    MAF Training 2023

    Day 73 Weight is 193, down 29 lbs The target is still 175, currently on another plateau, probably my I'm doing an update because it motivates me. The periodic 18-hour fasting worked and moved me down another 5 lbs. Now I'm probably plateaued for work stress and spending far too many hours...

    Day 2 - Better to be seen than to be run into We are taking a page from the RAAM Relay bag of tricks to wrap up the wheel build. I don't recall who cooked this up when we were working late to make the bike reflective; I think it was Carly or Lucia. In any case, it's supper efficient and low...

    Day 2 continued .... the rubber meets the roa...... err floor? Okay, it's time to get some shoes on these wheels. We are going to be running Continental GP 5000 SLR wheels. The front tire will be 30-622 and the rear 32-622. My unnecessary assumption was that the 30 would mount aero on the new...

    No hands

    Core strength is the key, and a good sense of what the feet can do. Steering input is mostly done with the feet and shoulders. Any of the more upright bikes with 40-degree or more upright seats are pretty straightforward. I've seen Jim do figure 8's in the parking lot with an upright, and there...

    QX100 with 26/20 inch tilting to one side or the other

    Explain a bit more; I'm not sure anyone is going to understand you referenced "flop over" without a long description of the problem you are trying to solve? For the Most part the Q Series frame can handle and wheels from 20" up to 650b; there are plenty of examples of 22" and 650B from over the...

    Dbl chainring

    What you'll find in the mountain drive if you build it; is the losses are huge in the hill gearing; to the point that the lowest 33% will feel really "spongy" which is why it never really caught on outside the trike community. I had the HS Drive and the Mountain drive on a Catrike 700 for quite...

    Seeking advice for new V20c rider

    It will not you Your hard limiters are: 1. Chain Length: You'll need a longer chain 2. Rear Derailuer You need a "mid" or "long" cage to go 11-32t and bigger 3. The cassette itself. That's the minimum change.

    Q45 discomfort?

    yeah bring it backward and make it more upright. it is designed for a 45-50 degree recline. A strada isnt going to have given you the same arm and shoulder muscles. water skiing and rowing are the comparables

    Q45 discomfort?

    A couple of questions: 1) Is the bottom seat plate mounted all the way back? 2) Are you on the stock pad or ventisit? My initial thought is that the seat is too reclined until you have ridden and built the muscles, and the entire boom is too far back. But that model Q45 has a boom I've not...

    Q45 discomfort?

    Can you get someone to take a picture of you from the side and behind when on the bike. That would help the community understand if it's adaptation or fit. Then, people can better share what they've learned that aligns with your challenge. I'll boost your post count so you can upload the pictures.

    Day 1 - Praying and Peeling. Because we are not Plastidipping the entire frame (That would be criminal on this paint job) we are going to have a devil of a time peeling the tape off and not taking the PlastiDip right off or making a ragged edge. This is where my indecisive taping got me in...
