I have another song in my mind: "It's five o'clock somewhere"!

A friend of mine suggested automotive trim adhesive called sticky tack, I think. He said they used to use that back in the day for sew up tires. Mark

I did this same ride tonight. This time, I did not stop and wait for my friends. I feel like all the stopping and waiting really doesn't do that much to improve my fitness and that's what I'm really all about right now. So, I pushed pretty hard to see how it would go. I was impressed with...

Then you'd really, really, REALLY spin the front tire! Mark

Those are the same adjusters I got at my LBS. They are pretty nice, but I didn't use one on the front. Doug, I was having a hard time figuring out why you needed the adjusters on the front, but remembered my LBS guy telling me Campy had changed their front shifters. The nice thing about the...

Jack did build a Joshua conversion, but took the kit off of it for his current Cannondale. Mark

Is that Randy Newman I hear in the background? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1NvgLkuEtkA :lol: :lol: :lol: Sorry. :oops: Mark

Actually, being drilled for Schraders isn't such a bad thing. If you are touring, sometimes Schrader is all you can find in small town podunk. There are machined goodies you can get to reduce the hole to Presta, or a rubber grommet will work, too. So, run Prestas with the adapter, but if you...

Being a country boy at heart, I was thinking something more along the lines of a camoflauge pattern, maybe Mossy Oak. :lol: :lol: :lol: Mark

Way to go, Moose! Time for a Silvio, huh? Mark

I think I need to find a place like that where I can practice different starting techniques. I tend to think higher gear/lean forward to start, but that is counterintuitive to everything you have ever learned. OTOH, so is everything else with this bike! :roll: :lol: I think too low of a gear...

No, I haven't measured the weight distribution yet. It's on my list of "to do" things and something I'm curious to find out how it changes as I attempt to reshape my body. The Silvio doesn't have a shock, per se. It has an elastomer shock absorber, which is nothing more than a chunk of rubber...

The one area of concern for me with the fwd bicycle is the all too easy ability to break the front tire loose, especially when taking off on an uphill with dirty pavement below. It seems to me there should be a technique to avoid this problem. I've not found it to be a problem going uphill...

Yeah, you would think Doug would have at least used some cool designer cardboard, huh!??! Cheapskate! ;) :lol: :lol: Mark

Amen, brother! Mark

Dude, it's still pretty! Mark

Well, it really wasn't much of a prophesy, more of a no-brainer. If you are going to ride a bent, this one is the best, hands down. I rode with a friend of mine that used to own a bike shop and sold me my first bent (Vision). He said this was the most intelligent recumbent design he has seen...

I think our admins are kind of learning on the fly, too, so bear with them. As the need arises, I'm sure they'll sort some of these things out. Mark

They would definitely work, with Paul Thumbies. Mark

Yes... Bike porn, please! :lol: Mark
