Ouch! I need to go into the Ouch! I need to go into the ridiculously over priced water bottle business... Looks nice thought. -Eric

Outstanding! Great job, Outstanding! Great job, Chuck.

Heh, try a full century with Heh, try a full century with 25-30mph winds... Sebring has been windy the last two years I was there. Sounds like Calvin's Challenge was windy today too. -Eric

Check out Charles Check out Charles Plager's layback seatpost on his Cruzigami in his blog here. Charles has some good photos of how much more his Cruzigami conversion seatback is able to be reclined with the layback seatpost he bought. You may find the softer foam ends up being...

No but the tone does change a No but the tone does change a bit as the wind clocks around. It really is a nice melodic sound. Surprised the hell out of me the first time it happened. -Eric

Not only that but the pivot Not only that but the pivot cage on the Vendetta slider is also a musical cross wind detector -Eric

I grant you this looks cool I grant you this looks cool but that Transform and Lock system looks huge and reminds me of a railroad car coupler - no offense intended. I also wonder about how it will behave under load and traversing rough surfaces. Additionally some of those renderings of the...

I like the look of your I like the look of your Silvio with bullhorns, particularly with the length and position of the boom and BB. Somehow it looks kind of elegantly menacing. I recommend a mirror on both sides of the bars though. Having both works wonders for tracking stuff through...

NuVinci upgrade NuVinci upgrade opportunity? Did yours arrive bent or missing Jose? I know you bought your Quest from a third party but you might give Maria a call to see if she has any spares or other sources that may be able to help you out. -Eric

Doug and Jim bolted Maria's Doug and Jim bolted Maria's seat down like your last picture but not via the double set of scissor jack clamps but through the webbing between the frame holes. The end cap with the holes for the headrest frame and the pre-positioned scissor jack clamps are a...

Glad you found it helpful Glad you found it helpful Geoff, looking forward to seeing some photos. New Zealand is one of the places in the world I really want to visit and go riding someday. -Eric

Well fudge, I thought you Well fudge, I thought you were maybe a telekenetic and I could call you to recover my car keys when I dropped them between the seat and the transmission tunnel. -Eric

I'm with Kim. Don't over I'm with Kim. Don't over think it. -Eric

I remember looking at their I remember looking at their Kickstarter campaign. Looks like they ended up getting 148% funded as of May 2013 with their website stating a July 2014 delivery for pre-orders. I contemplated this but had a few reservations. Note the position of the rider's heel in...

You could probably do a rough You could probably do a rough mock-up of the cylinder shape and size and see if it would work. The Silvio 1.5 is more upright than the bike in the photos so if you want them to sit behind your back you would likely have to figure out how to hold them in place - and...

Oddly the 170mm cranks on the Oddly the 170mm cranks on the V feels better to me than the 155mm cranks on the Quest. I was going to go with 165mm or maybe shorter on the V but they weren't as readily available so I thought I'd give the 170s a try and go shorter later if necessary. So far lots...

The donut had not moved on my The donut had not moved on my Vendetta when I very carefully pulled the cabling out during my re-build. I was looking for it as I was curious. I tried to get a photo of it when I first built my V but the bare cable run using the cable stops seems to just...

On the Quest with front On the Quest with front suspension, I would look at what is going on at the suspension area when you are yanking hard back and forth on your handlebars. The Quest front suspension always felt a little squishy to me. Not "bad" squishy, mind you just with a lot more...

I tried full housing all the I tried full housing all the way through the frame on my rebuild but didn't like it and went back to using 2 pieces of housing and the cable stops in the frame ports. I pushed two small rubber cable donuts onto the bare cable and spaced inside the frame on the wire...

SRAM X9 Type 2 medium cage, SRAM X9 Type 2 medium cage, XG-1080 11-36 cassette, 53x39 crankset with 170mm cranks is what I'm running. I'm comfortable using the 53T almost exclusively and still find myself spinning out sometimes at high speed. About the only time I ever use my 39T is when...
