    Spring is HERE!! lets see your RIDE!!

    I am usually the one shooting the photos but today Mrs Ratz was playing with high speed photo mode with the SLR and we got a few photo sequences from my training ride today from the trail and from the chase car. (Note it's creepy when the chase car is electric because you really don't hear that...

    Climbing and Sprinting technical talk

    Pulling from the past BROL conversation where this exact conversation got diverted.... I want to add some of my muscle engagement observations. In my personal experience The upper body stuff comes into play when I want it to; I can bridge on my Silvio and Vendetta just like I could on my Trike...

    Sizing conundrum

    It's going to be relative to the rider; In my case if the bb goes down really low the handle bar is going to go up and forward; that will allow me to sit up taller if I choose to and I get a position that is similar to a p-38 or a Quest 20". I know from our Quest 20" that I can generate a lot...

    Sizing conundrum

    Kline, wait for the medium; with that x-seam you will be happier; I'm 39-40 ish on the x-seam and the height of the bb is excellent for the position on the bike; a small would have worked for me just but would have been much more of a climber.

    How I spent my Summer Vacation (an ongoing vendetta saga)

    If you use the stock bite value it slide open and closed to keep the water up in the tube. I forgot about that.

    yes there is far too much "iMovie-Fu" to that product. All the new apple stuff has become far too dumbed down on the interface catering to that lowest common denominator.

    How I spent my Summer Vacation (an ongoing vendetta saga)

    We like the Flexr enough that we ordered the same setup for Mrs. Ratz Sivio 2.0. We are hoping to install all that this weekend. I think it could be made to work with under the seat bottles; the kit comes with a lot of hose. I cut off more than 60% of the length. Their website is really screwy...

    Twist shifters?

    I've got XO's on the quest and about 1000 miles on it on the trainer and on the road with SRAM Force Derailleurs. The work really good, but the the precision of them doesn't match what a good APEX level brifter does when set correct. On the V2.0 the amount of power/torque you can put on the...

    Sizing conundrum

    Nope will work just fine. At one time I recall John T said he was considering a longer fork stem and having people cut it down to size but that seem to intimidate people (bike shops frequently cut the forks to size on custom builds). So instead they stayed short as that was more common and the...
