    Heads up; Flo Wheels are back in stock

    Great combo for winds and nice because if you really like them you can over time pick up a 60mm front so you can do 60x60 on calm days; or add another 45 for hills or super windy days. As for the hanging and inflating yep that there is a pro-tip

    White Mountain Double Century and Final Race for the CA Triple Crown Stage Race

    Lol that thing is soo silly watch the other rides "ease" up and ghost pedal to make it look like he's actually faster. Still some good muscles there but that's anything but fast. That a got a lot of chuckles when it first appeared a few weeks ago. I don't get credit for debunking it; but once it...

    The One's where pretty fragile compared to the Pro One;s they swing Ultremo like in that they are good for about 2500-3000 miles max. The big complaint with them is that the side walls didn't hold up when run at low pressure. Meanwhile Ultremo tend to shed strings if you run them at high...

    Drill Venting Holes in the Carbon Soles of you Shoes?

    I'm still a full on convert to the BOA based system's the stretch the shoe around the foot for a correct fit. Has to be tried to really understand.

    Which Tire?

    Minneapolis Silvio

    4000 miles is really good mileage from the front tire of a FWD; the tire side walls take a lot of lateral forces over and above a RWD setup. Running low pressure while comfortable will increase the rate of wear on the side wall as well, so factor that in if you are doing that as well. I would...

    Wheel and or Spoke Lights?

    I've got the lunasee in spring to give it try; those are only 4mm and they are pretty bright; that's why the nori's looked better with the 6mm strip. Right no the Nori stuff is on sales; so that $100 would get you the lights and 6mm strips for $60 and the second set of 6mm strips for $40 so...

    Wheel and or Spoke Lights?

    Gotta go with the motorcycle heritage. Something simple like http://shop.lunasee.com/category-s/1820.htm The biggest trick it getting the emitters in the right spot on the front wheel, but I'm sure you could fab something better than the stock stuff which do work but could be better. Lunasee has...

    Sold: Quest v2 559/451 for Sale

    I have two full 451 wheel sets, and an extra 559 set for that matter. So that is certainly a possibility. Some stuff I just packed away for winter; but I can dig them out after Recumbent-cycle-con to photo graph etc. The wheels have rotors for Avid BB5 disc brakes, 9 speed cassettes pretty...

    I sense a disturbance in the 3rd Law

    There's chance we might buy "1" for sharing between the wife and I for when we do our 6-8 solo stuff; LiveTrack from Garmin just doesn't do it. If we do we might share it out for Big Events.... We'll see what Santa brings.

    What did you do to your Cruzbike today?

    Setup the 40mm, 60mm and 90mm wheels so they can get some break in before the snow flys' don't want to go into Sebring without any road testing ahead of time. Of course had 2 rolls of tubeless rim tape the wrong width. Ordered 19mm needed 25 to get full coverage; now I'll have to redo 3 full...
