    Incredibly Stable Recumbents

    Cool So on a DF Bike 6m/s is the optimal ghost rider speed. That would have been very useful to know when I was 13. I didn't read the papers yet and it looks like a mighty fine first pass at trying to extend the study; nicely done. The results really do make sense but they do seem right...

    new carbon seat - just lighter or also longer?

    Yes same size Yes the seat is the same size. I got one to replace the seat I cranked on the Silvio crash. I weighed it; it is 1 pound lighter; thinner; and without the joint between the two halves; it's more stable in the butt pan. The holes for the water cages are welcome change; and...

    Ventisit - Arrives

    Got the marketing email today and ShaZam the Ventisit seat pad is now an Accessory. That's excellent news and I'll take a second to point out that the price at $99 is pretty nice too. It's was costing me about $125-35 to bring them in with conversion and shipping; from the suppliers website...

    V has poor aerodynamics

    Lived it. Lived in Florida Great place to ride; until it's time to clean the sand out of the drive train. Use to get 1000-2000 miles less every year. Only place I have lived that waxing a chain seemed to make seen. I will say thought the idea of being chased by a gator when riding in the...

    Amateur aerodynamics

    Dial that in sweet smallest fairing ever. Get that dialed in and get terra cycle to produce them for the s30 and v20. That would solve my aero problem for installing a computer right there on the bars.... I really need to learn to work with aluminum

    Reversed Handlebar (or Ghetto Bullhorns)

    Yep That's was the problem that drove the whole adventure last year. What I think we see here is that for some of use; not all. The higher the handle bars / lower the BB the more we see this problem; and it's relative to body length; arms; and waist to shoulder length. Perhaps it's more...

    Reversed Handlebar (or Ghetto Bullhorns)

    Good queston Mr Rose, If that's really your name; getting hard to tell the elves apart around here. Those are good questions, 1) Takes longer to dial in the reach; more trial and error. 2) Easy to get it too far out; then shoulders get strained and leg interference becomes an issue...
