Yes - good plan - I'm in - I would love to get a team like Jason, Jim, Kevin, and me. We are not really limited by a team size either - maybe we can coaz Ratz down there too! With a team like that we should be able to do sub 3:45

No, I have not done any test with my little tailbox. It is pretty hard to take off and put on, so have not pursued it. I will see if I can get an extra headrest from Cruzbike and then I can do some decent testing. I will say upfront, as I don't expect much if any different comparable to putting...

Quite impressive Jim. This is so very close to my results and speeds with my testing at my local track earlier this year: I took the speed and wattage data from several different runs and ran them through Chung's model, after processing the .fit file into the CVS file needed for Chung method...

I can ride my V with little tiny handlebars, but only after learning to ride it with wider bars for a long time. I'll bet if he put some regular bars on it for awhile and learned to ride it that way, he might have a better experience. Then when he gets the hang of it, learn to ride with the...

Where have we seen Strasser's data - did I miss it? Would love the link to his Strava or Garmin file. I heard he average 250 watts on his last 24 hour ride - but have not seen this ride's data. For Marko: 216 watts average for 24 hours is amazing, but even more amazing is the NP of 258! This...

The biggest advantage I see in the rollers is the acute balance you develop. It is quite amazing actually. I can remember it was extremely hard to learn to ride them at first (Just like my Cruzbike), but eventually I could it with no hands on my DF - Still working on that on my Vendetta.

Without the base: It is very hard to set your feet down and keep the bike upright, especially if you have to do it quickly while riding.

Yes - (b) is you only option on Kritler rollers, you have to put the drive wheel between the double set of rollers. To help make is easy to start and not dangerous to ride if you fall or stop, I build a "base" out of plywood that covered the entire set of rollers. The tops of the rollers barely...

For me - I could actually climb faster on my Silvio than on my Vendetta because I could make more power with the wider hip angle. But you can't beat the Vendetta on flats, gentle rollers and of course downhills.

Where was this thing from. Was this an official Cruzbike video/commercial? Pretty what-what amazing!

Yeah great video - only thing that would have made it better would be to have all the data overlays! Would be awesome to see the power/hr/speed etc data of the rider!

Sweet Abbott!

Kind of makes you wonder if you can adopt a little of this "hand" power to a recumbent. Your aero would go down with your arms and hands probably more in the airflow, but if he can generate that kind or power and speed on arms alone, even if you could increase your overall wattage by 20% that...

I even looked into Luge helmets at one point. I have just been put off by the weight of either one - and of course the heat issue during about 8-9 months of the year. Still - since I love to test stuff so much, I'll have to add it to the list!

Yes - I agree - I know my head can be lower and at a better aero angle, but then as you noted the farther back we lay our heads, the more the wind can come up the visor from our chest. I'm thinking of trying to fabricate another visor that would practically lay right on my chest when in the...

At the urging of my good friend Hardy, I experimented with riding my V with and without my Ventist seat pad. He thought it might be a little bit faster. Speed isn't everything (did I just say that? - haha ), but in the intensest of testing every facet of riding I thought I would give it a try...

Wow - one of the most amazing records I see is that Hand Cyclist that did 364.8 miles last year! Arm strength only! Incredible!

Heck - I don't even need another person to have a bike race - just 2 power meters! :p (Hub based, and pedal based in my case!)

That is correct - now go and have some fun!

Great point Jason, and another really good reason not to have a RWD recumbent that requires 3 regular chains just for one setup!
