It has been my experience that patches work great until they fail! :rolleyes: i.e. Use them to get home and install and new tube on/or tire as needed. As fast as we go on these bikes, no one wants a blow-out at high speed and the accompanying road rash that goes with it!

There is at least one other thread on our forum dedicated to crank length - search for it and read up - so much there! Since I started riding Cruzbike about 5 years ago - I have been a major proponent of shorted cranks and have convinced many they are the way to go! My personal thoughts are that...

Instead of "back to the future", you are going "back to the past". Yes, it is great the way you can filter data from different years. It is interesting to me to compare my current power curve to years past and see where I am at compared to then. Some areas weaker, some areas stronger. Fun!

Thanks - What does baseball have to do with Cruzbike and Zwift! :rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:

Ok - so I rode the Giro d'Italia TT challenge this morning. I thought I had seen a few results in this thread, but do not see them now. My race started with over 200 people. I think I ended up around 20th. It was short, and of course that last 1Km was pretty brutal. I was not sure how I was...

I woke up at 2:15am this morning and could not go back to sleep. So I logged onto Zwift and rode in their 163Km "B" race as I knew today and tomorrow was forecast to be super rainy. It was supposed to be a steady state 3.0 W/KG, but seemed to fluctuate a lot. 127 riders started and only 18...

Try putting your cleats mide sole - that have helps many people. I just made a small adapter out of 1/8" thick aluminum for my look cleats. Works great - have never had hot foot since switching and I would get it regularly. If you are a "point your toe" pedaling you will have to move your boom...

I was hit by some huge gusts today at my local track. sustained winds where about 20-25, but on a track even those feel like gusts because at some point you have to turn and get hit by then. I almost lost control when a "huge" gust hit my right when turning. It took my breath away and caused me...

Thanks - Will Probably do the races at Northbrook velodrome in July. There is also a local "ride" but has some pretty steep the first of June. I may try and ride the course first to see how I do.

When John originally built the first "4" front ends, non of them had left or right chain stays. I did not really want them, He added them for extra strength for people like Kyle and Jason who can push 1200 watts. It looked really cooler without them. This one you are referring to is his (with...

Nope - That is John's stock seat - I have already starting doing tweaks that is making it faster. Dropped the seat a full inch straight down for 14 degree angle. Cutting out the top of the seat for one that is above my shoulders. I am working on my own custom seat to wrap my shoulders and have...

Thanks - Yeah that is Brazilian Mahogany - 1100sq. ft of it. Took me a month to build it. The wood is 3 times denser than oak, so dense it will not even absorb moisture. Pretty much lasts forever. You cannot even nail a nail into it. You must drill first. I bisket-join all the boards together.

Yes he did - it just want to quite as aero - but still a piece of art. It was a one-of-a-kind. I sold it to a "collector"

Have you ever wondered what would happen if you could breed a Cruzbike V20 FWD MBB recumbent with a Morciglio Arrowhead RWD recumbent? Well maybe you have not, but I did - partly because at the time I owned the only Arrowhead in existence, and a V20, and partly because I am just a little...

I have dimples that I can't show when I ride, or else I will be arrested. :eek::rolleyes:

I am listing these for a friend: Kevin Gamble. They are Cobb 145’s are GXP. He said: I found the Cobb crank on bikewagon for $319. I’d take $155 for them. They are basically new. Emails Kevin at: ktgambill@gmail.com - if you are interested

Since you are purchasing your new bent mainly for commuting and not all out speed, I would still choose the S40. It will be a little slower than the S30 but not significantly based on the speeds you will probably be going. Once you get the real speed bug and want to race and go really fast, then...

Great write up Tor - I will have to say it was fun reading your account - and I will have to say, your English is extraordinary! Much better than mine unfortunately! :rolleyes: If you ever get over to the US, look me us and we can go riding on the Blue Ridge Parkway. :)

I'd buy all three - run tests for a couple years at every power level for all possible riding situations - then settle on the V20! (That is because after all the testing scenarios you will be super buff, and expert MBB rider and will just want to go as fast as possible. But that is just me...

Use Molten speed wax. You chain never gets dirty and lasts about 3 times longer. Love it and will never use anything different.
