    So what did you do? Limp home slowly on a low front that self-sealed after the pinch? The gauge is neat however I can only look at it when you are going uphill - the downhills take too much concentration to constantly set aside the worry and watching for anything I can learn.

    Vendetta Low Racer

    Would asking you how many human powered bi/tri-kes you have be akin to asking a woman who has had more than one 29th birthday what their age is? And equally dangerous?

    Cruzbike Time Trial Challenge 2020

    I definitely am inspired to ride harder with less perceived effort or at higher power during the TTT than any training or solo riding. My experience is that riding, especially climbing outside is rarely consistent in speed, slope, surface, wind, etc. compared with a flat open area let alone a...

    Tires for S40

    A very good plan if my single data point comparison holds any validity. I have a QX100 with 1.5" x 559 tires and rear shock and I have a conversion kit seen in my avatar with 1.75" x 559 tires and no shock (very rigid rear "seat stay" supporting the seat back) which would be more rigid...

    Fenders for QX100?

    No, those are for 700c road wheels and would probably work fine for 650b if they are wide enough to cover the tire but the Q and T models use 559 (26”) mountain bike wheel size so you would have a huge gap between tire and fender. But id they are successful with these maybe they have or will...

    Cruzbike Time Trial Challenge 2020

    I'll Ride On in front, behind, draft the whole way if necessary if only I can get to the end at the same time some days. 62kg makes for higher W/kg numbers but sheer W? We light-weights would rather climb if we have to compete with those with more muscle mass.

    Q45 wierd noise

    Wow! That must be majorly annoying if it starts at 20km and increases and you made it to 100km. Captain Obvious says that is 80km of sound torture! I would have checked the things you checked first also. It sounds like a metal-moving-in-tension kind of sound. Here are some other places you...

    Learn how to Read your Body

    @RojoRacing Have you written on a different post, have a good resource to read, or are you willing to explain and describe how to read your body? You have a knack for analyzing what happens and why in a way that is concise and communicative and can be applied to everyone (not just those who...
