    Too much neck flexion

    How tall are you again? If you are an average 5'6"+ the neck rest should come all the way down and work. Shorter and Eric's approach is about the only way to use the stock stuff. If you are in that 5'6-5'7" range you might have the entire boom too far forward by 5-10mm; that would push your...

    Too much neck flexion

    That can be a sign of two things. Either to much forward reach bringing shoulders in forward and staring neck. Or having the head rest too far out. Best tested on a trainer but bring the neck rest in at 5mm increments takes for ever but there is a big difference between correct and almost...

    Diet: Low Carb and Ultra Cycling

    For those following along. If you get into the long slow base endurance building and you want to ride "Carb depleted" then bullet proof coffee is your friend.

    Shine on you crazy diamond

    yep headlights are gone; but if you email him there are 70 more taillights to be built. Too bad there aren't clear lenses; the taillight is not that different from the headlight. I'll let you know how the testing of the gemini goes; had to order that for PluckyBlond's bike to go with the DS...
