'm interested in joining, but not until October or November. I hope to be getting a KICKR around then. This sounds like a great incentive to work out more over the winter, and to stay out of rush hour traffic on weekdays the rest of the year.

More encouragement. I got my V20 in the beginning of January and spent a couple of weeks building it out. The weather wasn't great, so I only got to practice a handful of times in January and February. I did the parking lot drills and struggled like most of us do. I was disappointed that it...

Very nice. That's very close to what I was envisioning. Perhaps Maria could provide some details? Is the metal bracket attached to the neck cushion piece from the original ADEM mast assembly, or fabricated?

Has anyone actually done this?

I'm so glad this forum is here with all of you pioneers to share your knowledge and help us rookies. You guys are great. I initially tried the palms open and quickly stopped because I lost all the stability I had worked so hard to gain. Now I can keep a straight enough line to ride on the road...

Much quieter yesterday with the cogs behaving. Headrest much better too. Got my first "Hey, that's a CruzBike. NICE!!" from a DF roadie going the other way.

Nashbar has them for $149.99 and today only you get an extra 25% off. Got one for $120.

I gave this a try. Folded the open cell foam in half and pushed it to the top half of the sock. Added two layers of quarter inch memory foam to the bottom half. Moved the head rest in until it almost touched the seat. That seems to be working quite well. Found the rattle too. My cassette lock...

I assume you mean notch the top of the seat so the headrest can be pushed in further. Can't find Eric's pictures.

I think the height is okay. I have a relatively short torso and the tubes are pushed almost all the way in and it's comfortable that way for me. I'm concerned about the vibration mostly, and I would like to get my head more vertical so that I'm not looking out the bottom of my glasses all the...

The one on the Cruzbike accessories page?

I was thinking that yesterday. I also think speed is perceived differently than on a DF. It feels like you're going slower than you really are. I will have to try the inner tube.

I took my new Vendetta out for it's first real shakedown cruz yesterday. I rode 30 miles with a slow-ish group. The route had several long hills, a handful of dogs off leash, and quite a bit of chip seal. But the weather was perfect and I had no serious mishaps with the bike. Except the time I...

That box is awesome. Makes me want to try my hand. Has anyone worked with Kydex? It's a thermoplastic used to make knife sheaths and holsters. I think it would make a fairly lightweight, sturdy tail box and be easy to work with.

My story. I'm by no means an ultra endurance cyclist or racer. I'm an avid recreational type. My longest rides are centuries on flat land. My typical weekend training/fun rides are 30-50 miles with rolling hills. When I first started road cycling, I could hang with my group until the first or...

Good point. I wouldn't do it out in the wild. Well, not after what happened to me. :) This was just practice/play.
