Cars are a necessary evil for transporting bikes to non local routes. I'd photograph the awesome tetris that is our garage but then Eric and Rick would abuse me for weeks.

Right now it's on a Wood dowel that is mounted to the front bracket. I have designs on a GoPro based mount. But first I'm going to give this a through shake down; but I expect it will change.

It's almost warm enough outside to start looking forward to regular outdoor riding. This past Saturday I had the chance to do my first shake down ride of navigation upgrade. The result was a pleasant success out of the gate. The plan this summer is to ride a lot of new routes and avoid...

8-9 weeks will be plenty of 8-9 weeks will be plenty of time the learning curve is exponential. Sessions with 1-2 hours break between work great; quantity of sessions is more important the session duration. The brain needs lots of input to digest and make rapid progress. A 20 minute session is...

It's hard not to sound like It's hard not to sound like "Get off my lawn guy" on this topic, So I'll try not to and probably will fail miserably. Don't do it; friends don't let friends install stabilizers :) Seriously consider long and hard before you make that choice. There is no...

We are rooting for both of you to mend fast. We are rooting for both of you to mend fast. After loosing 2 years to the neck and collar bone injuries I feel every stitch of your frustration, the lack of real info you get from the Doctors is stunning sometimes, you never expect them "not...

In da house Must say the actual size of the batteries is pleasantly small.

Nah get all 3...... Nah get all 3...... Quest 20", for Marauding done the M.U.P. in heavy traffic. Silvio, for Social riding with other roadies. Vendetta, for Solo stuff because nobody is going to hang with you if there is any head wind. All seriousness though there is a does...

See I didn't have to load a See I didn't have to load a photo. The ones Steve has are the ones I have yet to install; bike shop is back in the garage now just need steady warm weather.

I have special brackets that I have special brackets that I haven't installed. Partly for time available and partly because so far it's been working and it's a very invasive change. I will likely install them, but it's a caution thing. Currently we are running compact doubles with Q-Rings on...

Nah .... It's more fun to make funny comments on that thread :) It's almost time to start a chain lube thread to ramp up winter.

Oh the clamp. It was made from scratch by Steve (scabenetguy). It's the same clamp he used for his new AeroBag setup. I just didn't paint mine yet.

3rd law invoked. Damit I hate it when I have to invoke the 3rd law. DS500 ordered. If I actually do the RAM 400 qualifier in July I'm going to want that Ds1300 too. Go go tax return. Oh and by my count thanks to Slim and me I think they still have 3 in stock. Get'em while they gott'em.

You kinda have to see a Fly6 You kinda have to see a Fly6 running to believe it; the thing is deadly bright in the top mode; way too bright for another biker to tailgate you in the day light. I was shocked actually I expected a down grade from the Portland Design light we used last year...

Yeah it's now full on college Yeah it's now full on college saving season with two leaving the nest over the next two summers. But you are correct all the pieces on that bike are setup to be directly trans planted to a V20 I doubt I'd have a problem selling the Silvo Frame; although our...

First Ride..... First Flat Finally got Quickr all finished up for the road season. Turned out pretty good. Of course it was warms so I had take it around the block and promptly forgot about a manhole and got a pinch flat and a minor ding in the new rims. *sigh* Before the flat I was taken...

This struck me as interesting. It was about a year ago that we were finishing up building Mrs. Ratz's Silvio. After a year of learning to ride and putting in the time to train all winter I had to make good on my promise to upgrade her ride. This is a good example of how the bike your...

They look like the smaller They look like the smaller plastic bracket that you get with a standard bike taillight. They aren't strictly needed as the Velcro is sufficient to hold the seat in place. Some of use don't install them so that we can stash a spare tube in the frame. Our Silvio's and...
