Riding in the cold with my balaclava... I rode the 22.5 mile route again yesterday (Dec 5) in colder weather with my balaclava on under my helmet with the helmet strapped under my chin snuggly over the neck of the balaclava. I also had on a cold weather underarmour base, long lycra bottoms...

Charles, My son (the camera Charles, My son (the camera man) laughed at your comment :-) Here are my next two rides (17.91 mph and 16.17 mph average speed a big improvement over my Diamondback!). Check out the new Cyclemeter online display using the links below. This is a new...

+1 for Cyclemeter Here is my +1 for Cyclemeter Here is my first long ride on a Quest on Dec 1. My speed and cadence sensor wasn't picking up. I think this was because the magnet got pushed down the the pedal crank arm and I didn't check that it was working until after the ride...

In your third photo above, I In your third photo above, I would be tempted to put some sort of rubber pad between the fender tab and fender edge and the chainstay to prevent the tab and fender from abrading the chainstay arms. It might also help the tie-wrap hold everything in place better...

Great job Charles! Is that Great job Charles! Is that for around 9 months of riding or do you manage to get a lot of winter riding in? -Eric

Hmmm, I do wish you success Hmmm, I do wish you success but even with strengthening that horizontal tube under the bottom seat pan with your laminating technique it looks like the longer lever arm of the seat back is likely to cause failure at the horizontal seat pan base and main down tube...

How are you supporting the How are you supporting the seat back? -Eric

I was chatting with Jim and John about possible delivery dates for my VHF (Vendetta HydroForm) with the thought of training to ride in the Feb 16, 2013 Bike Sebring 12 hour race. My most optimistic guesstimate of delivery timing would result in something less than 8 weeks to train. John...

I Dan, I have a Wahoo Blue HR I Dan, I have a Wahoo Blue HR that I use with my iPhone 5 running Cylemeter and I upload to RideWithGPS.com to view my metrics, including HR zone info. My resting HR is 48bpm and my max is about 189bpm. http://ridewithgps.com/users/122247 At the...

Front brake to right brifter, right? Thanks John, And connect the front brake to the right brifter, right? ;-) -Eric

SRAM SlickWire Road Brake XL Cable Kit Will the SRAM SlickWire Road Brake XL Cable Kit fit the new V? From what I can glean from the web this is a 5mm kit with 1350mm and 2750mm cables with a 1.6 diameter. Are those good cable lengths for the Vendetta (with Avid BB7 SL Road disk calipers)...

Yes, my eyes pretty much Yes, my eyes pretty much glazed over with the math but some of the rest of it was making a bit of sense and intrigued me. Especially since I live in the Detroit area where hydroforming has been making inroads over the past decade or so. I've wanted to be able to watch...

Yes, materials science can be Yes, materials science can be really tedious but since this study was designed to improve failure prediction in hydroforming aluminum tubes perhaps there is an "aha!" moment buried in there somewhere for John or someone on his team. You might ask your dentist...

Issues related to bursting, Issues related to bursting, wrinkling, or buckling? Here is an interesting paper about formability and hydroforming of anisotropic aluminum tubes: http://repositories.lib.utexas.edu/handle/2152/6557 -Eric

My first 2 hours on rollers My first 2 hours on rollers to start training for events in 2013 and to participate in the UMCA Indoor Challenge. At the moment I'm tied for 6th place with 9 total participants - sarcasm alert - woot! Interestingly my cadence on my prior outdoor ride averaged...

I understand day turned into night down under yesterday. Is this John's way of announcing he has finally released the newest version of the Vendetta? Or was this just an unrelated random event of the cosmos? :-) -Eric

Switchable Dynohubs Mick, Considering the desire to also charge electronic devices during daylight riding do you see any value in having a switchable dyno? E.g. How long did you spend charging your iPhone and GoPro each day? Were you able to use the eWerk during your night riding while...
