    Vendetta frame life i.e well made tough as teak.

    I've got 3 bikes and a T50 in the box. I wonder when the T50 is going to get light of day. Perhaps build it up and give it to someone in great need. Looking at the average size of people growing, it would be a thriving long term rental business. You can rent a Tesla model 3 for $350 a day... why...

    Speed vs power

    I find it's easier to ride in the summer for me. Guess I wear more clothes in the winter too and the cold air gives me a touch of asthma.

    XShifter...new wireless shifting option

    Well if you got cables then it's about 4 watts ... the big hanging xshifter box on the boom is impossible to hide and I reckon the surface area is 3 times more than the cables. If Paul gets around implementing the dual controller then logic would tell you that would be even bigger. So round it...

    XShifter...new wireless shifting option

    I'm thinking of selling mine. It's just 1 speed drive chain. I am losing around 10 watts by using it and the faster I try to go the worst it gets. I'll have to put my hands deep in my pockets and buy the sram red etap hoods and deuralliers. Without the wires and block on the boom I'd probably...

    Reverse bars cockpit (Kinda like Oslund's, but with a twist)

    Well if you are hitting 50 kph like Larry holding the bars in the first photo you're an incredible cyclist. I wouldn't want to be too far from the brakes.

    Question for the older riders

    I'll be 58 in 3 weeks time. I'm still beating my Strava personal bests. Never really been into racing and competition. The only one time I went, was racing at Sebring . Quite a rookie but I was surprised how I responded through unknown supporters giving me a clap and cheer ... that was so...

    Heart Rate

    That's when i changed my shoes and pedals... look pedals spread the load nicely. Many here use speedplay. Let's hope you don't get foot numbness.

    Heart Rate

    With a DF you are more inclined to get off the seat and put on the power just to keep the circulation going. That seems to push my heart rate up ... especially if my highest sprocket is a 25t and I've got to get up a 10% gradient. The other thing that keeps my heart rate down on the V is the...

    AeroPod as CDA measurement

    The biggest issue for an unfared recumbent rider is the size of his feet. To reduce the resistence you would need funny shaped pedals. Any edge causes turbulence so your feet being right in the front line probably is going to be the biggest resistence of all. Larry being of small size probably...

    Chain coming off chainring

    It happened to me many times. Eventually as your chain is older it lengthens. Every ride I used to go out with my QXL rings I would have the chain come off at least twice in 40kms. Not much fun if your going down a hill on a vendetta. I recently adjusted the oval chainring and tightened the...

    AeroPod as CDA measurement

    That's why he is so darn fast. It helps having one of those cruzbike carbon bottle race case at the back too.

    Diet: Low Carb and Ultra Cycling

    There is a chocolate alternative called Algarroba. I have used it and can say it's very good. Oddly enough the farmers here in Murcia feed it to their cows. Lucky cows I say :)
