Marc any ride report? Marc, I'm curious how you like the brifters as bullhorns now that you've been riding for awhile? I've made the decision to change my Vendetta over to brifters as bullhorns in September, I like the narrower had position, it's more stable and solid for me; I really...

Seat Cushions? Paul, Do you have the seat cushions? In that distance shot It looks like you are laying on the bare fiber/carbon seat?

Break those habits; not that horse [[Stolen verbatim from another thread]] Here's the script we use when people come to ride the Quests and see if it's for them. We've refined this over a bunch of people this summer; we are at 20 riders as of August; Some family, some friends, and a good...

Then there is the rear.... Since you have discovered the front brake-stand, then it's probably time to point out that you don't want to lock up the rear at speed going down hill. In the event you do; the effect resembles locking the brakes on a pickup truck; 1 second the back end is behind you...

The first rule..... The first rule of fake horse club is you don't talk about fake horse club. Tallihoe!

Huff and puff. Rick, Yes I caught her, probably would have been faster to just ride hard to catch her; the waving and yelling was pointless and just slowed me down. Then we had to run a Quest Pace Line to get back up to her sister. Funny how they never miss a turn on level ground. Figures...

If there aren't photos it didn't...... Thanks to the people that ride fast; and post to the internet we got a couple nice action shots. Sabrina was riding her first event. She's been riding bikes for about 3 weeks; and is know as "Green Helmet" since you can see her coming for about 2...

We accounted for one for the We accounted for two of the 20" and one 26 inch. So 50%; Taught 2 guys to ride; and saw at least 1 other lesson going on. All and all it was fun. Daughter 2 of 5 did her first 45 miler on her quest 20 and learned to clip in; so it was a good event. One more...

I am off at the rally, and I I am off at the rally, and I need to redo the headset stack on the v when I get back. But so far Rick has nailed my experience; the bike is just more efficient. Door to Door Average Mph has been 1-2 mph faster. On segments I have given it a go; it's 3-4. But on...

2 Quest 20" 2 Quest 26" 1 Vendetta 1 Silvio 1.0 And that is just the Friday showing; we'll see how shows up tomorrow.

Yup that sounds familiar as Yup that sounds familiar as all heck; ...how tricky can it be.... *cough* ok off to the parking lot to practice the drills. Little doses over a number a days pays big dividends. Sleeping on it; acutually works.

Here's the script we use when Here's the script we use when people come to ride the Quests and see if it's for them. We've refined this over a bunch of people this summer; we are at 20 riders as of August; Some family, some friends, and a good number of former strangers. If doing this on...

Rack Test #1 Completed Robert, On friday we'll do the first extend haul with the rack. But yesterday I left it on the car but empty and folded up while we drove 7 hours round trip for a college campus tour. We drove on rotten MN 2 lane country roads. Never even knew the rack was back...

Been There Been there; it the body that is insulating the signal; but for the most part it works reliable for me now that it's dialed in. The Wahoo App should work for your needs; at least from a testing stand point Buy a 20 pack of CR2032's from Amazon then are cheap. Make sure...

Why yes it Why yes it is the Giro Air Attack. I find it quiet good for the Silvio and the Vendetta: The helmet has a high back that doesn't contact the headrest, very comfortable. The helmet top is mostly closed keeping the sun off my balding head The airflow through the helmet is...

Its the superclamp Hi Robert, It's the FREEDOM SUPERCLAMP 4-BIKE, there is also a two bike version. I paid significantly less than the price listed on the Saris web site; the local bike shop is a dealer (so definitely don't pay the saris web-store price). I didn't get time to put the V on...

This past weekend I took the wife to her first group ride. We did the modet 52 miler in the lake district of Minneapolis. This was my daughter's 2nd time for this event; first time on her Quest. It's a good thing we didn't do one of the longer two rides because we sure spent a lot of time...

I like the blended cassette I I like the blended cassette I just tried. I was trying to cover both needs. I setup my 10 speed cassette custom on the vendetta: 11,12,13,14,15,16,19,22,25,28 Up through 16 it's an nice cadence cruising pack; and the 19-29 are the climbing range. One nice...

Seat Pad Matters too... I forgot to mention; we also switched out the seat pads to Ventisit ones; those are thinner 2cm or 3cm thick; that picks up some room in the cockpit; and compliments the shorter cranks nicely. The are a lot firmer; after 2-3 rides you don't notice and they soften up. I...

I don't believe I said.... I don't believe I said "old" at any point. Larry and Eric must just be sensitive . 50 is the age in the power meter test history. Perhaps we all just need to volunteer to be tested and give them better data. Middle age in this family is 55; I plan to water ski...
