I am sorry that you are having these neck/pain issues. It might be that you are just too powerful for your position! :eek: I know you have probably tried lots of different things to alleviate the pain?Have you tried putting a lumbar section low in the seat like I have? I think this helps hold my...

IMHO - If carefully designed with an adjustable BB & Seat a single frame size could still do it !

Yeah - not even the color! :)

Yeah but just think how "in shape" you will be by the time you get there! Well - if you ride there anyway! :rolleyes:

As stated above, they are significantly slower. I did not notice they were "slick" or worried about going down - but of course you are going slower - so if you did it would not scrape off much skin. :eek: They also had different types of tires for different applications - maybe different rubber...

I did "OK", but not super pleased. :( But it might have been the 20 laps or so of testing I did at various wattages before the actual TT that affected me somewhat. :rolleyes: I placed second overall at 20:20, but well short of my 18:52 last year. Really odd how it was so much slower for just...

Thing is - no Crit race director will ever let a recumbent race with uprights - for obvious reason! haha

Charles, I did extensive testing on my S30 against my first Vendetta back about 3 1/3 years ago. Yes, I am a testing nutcase? :D:eek: I could make 361 watts for 5 minutes on the S30, but the speed was only 25.4mph Same test, same fitness, same power meter, same track with Vendetta - The absolute...

I have forgotten that I had tested an S-works upright bike (full drops, but no TT bars) against a Vendetta and an M1 on the local "velodrome". Not a "true velodrome, with high banked corners, but a nice fast 1/3 mile oval with about 6 degrees of banking. This was 2 1/2 years ago - Nov, 2015...

We are all different sizes and for me, putting my boom level increased my drag. I was really surprised. I did a bunch of coast down testing with different chain-stays and picked what worked best foe me. No secrets here! haha. It definitely might help "lock" me in better, especially on a flatter...

Glad you are getting it dialed in! I knew you would. :) By the way - I installed the longer chainstay on my V20 (My boom was dead flat) and I ended up slower. My feet were just too high for my shoulders and created more drag. Each person has to fine tune the bike to exactly what is best for...

That is great news! You have to get Kyle involved, as we know how much he loves TT's.\\ When are these happening Jesse? I have a local TT that I do. They of course have points and everything, but I am in my own class - and the "real" winners are declared through the upright class. But at least...

The more time you put in on the bike the more relaxed your grip will get, especially if you are just cruising. I have found that eventually the leg muscles will adapt and be able to pretty much steer the bike on their own. Things that help this for me where: practice spinning really fast >100 -...

I was originally going to go, but am attending the Raven Rock Ramble on the same weekend near Raleigh, NC. I think Jim, Maria, Doug & Nancy Klein will all be there on their Cruzbikes, maybe some others too. A nice leisurely Century ride!

Maybe some of us are past the "comic reading" stage of live.. :p:p:p:p:p .. and maybe some of us that aren't.. should be .. just saying ..:eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek:

Way to go Ken: I am probably out of the "race". I train M-F indoors and ride on my local track on Saturday. The only time I get to "do" other outdoor rides is when I go on vacation somewhere!

Yes - hate rules to a certain degree - You make them because you need some guidelines, but them someone always bends them to their will. I certainly would not do what you suggested Jason, and I have confidence that everyone else in the Tribe has the same level of maturity. To me a segment should...

I did not know, but read up on it a little bit. It really looks like recumbent riding "almost" uses Alexander Technique because you hips are pretty fixed from going forward and back with the pedals like they do on an upright. The other part of the AT is appling power with the heals, or nearer...

MY BB is 27.5" from the ground, so yours is way higher than mine. Mine is set ideal for my shoulder height. Also with the M5 there is no adjustment in the BB height, the only thing you can do is build the seat up if the seat to get a more ideal seat to BB height differential if needed. There are...

What a fun read - a blast from the past. Haha My first Century on a my first Cruzbike. A Silvio. Those were the "good ole days". haha. Total time of 5:25. We were on vacation on Hilton Head Island, SC. 5 days later I did 100 miles in just under 4:46 on a different route where I did not have to...
