Yeah - we have 4! Ben said that the Parkers will not be there this year. Too bad - we will miss them! There are a total of 12 male recumbent riders in the 12-hour. 4 of them Vendettas!

I ride many miles indoors, and I can say I can probably go about 1000 miles between waxing. Re-waxing is just so easy - plug the crock pot in - let it heat up, dip-it, let it dry, bend each link to break the wax, good to go another 1000! I also did it because of the cleanliness of it. Taking the...

I just called Garmin about their Vector pedal power systems in an effort to find out their sampling rate per revolution. The customer service guy did not know what the sampling rate is. They know it is at least once a second - but they can't find out the data. They said: "We cannot disclose the...

That would be nice, but I doubt if I have enough "years" left to master the "full potential"! There are just soooooo many variations of things to try. That won't stop me though - I love to experiment and test as you well know... ;)

I did not have to do that: I just uplugged the FD and my RD still works. I did not do any re-programming to the system

I have totally un-hooked the FD and the RD still works. I also bought a extra Di2 TT shifter, battery, junction box, 3 cables and RD with the thought of being able to stick them on all the other recumbents quickly when I test. The RD works just fine all by itself, even without a FD shifter in...

What Ratz said. I am also lucky in that I seldom ride anything steeper than 7-8% grade, so I don't even have my FD hooked up any more - problem solved.. :)

I'll keep it in mind, that would be fun. It looks like the date is not set yet either - hopefully they'll set it soon. I was also thinking of doing the Lake Taupo in New Zealand, which is scheduled for Nov. 26.

Layne, just click the "Upload a file" button down to the lower right of the "posting pane". Then another window will pop up asking you to "select" the file to upload. Once it's uploaded you will be given the option to leave it as a "thumbnail" - small - or insert into the post at original size...

Nice Rick - let me know when you are taking orders! :) I will get out there to visit you one day, I really will. Jealous that Jason is close enough to drive to your place!

Peder, rather an odd question, why would someone in USA contact someone in Norway for a possible recumbent purchase? Seems a strange way to go about it! To each his own.

Yes that is my beloved "Road Runner #1". Have a lot of fun with her! She is fast! That wheel set is the bomb!

Danke für die Ergänzung , Marc . Natürlich, jetzt zeigen Ihnen deutschsprachige ab. Ich dachte, Sie würden uns Französisch Sprachunterricht statt geben. .. haha.. Not sure if it is right, but I just love playing with google translate. ;)

That is a good idea and I'll try it. The one thing that the dragster bars give me is the ability to push the slider more away from me and make my arms straighter, which I would not be able to do with the MTB bars ends because I can't push the slider forward at all or else the stubby bar will hit...

What is the total weight? I am thinking it is under a pound. I'll do a mock-up here in our shipping department and check UPS against USPS rates to various places It might also depend on where it is going. I would think if you could package them in a padded envelope (property protected) that it...

I does take a while to master it - but it also increases speed by about 1/2 mph with the same wattage. Some have pointed out (Jim P for one) that I am probably giving up the ability to use my upper body for any power input since no real leverage with the stubby handlebar, which may be true. It...

Just a quick note to remind everyone of the Calvin's Challenge event this coming April, 30 in Springfield, Ohio. http://www.calvinschallenge.com/ Last year, this was my first 12 hour race on my Vendetta, and to my recollection, we had at least 4 Vendettas there representing Cruzbike: Jim...

And believe me there are many, many of those "pain receptors"... I am trusting they sleep dormantly the rest of this year for me! ... Of course, I'll still pick sliding down and getting road rash all over my hips and arms, versus getting run over by a 4000+ vehicle.. :eek:

Thanks Bill, A lot of it is probably just "aero-ness" of me on the bike through a lot of trial and error with different equipment. These other things also contribute: I weight about 160 pounds' 60 or 80 mm rims on my wheels, and/or a solid disc rear Conti GP4000sii tires with latex tubes Carry...

The real problem - apart from being horrible at Spanish is that I can't really speak (or spell on my own) English either - especially the "Queen's English"!
