With a CDA of 0.226 (stop the vid at 0.45) I don't think this bike will, although the rider might.:p Glad to see common sense has prevailed regarding the results and that we have moved on and up from Egg and Faure...

I thought hot foot was caused by shoes that are too tight fitting? The best remedy I've experienced is sitting down, taking your shoes off and giving your feet a good massage, it will hurt but put your shoes back on slackening off how tight they are and away you go.

I'll be excited to see this seat get some good use. Glad your seat mod is coming along @snilard

I think this about sums it up. History in the making though if you ask me, give it some time and the name Perez will slowly work it's way up the echelon of recumbent cycling the same as Faure did all those years ago. And in the future if any DF rider asks me about riding any hills on a...

In this case, I'd recommend doing what Larry done and go down to an Oval Track and do some power testing, experiment with some more aero setups on the bike and look at what power gives what.

http://www.kreuzotter.de/english/espeed.htm The above will give a fairly basic idea of what watts gives what speed, and in answer to your question, maybe, Larry's record century had a NP of less than 200w - and this was a sub 4 hr century. Off the top of my head you'd need your drag...

Hold fast that man and everyone else!! Amanda Coker is currently smashing it, and I do mean smashing it down in Florida routinely doing 400k+ days, she is up on Searvogels record by 2376 miles and is supported by her Mum and Dad - her story is an amazing one having recovered from an assortment...

Nice going, 100 miles in six and a half hours is good going if this is your first ton. And don't be too dismissive of what people are saying about PBP, double ton, etc. At one point we all had zero miles on the clock, keep at it.:)

Sterling effort yet again - well done. EDIT: Regarding your strava feed, he's certainly thrown his toys out of his pram!:D

If this is being fitted to the V20 as a rear brake then will it fit? The 140 rear rotor I have only just fits - and this was after filing off 1mm of the weld on the rear dropouts.

Put the bike on a direct drive trainer, rides well and feels good. The road to LEL begins now.

Vite bike jerseys are a nice fit and the zipped front pockets means you can store a lot of kit without it falling out. IIRC on PBP, I had my phone, some shot blocks, cleat covers, Ibuprofen and my set of keys in the pockets. The old style Cruzbike jerseys are nice but I find the cut a bit loose.

I heard the author had a heart attack and is/was a habitual user of steroids? Anyways, back to the RAAM attempt. I wish the team all the best and hope that they not only crack the record for the age group that they are riding in, but also the overall 4 person record. That would be really cool.

I've got Speedplay pedals and cannot fault them, clipping in and out is not a problem. I need to try the Eggbeaters though at some point. Used with a MTB shoe it would be nice to walk normally rather then tentatively as you do with a road shoe. EDIT: If you do get some Speedplay pedals...

I was wondering when this was going to happen, all the best from this side of the pond.

http://www.bentrideronline.com/messageboard/showthread.php?t=129423 Jeese's report over on BROL, seems like Larry and Jim were marked from the off.:rolleyes::cool:

I'm not even sure that your body position would matter as the centre of gravity is pretty low to ground anyways? FWIW with the exception of sitting up when approaching a junction to look for traffic I don't adjust my body position. Just go with the flow and let the bike do the work.

PM sent

I had a look at that Midge bar and saw no difference between that bar and the stock bar that comes with the V20?o_O

Presuming you are based where they drive on the right had side of the road rather than the left. Place yourself as far over the left of the road as you can leading up to the turn, you don't want to apply any brake or power when going through the turn so make sure you are at the speed that you...
