The question came up on the other thread; What am I doing in particular with MAF and my return from the brink of Self-inflicted Diabetes or whatever the heck made my Dr. Scare the crap out of me. So here's the MAF training thread for 2023 This thread will be a journal for people to use as they...

I'll start a thread on this, as I think it might get interesting. https://forum.cruzbike.com/threads/maf-training-2023.15212/ Meanwhile not sure I can do the climbing challenge I'm researching whether it will mess up my mission. Money is also tight so not sure zwift is something I want to...

Indeed that might be the direction I start heading. Brifters was about shifting leverage and thats no longer an issue.

Ah the power of venting feels better Now. I hear you all on the mechanical points for most of the garage i Agree. My major points of frustration is there is a 3 year old carbon triangle frame in the garage Rim brake and unlike the Cruzbike it’s not disc/rim combo. And electric for it puts 5...

It occurs to me that multiple upper booms with different curvatures would be more practical I have the straight one on currently on the legacy v20. The difference between that and the curved one is a lot as I know the aero belly does not currently allow for the curved one. Ship the bike with...

Well I got a quick lesson this week about what @Robert Holler has been dealing with on the parts front Since Covid 1. 11-speed is dead from a competent standpoint if you want SRAM wireless electronic shifting, get a new bike and new wheels 2. If you want spare parts to repair damage from the...

Hi Rick, That’s an ADEM 2 HeadRest. Unfortunately Don doesn’t appear to make them anymore as ADEMHR.com is gone. It’s modified with a custom Ventist Pad. It’s not overly fancy, a bracket, a bent piece of mental and a plate. I don’t recall if that’s documented in the old V20 docs. I’ll add...

I killed both accounts. Now that I'm digging out of my life backlog, we'll get that back under control like it was 5 years ago. This place has stay amazing all these years; it didn't get that way on accident. Time for some daily TLC.

Is that boom cut and re-welded for angle? Meanwhile Silvio 2.0 hit the road for the first time in something like 7 years. Happy to report is runs as good as it did seven years ago

One bike from each generation of my journey no excuses now

If you can get down to the Austin Area, I have a vintage Q45 that can be used for teaching people how to right and it's still probably the best bike to learn on.

Oh yeah, we beat that topic to death. Orientation lets you decide if you want to carry the freight with your muscles or your heart and lungs. We pretty much covered both topics. Hopefully, all the photos survived the various forum upgrades which is not always the case. Prime discussions should...

February 3rd. My mother resumes communication with the Family and months of rehab begin and the diary ended. We moved them into their new home in George Town TX this past July until then they lived in our home. On move day Dad could stand for ten minutes at a time but was happy to micro...

January 17th Rough night. Another patient on the floor was having a rough time with uncontrolled regular shouting at the top of his lungs. The entire floor is frazzled. Pete could not sleep, and his vitals all took a hit and went in the wrong direction. The balloon pump was be removed today...

December 31st - January 6th. Each day has been following the same routine: less than 200 steps a day, three meals, a couple of naps each day, and the battle against the one powerful heart medication that wipes out his energy levels each day. Numerous packages have arrived from Bullhead City to...

Meanwhile for those that know me virtually or in the real world, If you have found that you like me and my quirky handling of life please know that I owe that to my mother and father. Their entire wealth in this world is in positive Karmic debt that the universe owed them for years of putting...
