    Any one using roller trainer?

    I used to use rollers when I first got my Silvio and then with my Vendetta. I even built a plywood deck under it so just the tops of the rollers showed through. That way if I fell or put my foot down, it was not so dangerous. It does take some practice and always a lot of concentration. I just...

    Are FLO wheels really this slow...??

    Wow 30-35 watts is a lot of power (to either gain or loose). I have a set of FLO's that I am just mounting tubeless tires on. I will have to test them out against my Boyd set, and my Rolf set and see what I can find.

    The weather looks absolutely perfect for this weekend - can't wait. Virtually no wind, no chance of rain. 10% cloud cover, 50-50% humidity, and temps starting out around 70. Ride fast enough and you won't be around for when it gets to 91 degrees. :eek::eek::eek: Ya'll come - always room for one...

    Welcome Hoolz -Nice pic - figured if you got it from "nobrakes" that maybe it had nobrakes - maybe the first "fixie" Vendetta. Hmmm - that gives me an idea! :rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:

    Cruzbike KOM/QOM challenge 10-31-17 thru 10-10-18

    Pretty funny guy - Some serious watts there, and a great video! I was worried when his heart was only beating 130 and he was pushing 500 watts. Glad to see he was over 170 even after a 5mins or so, and glad to see he was finally over 180bpm "only 400 watts near the top. Jason - you need to go...

    Best Budget Trainer for V20?

    This is a really good video comparing the top 10 trainers (wheel-on and off) - plus shows a little of Zwift if you'd like to see it. I don't think the Wahoo Core was available when this was done.

    Best Budget Trainer for V20?

    Wahoo just put out the KICKR CORE at $300 less than the regular KICKR. I think the only difference is that it does not adjust for different sized wheels. I have had a Wahoo KICKR for 4 years. Love it - and use it at least 5 days each week. Easy to mount the Venedetta on (better if you wax your...

    Mt.Baker Hill Climb. Proof of concept

    Way to go - nice ride report! .. and at least they let you show you stuff on the way down. Some of the hill climbs around here you don't get to ride down. = not fun

    Cruzbike KOM/QOM challenge 10-31-17 thru 10-10-18

    Sorry Rojo - That is why it is called a Cruzbike KOM. Instead of counting double - it counts zero since on a DF. :( Seems to me, the steeper the climbs the easier it is to get the KOM on an upright, right? I am not even that great on an upright, but put me on a 1 mile segment at 6% and I...

    Cruzbike KOM/QOM challenge 10-31-17 thru 10-10-18

    Here's a video of one of my few KOM's of the year, done just 36 hours before Alvin's Mid-Atlantic Century. Not 360 degree cool like Kyle's but the best I got for now! :) It is a 12 mile KOM with a turn around it in. I have the KOM for now, but knowing Alvin it is one that likely will not last...

    Racing @ Indy

    Great ride and story Ken. I just love riding on the motor speedways. I had my very fastest time at the Charlotte Motor Speedway last year. So much faster than a 1/2 or 1/3 mile track or velodrome in my opinion! - I am looking forward to riding the 100 miles at Indy in the Tour De Cure on Oct...

    Next fun event - Michelin Proving Ground- Fondo - Century

    I think they make those categories because in Dec, I single-handedly almost lapped a 20 person DF peloton that was chasing me on an 8 mile version of the course. Yup - that was me too - Hoping to make it a WUCA National Championship location one of these next years. - I just heard from Jefftey...
