    Bullhorn and Dropbar Options

    This is sure is a LONG thread! :) Nice summary Ratz - sure saves time not having to go back through "9 pages" of posts! I've got a set of the Profile Design T2 Wing I may try this summer when I get a chance. So much other stuff to test though. XQL rings, various cranks lengths, various seat...

    Adjusting to different seat angles

    Can you email them to me? :) Imagine that virtual PT! Good thing I am going to my PT for my shoulder this afternoon - I will try and get him to spend some time on my neck area for me! How fortuitous! It was 4 weeks today I had the surgery - so if everything is in order, then I can start some...

    Adjusting to different seat angles

    Road with my "8 degree offset wedge" yesterday. Forgot to account for the headrest however - terrible neck ache all day. Here's why: Original 20 degree: Seat with "wedge in place - head has no-where to go except back! :( So much for that experiment. I definitely need to build an adjustable...

    Questions re: Silvio from a stickbike/lowracer rider

    I am really more curious about what Bob uses the "Axe" for: over to the upper right? I have that tool too, but I usually don't have it out when working on or loading bicycles! :)

    I feel like the groundhog who saw his shadow

    Yes, Jon is it amazing the looks you get. I have had people who were crossing a road actually stop in the middle and stare at me. When I take it on vacation, I think I spend more time talking about the bike to people than riding it! It is kind of like once you stop and start talking to somebody...

    Adjusting to different seat angles

    Ratz - Yes I could do that - just as I hand coded complete web pages with spreedsheets, calenders,etc 2 decades ago - but definitely no time for that now - then I couldn't complain either. :O Steve - Good data and input - Thanks, I actually rode my 100 minute recovery ride this morning on with...

    I feel like the groundhog who saw his shadow

    Yes, it was a great ride on our super-secret test track. 3 1/2 weeks after surgery - first time to have to actually steer the bike. Mild pain, but also surprised at how much effort it took to steer since it had been so long since last time on the open road Amazing how much you can lose in that...

    Adjusting to different seat angles

    Thanks Lief - and yes I am 55, but have never felt in as good a shape as I do now (yeah - except for my shoulder. 4 weeks from surgery tomorrow) - and good point Charles - but the same goes for any jpg or any other picture format for that matter. Anyone can take a picture of anything that would...

    Power meter for Vendetta

    You certainly have a way with words Ratz! Inspiring as always! You to Jon - If I didn't already have a power meter, I'd run right out and buy one after reading your post!

    Q-Rings, input please

    You could still gold-plate them for her! :) That would earn some serious brownie points - but better buy a stouter lock for her.

    Adjusting to different seat angles

    Dont' really know why they won't allow a spreadsheet upload. I'll run it by Lucia and the webmaster.

    Adjusting to different seat angles

    Converted to pdf, but doesn't seem to the same "look" and "feel" as suspected, but the data is there at least

    New Vendetta V20

    Hey wait a minute- I still can't scratch my nose! What's the problem?

    Nice Christmas ornaments now I guess! Get them gold plated and hang em up somewhere!

    Adjusting to different seat angles

    Thanks for the input both of you. Rick, to answer you question about when I switched from my S to the V: Yes, I feel lost I lost power (a lot of it), but I did not feel any soreness really. I just could not push nearly as hard. I could go just as fast even a little faster on my V, but of course...

    Adjusting to different seat angles

    Bob, Rick, anyone else out there that regularly switches between different bikes/seat angles: Do you find it hard to "get in the zone" after changing from Vendetta to Silivio (or other), and then back again? Just wondering how much saddle time I should put in with my "incline pad" on my...

    New Vendetta V20

    DF = Diamond Frame, but I think the official "Cruzbike" word for them now is "old fashioned bike" = OFB Abbott - You look like you are already riding a recumbent, so the seat angle should't be too much of a problem for you. If you aren't then it might take a little getting used to, but...

    Steering damper/stabilizer

    Way to go Jon! Yes - My shoulders and arms used to be so sore for the first month of riding due to my "death grip". It's almost like if you don't think about it and just ride, it is relaxing, but the moment you start trying to concentrate on a specific aspect, then you tense up. I can't wait...
