    One leg inducing wobble - any suggestions?

    +1 on pedaling circles. The wobble may seem a more exaggerated for you because you have recumbent experience; and as such you aren't struggling with other things early on. Laying back for instance isn't' giving a host of other more important things to worry about. So you are naturally stable...

    The Beauty of these frame is you can hide a pump and an extra tube in the frame. I just cut some foam the size of the frame; poked a hole in the center of it and put an tiny blackburn pump in it (pretty much the same as the Di2 battery in the boom). No appreciable weight; and makes no noise. If...

    Ride in slow straight lines; take hand off of handle bar place on hip. You will quickly release that you are death gripping with your hands and creating wobble that doesn't come from your feet or the bottom bracket. Wash, Rinse, Repeat. And watch out for those leaves; I did a similar spill on...

    Somewhere near the mid point. We could say he's laying down the law at 28mph but he is riding a vendetta so we'll credit him as cruzing along

    I believe his chase car is posting periodic non group links to his private facebook page. The first one had a short expiration on it; I think they figured it out now. The current one is good for 4 more hours. http://glympse.com/0C9Q-XQXW?fb_ref=Default Still holding strong at 23 mph. Favorable...

    That looks like a pretty good fit for right out of the box. Until you add clip shoes both leg reach and full flex looks good to start with; if you want you could go out probably another 20mm by moving the whole boom forward for a little less knee bend at the apex; and to get you arms just a tad...

    I actually use velcro wire wrap; but I was trying to think of something non-computer guys would have in the garage. Or in Eric case that he could probably find in his garage without something falling on him. I always have tons of this on hand because it's so useful if you are a hyper organizer...
