Mika is from Finland, blindingly cold just means it is springtime

Mika might disagree; but he's a freak, yes that's a recumbent.

It's finally getting clearer on that front. To be perfectly accurate and agnostic you need a wheel sensor. To be really close you need something that takes multiple measurements sufficient to remove the angular momentum changes inherrient in the oval rings. The ones that claim to work are...

I missed that one; I figured 50/50. mech/electric; but I certainly can see why;

Remind me, did post last week? that I tested that you can indeed install an 11-32 SRAM Cassette on an Etap short-cage; on the Vendetta Medium if you ex-seam is 36-44" the b-screw is long enough to take up the slack if your front rings are only 14T apart. aka 50/36, 52/38 etc. 50/34 would...

hmmmm I hear that a lot, especially from smart people on bike related tech shows (most of who then say; but I ride them myself personally because I like them) ...... What It tells me is the teams have sponsors; that supply parts for free; mechanics are set in their ways; and most riders couldn't...

It is funny how much gets lost after a standard is applied and then accepted as the norm. I was asked a while back why then do MTB have the adjuster at the top. The simple answer was of course that MTB usually has a cable stop a the top or a "wrapped and secured" section of housing near the...

Sometimes things become "self-referential" to the point of becoming non-obvious. If there is confusion then having a time to self-correct that can be a positive thing. Everyone here has the same long term goals; more butts on bikes. If we all wander in the same general direction it doesn't...

Yep that's understood; if you look at the retreat photos; you see me teaching someone to ride the Quest 20"; that was a quick spin up; so we could throw him on the dampened S30 and see what happened. He as intimidated by the height of the S30; so we had the quick here's how you ride this thing...

That was definitely one of those; if we are going that far and they fit in the car ideas. Now that the ideas have been seen by Robert and others; and the stock bikes are morphing is new and exciting ways I don't think they will be traveling that far again; especially since it reduces my car load...

Road Derailleurs have a tension adjuster at the derailleur. Without the two cable stops and the bare section of cable you cannot get a very precise adjustment of the derailleur position with that adjuster. It works, it just lacks precision. It's job is to account for cable housing compression...

There is a way to non permenantly disable the shock. I have the part, photos will follow but give me a couple of days to reveal the method.

You forget her Animee name is SwerLykeSaylr I had to pg-13 the comment Before I compose a serious addition to this thread here's a simple one: when you have a chance to ride 100 miles with Maria, Larry , and Tom and you sprain your ankle the night before in the Cruzbike olypmics being a goof...

I'll address this once but I really don't want to divert the core thread (I'll separate them if necessary) but since you repeatedly bring it up, as a tent pole of your argument it seems necessary. Understand that the history of "The Cruzbike Tribe" has absolutely nothing to do with earning a...

Tanya lost one (fell off on the 100 miler) immediate reaction was "holy crap wind noise sucks." That's what happens when you have ridden with them for several years. Replacement on order.

Remove drive wheel, verify front end does not fall apart without the wheel, if it does the front triangle is not square and needs to be aligned correctly. If the nose is square check for loose spokes which are always a cause of noise only when under power Failing those two tighten the headset stack

The hopey dampener is the one being tested. It is an oil based hydraulic as discussed in the thread It works as is and as tested, any one could acquire it and install it today. but it is not perfect 100% perfect for MBB and the practicality and affordability are issues to be overcome. Can the...

That is why I like them they seem less fatiguing, more smooth, and for me that means better climbing. Power never been proven out for us either too many variables, but efficient equals farther and faster Larry I am pretty sure you are one of the few that can turn OCP 1, so far no one else has...

I would say QXL 50 or 52 and OCP 4 as your starting point I like how well the 50 climbs and I coast at 40mph, and thing big are fears I can't push on a flat. Here are the calcs to compare to rounds https://www.dropbox.com/s/f48c47ncuyd28qz/qring calcs.xlsx?dl=0

Elliot is marshall2389, he just has to get off the bike now and then if he wants to post. This is after all fresh blueberry season and that can be a big road side distraction.
