Jeremy, I have the boom on the last hole - so that the crank is furthest away from the rider - but if I pull the slider towards me, the crank will also come towards me. Ratz, I'll go back to the workshop and try your suggestions. I've found that the slider is wedged firmly into the boom, so...

The winter has been somewhat wet, but now I'm getting the Vendetta (purchased a few months ago) out to give it a try and am having some difficulties with my position on it. I've taken a few photos to show the problem but the error message is saying the files are too large. I'll try to find a...

Thanks Rick Thanks Rick, that's super. I'll work on it tomorrow. Ken.

I know many if not all of you know this one, but does anyone have a close-up photo of the Vendetta front derailleur installed? For the life of me, I cannot get the thing mounted the way it needs to be. I'm well aware of the chain drive order - chain ring to following arm cog to main...

Norfolk Dave, are you from Norfolk? I was raised in Norwich. Ken.

Photo Will do.

New Vendetta and OMG!!! I've just assembled the Vendetta, put it up on the trainer to finish setting up the seat arrangement and then got on it - still on the trainer - just to see how it felt laying prone with my feet up in the air and the handle bars almost sticking into my chest. I have to...

I plan to ride a full ACP series starting in January in preparation for the Sunshine 1200K in Florida and the PBP (1200K from Paris to Brest and back to Paris) and really need a Vendetta to do all of this, so if anyone has a Vendetta languishing in the garage they are not using, please sell it...

Vendetta for sale next September I have a demo model Vendetta coming my way which I plan to sell-on next September. I have a specific short term need for the bike and will sell it for about $2,400 in August/ September with the buyer paying the shipping. If there is an interest at this...

Randonnering Snilard, Since there are no brevets organised in Czech Republic, you may want to consider forming a club to organise your own brevets. Contact: jg.faburel@audax-club-parisien.com. As far as riding, I am of the 'Wheeling my bike out of the cave after making sure the T...

Ultra Distance Riding Snilard, Most of us who do long distance riding believe the best way to train for long distance riding is to ride long distances. I know this may sound axiomtic but the truth is that anyone who can ride forty or so miles can ride a hundred or two hundred miles, it...

Bents v's standards Sandy, I have ridden about 6 Tours of Colorado and out of the 2 thousand plus riders on each tour, just about every bike was a standard. I saw very few recumbents and no trikes mostly because riders tend to want to climb out of the seat whilst climbing. I don't own a...

RAAM v's Trans-AM I doubt very much you could get the same publicity from the Trans-Am as you could for riding the RAAM, but generally you make much of your own publicity whatever you ride. As for costs, the RAAM for a solo effort is around $36,000 and the riders I have contact with say...

Winter is the best time to ride Rick, For me living in South East Texas this is the beginning of the best time of the year to ride, so the only advice I can give is to move south. ;-) The weather right now is drop dead gorgeous for any outdoor activity and although it will get colder by...

John Ratz, I agree about your comments re. John, he has always been very willing to respond kindly to my direct messages to him. I like Aussies. :-) I have also been had nice conversations with Maria. I like Yanks - well I should, since I live here :-) But this comment from Kim above led...

Who makes the decision? I think we would all agree it is important for any company to constantly test and stay abreast of the market, but I am curious as to who actually owns Cruzbike and makes these decisions. I know it seems to be a small community and I thought it was Australian owned, but...

I'd be interested in the experience of recumbent riders who used to ride standard bikes. Speaking to a dealer yesterday, he was of the opinion that it takes a new recumbent rider 3 - 6 months before the muscles are retrained to ride a recumbent bike to the same speed as the standard. Is...

I have no personal experience I have no personal experience with the discs, but a few years ago on a Bessies Creek race, a racer with an HPV was blown on her side by the wind effect of large trucks, so I imagine that any kind of wind blocking device on a bike would be a problem on a road...

I did check the UMCA calendar I did check the UMCA calendar after I left the message and so I did find it was the Mid Atlantic 12/24. Well done! Ken.
