    Q-ring/front derailleur issue

    The Redding CA office has better weather; so that has to be factored in.

    chased by ....

    He did a good Joe impression with the sneak attack. If I hadn't heard the tall grass rustling behind me; I'd probably been wishing I had pepper spray.

    Shimano XT 9 speed derailleur with 40 cassete cog

    Depends on the knuckle and the length of you B-Bolt to control if it can get low enough to get under the cassette. About the only way to know is to mount it and try it. Other than that, Rear Dellrailleurs are mostly limited by capaticy of the cage; the left /right travel hasn't changed much...

    Diet: Low Carb and Ultra Cycling

    Human like to insult humans I don't think that's limited to evangelicals and mostly I don't think they are really trying to insult, sometimes we take it that way. Growth opportunity for me I know my relatives give me ample practice on regular occasion and with predictable assuredly. Heart...

    Converting QX100 to NuvinciN360

    Thats the one used because it has a push up and push down mode and it has enough left right adjustment for the n360 chain line

    Trainer

    Good trainer; if quiet is king that's the one (example apartment dwellers that don't want to annoy the neighbors). The problem with it is there is no fly wheel; it use electric magnetics to generate resistance; so if you stop pedaling it stops almost instantly. That means it won't feel natural...

    Dang NON-MBB's don't have enough pedal steer to be stable

    Balance is a funny thing; when I go to the Midwest Recumbent Rally I like to ride the stick bike; I look like a fool. Much better on the trikes. I think I could still ride a Jet Ski If I have the right protective gear. Pretty sure I can still jump out the side of boat and hang on Good...

    Q-ring/front derailleur issue

    Steve's bracket could lower the bracket but it's main use is to give the super powerful Di2 front derailleur something to push against.

    Strength and diameter are the major limiters.

    Shapeways 3D Printing

    Sorry read this on the go and then forgot to answer. I usually get my feet in the photos; but the field of vision is so wide I just crop them out of the find edits.

    Converting QX100 to NuvinciN360

    You can violate 1.8 on a CB you can't generate enough torque on a recumbent to break the hub in the recumbent position; it takes a pedal force that would give you about 1800 watts or more. I ran a 2.1 ration on my CT700 for 3000 miles without any issues. Not that you need to; but maybe that...

    Silvio ready to roll

    It's basically a Seat post screw; just a medium to long one. and that's the best; they aren't expensive to replace; I stripped the one on the Vendetta doing the build diary and Robert got me a new one within a week.

    Trainers?

    Yes; ours came with 10speeds and we did the reverse. It's simple if you have a cassette wrench and a chain whip. If not now is the right time to get them. There are some nice $40 bike tool kits on Amazon I can point you to; if you want simple ones and some other tools so you get more bang for...

    chased by ....

    Don't know...... I would rather be chased by a photoshopped bear than a real dog Bears run 40mph you don't out ride a bear on a mountain bike even if your name is Jason. But it is a funny vid.

    Spring Time - Learning To Ride Time

    That I would call coasting in most cases. I was thinking more about non stop pedaling at a very slow speed for more than 100meters. That happen a multi use trails out in crowds. Where as the car situation or those awful road furniture a beginner can use other skills to get by. Then with time...
