Oh yeah.... I had a DF hanging on my tail for about 4 km last year doing 41 kph. I was amazed. He couldn't do anything except staying in my draft. He didn't give up until the round about/circular.

I get to 110 rpm and I'm doing 42kph and start to have twinges of fear. Basically my boom is just a little too far out. If you feel that way don't push it but adjust it. :cool: The objective is to be happy doing 120 rpm

Impressive... any chance of a photo?

On my Vendetta. I have a one speed drive chain using one of those stone oval rings. It works well but I do miss the QXL Rotor chain ring. I just have been reading about the rear deurallier Shimano ultrgra Rx that has an in built clutch. It's meant for rough terrain chain chop but I suspect it...

S40 is more upright. If I had one I would try and make it into a velomobile

I second that, best to change your chains once a year otherwise cassettes and chainwheels and chains will cost more. Come to think of it, the next time I change cassettes I might go for the di2 titanium cassette. It's lighter and will be more durable. (Just started to get chainslip going up...

For a person 5'10 with a long chainstay I am noticing tiredness in my quads. Now if I were to raise the seat up an inch and put the boom out by a centimetre that could be the winning ticket. Not sure if performance is better with a larger chainstay. I will fine tune the bike for another week...

Gosh ... I have such distant memories of my triple . I used one on my cruzbike conversion bike. It's still old and dirty in a plastic bag. Good job that bag doesn't disintegrate. I couldn't believe I rode with that... it was so heavy and with a twist grip. Just wondered what the lightest triple...

:eek: Pleased to say you can tell the tale

No idea... I just put my requirements into Google and out popped this in images-> view all. I guess if you wanted fat tires like that you would have to swap out the front forks and find a solution for the rear triangle. It's on eBay...

Anyone done a build like this? I like the idea of renting bikes on beaches. People don't mind falling on sand when they learn.

Depends on the motor and how steep the gradient is. :eek::D

Hi... It will make you feel like a kid again. It's an incredible experience. So low and so fast... well that's the Vendetta. Try and borrow/rent a cruzbike for a week and get the S40 frameset. Think big. You'll get more out of it.:cool: :cruzbike::cruzbike::cruzbike:

Good question. To that I don't know. This was an airbnb place I rented. I wouldn't usually set up my bike in the kitchen. Something like that could get out of hand with the Mrs.

If I extend my arm straight my hands are extending the levers by half a palm. When first starting there was the idea of having straight arms until tendon issues (tendernitus left elbow/forearm). My hands aren't on the levers all the time. You just want a lose hold unless going up short hills...

My current settup is different to this. The bars in the last shot were the 3T aluminium base bar. The one I have on here are even more aero, faster and lighter. But in carbon. It was also a hack to install as it had to be filed down just a little. It's just one speed as I'm waiting for xshifter...

Or build something like this... it's a 3 liter bladder holder made out of carbon

For a long ride I sometimes put pressure on the pedals and lift the small of my back off my seat as though I was going over a bump. I find these elevates tensions enough for me.

The views are spectacular. Any good coffee and cake stops on the way? (Well someone had to ask) . LOL

How many watts do you save with that? I just watched a video saying if you swap out your quick release skewer for the likes of some pinhead aero skewers you can save the likes of 1 watt.
