    Q ring upgrade - Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh......

    Found this on PowerTap support website http://www.powertap.com/support/faqs/p1-pedals#p1-oval-chainrings DO THE P1 PEDALS SUPPORT OVAL/NON-ROUND CHAINRINGS? Non-round rings are supported perfectly with the P1. We are taking 40 individual angular velocity measurements and subsequently 40 power...

    Bikeism & Everesting

    Because even if you were last to the top; you'd be first to the bottom; and many recumbent riders could drink the entire supply of malt beverages while they wait for everyone else to get to the bottom. Seems silly to exclude the heavy bikes from the challenge. Someone had a dull axe in need of...

    Seat Mod

    Silvio I prefer thin, On the rest of the bikes: comfort It does affect leg reach and boom settings if you swap them out. I have the new design flat bottom ones for the new V20's. Not sure if I'lll prefer those to the rounded bottom ones; breaking one in on the trainer now.

    I sense a disturbance in the 3rd Law

    There is a big sign on the door for UPS today; that politely says; don't you dare not wait for me to get to the door and sign for that package.

    Recumbent Newbie

    Pretty much everyone is using SRAM Apex solid core cranks. They are very reliable for shortening. Hollow cranks can't be shortened.

    Vendetta versus Silvio on less-than-ideal road surfaces

    All things wheels and tires being equal. Silvio glides on most road surfaces including chipseal. The V20 buzzes down those roads, and you feel the vibrations and the road; Hit an unseen manhole cover with a 3in lip at speed on a Silvio and you wake up; on the V20 you blow a tire or just about...

    The Road to 500 miles in 24hrs

    Install 2 giant purplesky flags to add drag. Then tell the other riders to think of you as the pace car that does the whole ride with them.

    Ok cool toy of the day. Wahoo finally released a dual band, magnet less speed sensor for the wheel hub. For Cruzbikers that what to track speed and or speed and cadence this is a good day. No more futzing around trying to find a spot that works well to get a reading. Yea, Garmin has their...

    Oh and having a ground tracking number is harder than following a RAAM racer across the country.

    I sense a disturbance in the 3rd Law

    Still one has to wonder what risk they pose in a box in the cargo hold. I did read the Registry doc from the US government (my day job has some intersects with those dam publications). It basically allows for the shipping of the battery goods as part of a larger product; but not in bulk. But it...

    Spring Time - Learning To Ride Time

    Around here they sometimes say ½ mile which doesn't convert well to km so I pick a unit that would lead you to the answer.

    I sense a disturbance in the 3rd Law

    I agree I fully expect to wind up with 2 extra sets that I will offer up here at what I paid for them; the tribe should benefit from the many many hours I stalked the online stores to figure out who'd take an order. After that if nobody I know wants them I'll ebay them for a small gain.

    Fortunately, Mrs Ratz is well trained. The supplier called to make sure we really wanted two sets on Sunday; and then again today to ask if Ground shipping was ok; implying we might actually cancel them she just laughed at them with the "ya right". Then the sales guy just about wet himself that...

    Why didn't I think of that.

    I can relate to this article. Why didn't I think of that. http://www.velominati.com/defining-moments/drive-sidenon-drive-side/

    front wheel change

    This begs for the uncut video demo on Team Moose blog. I'm never straight headed enough post flatting to do that the uncontrolled swearing gets in the way. However since going tubeless it hasn't been an issue unless I crashed

    Aw man, what is this; they no longer can "ship by plane" goods with Batteries in the USA. Where's the logic in that? It's not like the passenger compartment is full to the brim with 4 lithium ion batteries per passenger. My goodness we are a silly country sometimes. Looks like we'll be...
