    How small a granny gear can you get on the Vendetta

    yes yes yes. given that lower gears than one to one is a need for you so presumably you would be struggling up big tough climbs (like most of us). add difficult handling to the mix and game over time to walk. best to get stronger fitter faster or work on deploying training wheels. tilt trike...

    Deep Rims

    larry no matter if it does turn out to be a "wash" it will be a very quick one. one question Larry do you think you could climb with your narrow bars?? jim P is right that control is lost when you narrow your bars and use of upper body input becomes problematic in terms of lost leverage and...

    Larry no hablar spanglish

    i do wince sometimes with the american spell check. way to many z's in place of s but you know it makes sense. i lament the dumbing down of the english language as the vocabulary range of most of our kids is now so limited they can no longer express themselves accurately. do not get me...

    Bikeism & Everesting

    woo hoo tough work. brilliant jason. :) looking forward to that. jason maybe a slightly less steep hill might help over a longer time frame. speed balance distance equation favours a flatter hill for the speedy v. balance at low speed can become tricky on pinch points. but yes ratz we...
