    Looking at the long range weather forecast the temperature is going to be in the higher twenties for London and 7 degrees for Scotland. LOL

    LEL 2017

    How is it all looking chaps? I took a fall a few weeks back and not on form. Just rented the documentary and seen all the wonderful challenges. It's certainly up there for lifetime experiences.

    T50 - whatcha planning to build.....

    If you want one of those bad enough it will materialize in front of you. I think the T50 is great to tinker with and learn on. Once smitten.... then you pay the big bucks for the adrenalin rush. I remember how excited I was about my cruzbike conversion bike. The local bike shop guy said "It's...

    The more you know the safer you'll be on the road

    I was out driving the car the other day and a car like that stopped a bit late and then carried on right into the path of me. All I can say is bring on driverless cars. I recently had a trip to the UK and in one of their cities was a 20mph speed limit. Epic One of the velomobiles that I see...

    The 'V' has arrived!

    I have an old Wahoo Elemnt the new bolt is a bit more aero but I have elected to keep the old. I have to read it 90degrees but I am ok with that. I am only really interested in the flashing LEDs and the Strava live segments. I have a curved slider attached to the boom with an aero base bar and...

    Neophyte in need of Vendetta V20 setup help...

    I still only have 1x speed on my Sram Rival 22 cranks. I have a 53t QXL ring and a 22t cog that I load up when starting. I am only on flat terrain and I wobble when starting. My left hip flexor is weakened because of the loading and I hate red lights. So why do I bother? I love the front wheel...

    T50 - whatcha planning to build.....

    That looks low ... what's the angle... to me that looks worthy of a head rest. Might just be the clever angle of photography ;)

    T50 - whatcha planning to build.....

    Word of caution. When I first started with cruzbike style of mbb make sure your right shoe lace is tied up and not loose. Mine caught up in the chain and if you are unsure about yourself you will probably take a fall.

    Team Cruzbike RAAM 2017

    That's the funny thing. Some persons torture is pleasure. They just got their receptors aligned differently. But you know... things can change. Try getting up a few days of the week and do 100 miles on the trainer before going to work and you too can have your receptors aligned differently. ;)

    Little tweaks

    Ok... slam the stem and then you can feed the cables thru the hole through the O ring fork adjuster. Commonly called burning the bridge. I have been on it today. It feels springy in comparison and more aero. I moved the aerobars out by a cm. But to be honest if I had a six pack it would...

    Team Cruzbike RAAM 2017

    Chase chase chase is the operative word. If I ever put a fairing on a cruzbike, I would have one with cross hairs. And every time I hit a target , I would say "Got Him!" "Run rabbit, run rabbit, fast as you can can can"

    Little tweaks

    A word of caution. I didn't quite slam the fork stem. Just in case I want to go back to the old boom. I left one spacer distance on it. I quite like looking over the top of the boom but I can't do that with the new as the new Chain stays they are shorter so the bike is more stable. As the Chain...

    Little tweaks

    Well it's taken a lot longer than anticipated. Other commitments. So what's been happening? The taster photo... What ! Is this a new bike? Hell no it's the old one revamped

    Team Cruzbike RAAM 2017

    I just watched christoph's YouTube videos. His support team carries him out of the van and sticks him on the bike. The weather is seriously crap. I am totally amazed what these riders have to go through!!!

    Team Cruzbike RAAM 2017

    I kid you not. The other teams know that there is a strong recumbent team in contention. They hit those mountains earlier on hard to gain a tactical advantage. Believe you me they will be suffering. What with the heat, I expect them to slow up a little. If Team cruzbike can keep the pace they...

    I think even Jason had trouble catching his wheel. That guy is insanely fast. True European... it's the alps you know!

    I was just reading that it's too hot for planes to operate in Phoenix. But it's not too hot for Team Cruzbike! Go Go Go

    Once those mountains have gone, the cruzbikes will come into their own
