funny to onlookers when you fall of rollers John, Layout: I basically laid out the rollers on the ground and took exact measurements of it base. Then drew up the plans, showing cut-outs of the drums and the bands that had to be above the deck. Pretty simple approach, nothing exotic. Yes...

than Gosh Mark, what a good idea - buying an extra mirror would have been vastly more simple than building this crazy platform. But what would I have done that whole day after Thanksgiving!

I have a set of Kreitler rollers with the headwind trainer (which basically allows you to put drag on the rotating cylinders, plus it blows air at you to help cool you down) They are great for balance. I got very good at riding my DF on it many years ago. I eventually got to where I could with...

Kudos on the electric Kudos on the electric conversion

OK Bob - You now qualify as OK Bob - You now qualify as the reigning Cruzbike/Di2 expert! I think I'm going to have to plan a rode trip up to you so you can help me with mine on my new V20 now!

Thanks Eric for the tons of Thanks Eric for the tons of great information! All great! The one thing I have not got any information on is about the night time segment on a 24-hour race. It would be great to get some data of how much on average people slow down during the night hours, etc...

You have made a good point You have made a good point Robert. The V (any bike really) has to be custom configured for the course to be ridden, just as the wheel set for the wind on the day of the race. I guess this first pass I am going after the Sebring course. I have looked briefly at a...

Thanks for all the bar and Thanks for all the bar and aero info Bob. I am already working on a platform for my rollers to make them a little safer when riding the V. Pictures to follow of course. That way I can develope my sense of balance with whatever handlebar system I decide to go with...

Hamster or Tiller Bars I have been looking around online for some of these bars to use for testing. I am coming up black, except for refrences to them in this forum and BROL. Anybody know where a fella could pick up a set, new or used?

You are a riot Rick!! You are a riot Rick!! You have to video that catch one day and play it back for us!! ......... I don't have time to look it up, but another nice sound to make whilst passing your buds, would be the road-runner. "beep-beep" Kudos to you. ..p.s. Oh yeah -...

watts per KG OK Ratz, you said: ?"I get excited when I can put out 1.5w/kg. Pro riders are +3w/kg. " Are you sure about your +3w/kg for pros. I am thinking more like >5w/kg..... .. I know you are joking about 1.5 for you. I see your ride data, and unless you weigh in at about 250lbs...

reply to Andrew's question "In my first 12 hour race last August, I rode my S for this first 104 miles, then Maria lent me her V for the next 52. Even though it was sized way wrong and I had other troubles, I tasted the speed and the aero." What would you say about differences in your...

OK, Getting serious now! I have ordered a V20 frameset! My goal is to create the fastest Vendetta I can and have it ready and broken in for Sebring 2014 on Feb 14th for either a 12 or 24 hour race. I saw on some website an M5 loweracer had published a 40kph speed at 175 watts. (Do not...

st 104 mile Andrew, Just don't ride a V, then you won't know what you are missing! In my first 12 hour race last August, I rode my S for this first 104 miles, then Maria lent me her V for the next 52. Even though it was sized way wrong and I had other troubles, I tasted the speed and the...

my newest indoor training setup I am getting more set for winter now. I have taken over the "sunroom" much to my wife's dismay. :( Mounted a flat screen (thank you black Friday) to the wall so I can see the workout, or the route I am riding. Shown is TrainerRoad displaying a workout I...

Yeah Bob,That is pretty much Yeah Bob, That is pretty much what you get around here anyway, unless you go to the track! We have about 2000' climbing in 25 or so miles. We have a deal: I draft him up the hills, he drafts me down the hill and on the flats! Its a good deal for both of...

I'll definitely agree with I'll definitely agree with all that is said. When I ride really hard (>80 of my FTP), my abs are aching when I am done! The other thing that I noticed, is that you see how week you upper body is after you ride for 3-4 hours, or more of course. My arms ached and...

Bob, the strange thing is, is Bob, the strange thing is, is that I do not even get a chance to pick a file. The "File attachments" link that I currently see at the bottom of this page is not there. There other strange thing is that when I am in, say "Vendetta Brag Board", and click "Post to...

What a beautiful day in Asheville, NC in late November! 65 degrees, sunny, and just enough wind to remind it is late November when you are in the shade!
