Very nice! I really need to Very nice! I really need to try and visit Rio as an adult. I lived there as a kid, age 5 through 7, with my parents when my Dad was stationed there with the USAF. We lived in an apartment building somewhere at the base of Corcovado which is where I first learned...

If you fit it in by hand with If you fit it in by hand with no tools, I seriously doubt you are flexing anything enough to be an issue. If anything, having the assembly be a bit snug may be a plus. Taking the wheel on and off on my Vendetta has gotten easier with more practice but is still...

Hi Ivan, nice write-up. That Hi Ivan, nice write-up. That is a really sharp looking Silvio. I think I saw in another post where the mounts on the BB are for a fairing to be attached. See if you can get someone to take your picture while riding so we can see how you fit and what your...

Hmmm, one of the big reasons Hmmm, one of the big reasons to use a smaller wheel on a RWD recumbent is to avoid heel strike against the front wheel when turning. The FWD MBB solves this problem because the wheel and pedal geometry turns together so to speak. A disadvantage of two sizes of...

I don't see a way to run a I don't see a way to run a wire inside the main frame tube from the rear hub forward without drilling at least one hole, probably two. If there were cable guides on each side you could use one for the rear brake and one for the lighting wire to a rear dynamo...

Tallest measurement on the 26 Tallest measurement on the 26 inch Quest is just over 45 inches high where the brake cable loops stick up above the handlebars. I imagine the Sofrider and V2/K is similar in height. -Eric

This is a good deal for those This is a good deal for those who might be interested. -Eric

Hmmm, you might want to Hmmm, you might want to consider relieving the end of the compression slot by stop drilling just past it and then extending the slot into the stop drill. The hole diameter should be a bit larger than your slot. Ideally all edges should be very smooth and nick free...

Nice build, good looking Nice build, good looking bike. You look comfortable and looks like you have a good fit. Good job! Cool Bengals too, I've always been intrigued by them. -Eric

Drew, are the bolts in the Drew, are the bolts in the seat joint installed and tight? If so, try loosening them a bit. When I had them snugged down, the seat curvature did not match the frame curvature. Leaving them loose allowed the seat top and bottom to conform to the frame shape better...

Nope, mine doesn't have a Nope, mine doesn't have a hole there. I even checked to make sure there wasn't a sticker covering it up Looks like that smooths up the slight bend I have but it doesn't appear to affect shifting so I don't think I'll drill a hole.

Very cool Tim, I like it! And Very cool Tim, I like it! And I have an idea of how I can make a modification to make it work. Tried to put it in my shopping cart but I guess they don't let you backorder out of stock items. I'll hunt around for another vendor or check back periodically with...

To echo Jim Parker, " This is the ride report from my FIRST ever 24-hour event. ", except, uh, we didn't quite end up with 24 hours to ride, only 21 hours - more about this further down. Unlike Jim, my goals and achievement were somewhat less lofty - grin. My goal was to complete at...

Front wheel transport adapter Hi Bob, Good suggestion but I already have a Seasucker Talon which works really, really well for a standard fork. I highly recommend their bike rack products. Unfortunately you can't use these and other fork drop out mounts without these issues: The...

Lavs, on my Vendetta the RD Lavs, on my Vendetta the RD hanger rests on a shoulder of the RD and does not interfere with the adjuster screw and tab: It is difficult to get a good picture but here you go. The mostly flat side of the RD hanger goes against the RD: Top view: alt="Top...

Here is a quick, down and dirty aluminum rack frame I made to hold my Bachetta Brain Box (BBB). I used this during the 2013 N24HC and it worked very well. Materials cost was roughly $15 to $20. My next plan is to figure out quick release mounts so I can quickly remove and install the rack...

Front Derailleur (FD) routing Front Derailleur (FD) routing. My Vendetta frameset came with this small length of cable housing with Jagwire ferrules on it. The length is 11 inches. View from left side: alt="FD routing left side" View from front: alt="FD routing front view"...

Vendetta FD routing I added photos to my build thread of the Vendetta 2.0 FD cable routing in case you would like to compare. My Vendetta frameset came with the FD cable guide that goes around the BB. -Eric

On a slightly different tack, On a slightly different tack, some sort of adapter to fit into the front wheel drops using the existing QR after the front wheel is pulled for travel, for example in the back of one's Chevy Equinox would be really nice. I'm going to figure out something but if...
