    Q ring upgrade - Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh......

    Not sure what you are referring to Jason (with the 2 and 3 set hole spacing), but I have seen a couple "different" versions of the Q-rings. I think it is just what is cut out. As long as it is "true" 110BCD, then you are going to be OK. There will still be a lot of "extra" holes for the correct...

    Chain WAXing (yes it's that easy) - and other mysteries of this art!

    Wow - That's some stock in Q-rings there! I just finished my 2 hour Wed workout on the KICKR and am at work now. Will go home today and take off my cranks, Q-rings and Vector pedals to pack with my other essentials like shoes, shorts, jersey's, etc. Maybe if I take this Jersey to ride Ratz's...

    Practice on you trainer Jason - that way you won't fall - then just do the same on the open road (works me for!):eek: I know you play the video games while on the trainer - maybe you just need to take a controller with you when you ride outdoors and you won't need to touch the handlebars much. ;):D

    Way to go Doug - I'll be there, but will be defending my Century Title, so no 12 or 24 for me. I know you will do great and look forward to seeing you again. As far as a death grip goes with you hands. What has helped me was to just keep ever so slightly less and less "grip" on the bars. Try...

    Testing week in Asheville, NC June 25 - July 1

    Just for fun, I stuck the Arrowhead's 650 wheel on the back of the Vendetta, so lighter and a little lower seat angle. My speed actually dropped by about 1/2 mph.

    Morciglio Arrowhead testing results This Morciglio Arrowhead is a custom made CF-RWD recumbent made by John Morciglio. This was his personal bike and I purchased it directly from him. To the best of my knowledge, he has not made another one of these yet, so another one-of-a-kind for now...

    I think I have the seat "tilted" back to the lowest position with the existing holes. I'll have another look at it, and since I need to swap out the cranks, hopefully I can make the seat a little more reclined.

    I think this is because you can "pull down and then back" with your extended foot quicker and with much more power when your toes are pointed up than with your toes pointed. The caveat is also that you must have the correct crank length to make sure your legs are not over-extended during the...

    I'm not taking my bike with me: Robert said he has this he could loan me (must be an experimental version! ) haha Seriously there doesn't need to be any leveling of the playing field. Ratz and Lief can both probably wipe me off the road!

    Website suggestions for educating self re: Rotor Q rings

    David, why do you try and keep your HR below 136bpm? I can hardly go up any hill of any length with any decent speed and keep my pulse under 136! Specific aerobic training regime, or condition that limits you in some way?

    Sore back V20

    Yes, but will they "come out of their closet"? - that is the question?? :eek::D:p Any why are they in the closet? Where they bad? Did their wife's send them there because they spent too much time and money on their bikes? - Or - maybe it's a bike shop/workroom type of closet - who knows! ;)

    Website suggestions for educating self re: Rotor Q rings

    I'm definitely no expert in this area, but from what I have seen, heard and ridden myself, it is my impression that the triple setup would only be needed for a super heavy laden bike that is going to be expected to climb extremely long and arduous climbs. I envision someone doing a cross-country...

    Sore back V20

    Best idea if you can do it. Where do you live? If you are lucky enough to live within reasonable driving distance of Lumberton, NC - you can ask for a personal meeting with the owners (yes - believe it), and they have every version of Cruzbike available to try. .. or Portland where Robert is...

    I was searching for a thread about Enduro XD-15 BB for you and figured I might as well steer you here: http://cruzbike.com/forum/threads/vendetta-v20-build-diary-2016.10189/#post-118508 Even though it is about a V20 build, it has tons of useful information about just about every component you...

    Garmin alternatives- Wahoo, anyone?

    Yes - it is definitely a pain in the !@#$%^ - the bluetooth thing - design flaw no doubt. The Wahoo head unit looks pretty nice. I just have never had much luck getting my Garmin Pedals to sync up with other apps on my smartphone - so I might be stuck with Garmin for now. My 510 is almost 2...

    Garmin alternatives- Wahoo, anyone?

    Rick, I think I have the 510 - isn't that the one with the touch screen? Mine automatically sync's the data to Garmin when it is connected via bluetooth, so I rarely use the USB for data transfer, only to charge it. I like the Garmin fine enough - although I have had the issue that the bluetooth...
