I expect that the SA headrest should be behind the neck and below the helmet, otherwise wouldn't the helmet be pushed off kilter when interfacing with the pad? That is how I plan to mount it if I get one. Right now I am experimenting sans SAH and the next phase is to velcro and large sponge onto...

That probably depends on whether or not you have a big bum. ;-)

I find I wobble less if I only drink one bottle of scotch at night.

So, about 3.18 oz gain, or about the same weight as a responsible size chocolate bar? :p

Thanks Jeremy. As someone said earlier, the SAH attachment which you show does look pretty heavy, which is a shame considering how light the rest of the stock bike is. A better solution somewhere else?

Joe said: "Also, the organizers are retiring and are looking for new management." I hadn't heard about that, any further news if the event will continue? Two other events I know of; The Silver State 508 and the Texas Time Trials are also handing over to management companies either to run the...

Joe said: Next year, I'll be paying better attention to the heat. I was riding my standard bike the other day doing a 200K perm in mid 90's temperatures on a fairly hilly route and by mile 76 I was exhausted walking hills I usually fly up and found a shaded spot next to a church and slept for...

Just for me being new to riding recumbents: David, can you explain this comment: "If he had narrower bars , lower head and tighter jersey it wouldn't have been over in flash" Ak: and this one: "I don't think one can generate that much power uphill on narrower bars" Thanks. Ken.

Suz, is it possible to add a spring washer to the screw? Ken.

"It looks like it will adjust any way you want, and if they used it for RAAM I'd imagine it's pretty sturdy. I don't believe they did use this headrest for RAAM. Two of the racers wouldn't have need it and the other two used other systems as far as I can tell. I am awaiting an email to confirm...

That's what I was worried about. I did try to make a fix with two toilet rolls (and velcro), but I could only position them so they were at neck level and not my head. So, still working on a solution. :rolleyes: It would have been nice if Cruzbike offered an extension of the actual risers...

Do an V users have experience with the 'Suspension Adjustable Headrest' sold by Cruzbikes? I need a headrest higher than the headrest that comes with the bike and so looked at the accessories available and found the above item. The issue for me is that the vertical piece of (plastic?) on...

Thanks Zzzorse, I've copied it and printed it and I'll go and find somewhere to practice it. :eek: Ken.

Thanks for all the replies, I was partly hoping you would all say; "Forget, it, these things are impossible to ride and none of us ride them anymore because we've all smashed up the Vendettas and we still haven't come out of the hospitals yet", but here I am reading so many of you are actually...

Hello everyone, It's been a few months since I last tried out the vendetta, the weather is slightly cooler now so ultra distance riding is back on the calendar. But I NEED HELP!!! Sorry, didn't mean to shout but I am so frustrated I could cry or spit or do something really rude in the...

Good grief! Now the pivot clamp is jammed inside the slider, don't know how that happened but no amount of tugging will free it. I tell you, if I had a shot gun I'd shoot the thing and put it out of its misery. Ken.

Jim, I think locating the water bottles behind the seat will not work unless the user was extremely flexible - and aren't most of your customers geriatric? ;-) Best to devise some means of positioning the water bottle cages along side the rider next to the seat. If I ever get my vendetta in...

Jim, I can't imagine than locating the water bottles behind the seat would be much use. How would anyone get hold of them, unless they were extremely flexible - and I think most of your customers are geriatric, aren't they? ;-) best to find q,. '-0

Well, I am happy to report that I am luckier than I deserve to be - since I was the clod who forced the slider into the boom in the first place - and whether it was the WD 40 or the hammering or both, when I went back to the bike, straddled it and twisted the handle bars, to my great relief the...

If Eric is the expert in freeing sliders, he needs to come to my house. ;-) I've just had another go at it and it is firmly wedged in and no amount of hammering with a block of wood and hammer is moving it. If Eric is reading this, hopefully he will offer his suggestions on how he fixed the...
