    Flat Pedals

    Here is a link of several choices: https://www.amazon.com/bike-pedals/b?ie=UTF8&node=3404891 . For me there are several factors I consider: I don't race, I commute by bicycle so want flexibility and simplicity (don't want to carry 2 sets of shoes!), my bikes (Q559 and QX100) both are...

    Initial use of bike app

    Yesterday I went on a ride to stay with my folks in Fountain Hills for a few days, and chose a 20 mile section to become more familiar with the Zeopoxa Bicycling app. My initial use of the app was 15 minutes of figure-8s several days before: . Having familiarized myself with starting and...

    3-D Printed Bicycle

    I'm waiting for NASA to perfect the tech, and for the price to come down. :rolleyes: Or maybe I will win the lottery! ;) The shapeways site does look as though they do custom work (this interests me) using your design or doing the design, and in many different materials (not just plastics)...

    Rack solution for the Silvio 2.1

    Found it at this link below, watch the video for the pics of rack and how it is attached. Shortening the upper attachments to level the rack which would also bring the center of gravity a little more forward. I love the disc brakes on both wheels! ...

    Diet: Low Carb and Ultra Cycling

    That reminds me when in my much younger days I biked with a group who would each, myself included, daily buy a dozen day old donuts from the local donut shop at a much reduced cost, and have them eaten before asking Mom "what is for dinner" I'm hungry!

    Diet: Low Carb and Ultra Cycling

    Currently there are way to many variables that would have to be controlled in nutrition research to IMHO to definitively answer these questions. So what are we to do? Become informed yourself studying all sides of thinking, be wary of what one says if they are selling something, eat a large...

    Diet: Low Carb and Ultra Cycling

    I agree, it is frustrating, to think that it should be one way or another, but what is working for me may not work for you. There are many reasons for this; we all have different genetics, have different environmental influences on what actuates our genes, different physical activity levels (do...

    QX100 early review

    MrSteve said: "It's easy to blame quality control.... ......But I bet that the spokes break in and loosen up things in their first riding season." I can blame myself for recent spoke mischief. Wanted to fix a minor wobble in the drive wheel, and bought a spoke tension meter. Read the manual...

    QX 100 rear shock upgrade

    I thought about replacing the shock with a metal bar of some sort, but also thought any big bump may stress the frame where it swivels. My thought was that I would then need to be sure to use reduced tire pressure to do the shock absorption. But I did the steering mod first and then did not feel...
