    Fighting residual wobblies

    V 20 rider caveat. Using the boom of the bike involving the upper body for additional power generation is an advantage of the platform. So yes wobble can and does naturally occur . Especially powering on. If you get out of sync in the learning process the wobble can cause consternation with...

    Dynamic-boom vs. Fixed-boom Recumbent Bicycle Power Production

    Larry I reckon you see higher numbers on the trainer because you spend so much time there and when you are on the road those mini hamster bars offer minimal leverage. Of course it matters not mate with your performances being so impressive. But I do wonder how your performance would change...

    Dynamic-boom vs. Fixed-boom Recumbent Bicycle Power Production

    Categorically agree anecdotally with Jim. Lol Upper body input whilst present on the kickr is not free and unleashed like on road. Heck I think the bike would sustain damage possibly if I bridged on the trainer too many times. I make power easier on road with cruzbike technique at higher...

    Should you balance your road bike wheels?

    I once used stans sealant on my mtbs. Picked out many giant boogers as above. Eventually went back to tubes to avoid mess despite all advantages. Crazy but I always carried a tube just in case.
