    Video Ride report

    Yes that is the altimeter grade. The data does drift with time though; there is much to be learned to make those really good. I can have it perfectly synced at the start on a railroad track but it never matches at the end. You can't rename me until I get my hands on one of these; (Hide your...

    Video Ride report

    This is some what interesting. Mrs Ratz did a ride on a windy day last weekend. We had a Rideye camera filming forward and a Fly 6 recording backwards. I have edited them together and put them into a split-screen video; with data overlays. It's far two long to watch the entire thing; but it is...

    Questions re: Silvio from a stickbike/lowracer rider

    Joe's in his 70's and suffered a pretty major crash that put him off the bike for ¾ of a year. Let's definately hope he's around for a while to write more.

    New Vendetta V20

    For front covers you just have to find someone that is willing to sell you Qty 2 non-drive side covers from a rear wheel. The dish on the non drive side on most 130mm rears is very close to the dishing on both sides of a standard 100mm front wheel. You get 3 basic options. Make your own, buy...

    Yep Larry I do believe you are on the key points. And Charles is correct it's a very personal thing as even you pedaling style is going to influence your preference. I think it comes down to Length of thigh versus femur and the angle that you like your foot at. A vertical pointed toe brings...

    I'm not a hydration bladder guy as that's really only good for water and not fuel mixes. So if you stray from the bladder check out: http://cruzbike.com/forum/threads/how-i-spent-my-summer-vacation.7599/#post-28370 My final configuration can be done with off the shelf parts and if using all...

    Questions re: Silvio from a stickbike/lowracer rider

    Yeap I'm 3.5 out on 50 and combined "Fast after 50" and "Racing weight - Quick Start" for a very effective system. I've mentioned it elsewhere. Mrs Ratz has hit her highschool weight; and I'm well on my way there. Next up body fat ratio's.

    Good solution Gary, I'm going to go check that out for a glasses based solution..... Our Optometrist is a biker; he let me try a ton of different mutifocal contacts using samples. We finally found both extend where and disposables that work great. The extend where I can use during "life" and...

    Drivetrain suggestions?

    The wife and I have been following the "racing weight - quick start" program. I'm down 25 and she closing in on highschool weight. Both of us have been able to increase power and strength at the same time while training. Granted if not loosing weight the power gains would be a lot higher; but to...

    Excellent progress. Well done. This is pretty typical; the brain given a break will process what it learned and adapt. Some of the best learning in the early stages of the bike; is 30 minutes on 1 hour off; repeat 3-4 times.

    Just tape "upload" in the lower right hand corner. But you'll need to used an app called "simple resize" to make the photos under 1mb first.

    You betcha. I have one ride in and I need to change the computer programming to figure out what I want the buttons to do. Start saving you cash. It rocks and mrs ratz has more road rides in and agrees.
