    Cadence on a simple Cyclo Computer

    Hi, Jake's right.  I mis-read Hi, Jake's right. I mis-read your original post. Your calculation makes sense if you move the magnet/sensor to pick up the pedal, but not if you leave it on the wheel. As a simple check, start riding and stop pedalling. If it doesn't read 0, then you...

    Cadence on a simple Cyclo Computer

    (Grumble grumble no edit (Grumble grumble no edit grumble grumble).... The factor of 1/60 is right. The reason I gave is wrong. The bike computer is set to give per HOUR and we want per MINUTE and that is the factor of 60. Now back to our regularly scheduled program...

    Cruzbike Modifications

    Hi, I haven't tried a Hi, I haven't tried a two-legged kick stand, but I have had my bike fall over, so I think that's a nice upgrade. As far as the pedal extenders, I know some people really seem to like/need them and others not-so-much. Nice pictures. :) Cheers, Charles

    Bridging

    I have a little experience on I have a little experience on RWD LWB recumbents and absolutely no experience with RWD SWB bikes. One difference that I believe between Cruzbikes and RWD bikes is the handlebars. When I bridge, I am pushing hard against the handlebars to get my butt out of...

    Silvio compatible trainers

    Hi Dave, I still use Hi Dave, I still use clinchers, but I'm old and set in my ways... :) As far as I can tell, there's nothing particular about the Silvio that changes the arguments for clinchers versus tubulars. And as you pointed out, those who use them really seem to prefer them...

    Silvio compatible trainers

    Hi Dave, I've never ridden a Hi Dave, I've never ridden a Silvio, so use that to weight this answer: I generally prefer wider tires than narrower ones in case I'm riding on crushed limestone or whatever, so I do understand your desire for 28s. One thing that suggests that the 25s...
