Too far back and boom too short Incase anyone is looking at those picture and figuring out the ergos. It looks like that the boom is too short, (perhaps too far back after it's lengthened) AND your are touch too far back on the seat. I be curious how far back other sit; we definitely are...

Mooohahahaha I'm going to dress up as father time riding a rusty bike to Eric's house for Halloween..... :) I got that rusty Quest V1 maybe I should let it get good and nasty. Faster and Farther probably no doubt; what's this training you speak of? I ride so I can eat Ben and Jerry's...

How did ... How did I miss that one; I have a the 2nd edition of his training guide, dead tree version. How's that one eric; easy to read?

Well by data, something that Well by data, something that shows how they work for a given riding on the platform. Compared to round. They claim "Studies have found that the Q-Rings provide a 3% increase in max wattage, a lower heart rate of 3-4 bpm, and ultimately a 9% decrease in Lactic...

Those cranks look like the Those cranks look like the handy work Mark over at BikeSmith, but I don't remember him doing Carbon mods for SRAM. He lives in my area I'll have to ask him the next time I see him. This article is old but has a lot of good references in it...

I looked at ti I've watched the newton for a while. It needs un-obstructed air; just really no place on the Vendetta and Silvio or any other recumbent for that matter that seemed like a good place to mount it even with the remote sensor. Being a math nerd I think it's a cool product; but not...

Use..... Ok for a head unit recording program I'm partial to Wahoo's Fitness App. It supports just about every sensor on the market; and it uploads to all the major services. That gets you service agnostic setup. Cyclemeter is better but there are millions of settings in that program; fiddle...

Numbers are coming Snilard, I'm gathering them; I only have a single power meter which is now on the Vendetta. I'm pretty comfortable on the bike now and will be running may of the same routes I run the Silvio on. When Strava's say I set a new record on a section I go and compare the...

Removing the wheel.... I think I need to go back to the front wheel thread. I learned something on the Vendetta. On the V the front assembly stays together much much better than the Silvio. I think the it falls apart in your hand very easily is much more a Silvio problem than a vendetta...

Steve, That's awesome. I Steve, That's awesome. I figured it would be about 4lbs. I was originally thinking that modification would use the silvio carbon chainstay. I wasn't sure the Vendetta chainstay would fit. I think you just breathed new life into the used V1 market. After a few...

Jeremy, I'm guessing the Jeremy, I'm guessing the weight is from a couple of things. (1) swapping the wheels; I took the good wheels of the Silvio and put them on Mrs Ratz's Silvio; that was always the plan after I found out if she liked the bike. So I have her low end wheels on my Silvio...

How the heck.... Ok How the heck Did you get the Force 22 aligned to do a 53/34 on the front? I barely got Mrs Ratz 50/34 to work on the Silvio braze-on. Did you bore our the braze-on? Obviously you'll get rub on the big ring if you try and use the 34T with the 15,14,13 positions; but still...

Compact Double; 52/36 and Compact Double; 52/36 and 11-28T on the back with the 17T removed and replaced with a 16T. We are all short-steep hills around here; either we are running on the flat or climbing less that 0.5 miles. I'm happier with that so far than a 11-26T; but honestly I could be...

Let the fun begin; I'm starting to log miles on both bikes on similar routes and it's fun to see the differences. Suddenly the Silvio is a decidedly relaxed ride. I can jump on it and go; and I don't feel like I'm laying down at all. I get on the Vendetta and the bike just wants to run...

Hmmmm Hmmmmm http://www.bentrideronline.com/messageboard/showthread.php?t=110047 Rick, I'll gladly take the the blame. Now I just need to figure out how to get on commission.

I'm going to have to give the I'm going to have to give the wife my Credit Cards until I forget this post exists...... Nicely done

Indeed Lief we will ply it out of him with Food; and Beverages. Rick now that sounds like a fine idea. A V2 for your aero wheels, then you would have a proper bike to ride on alternating days. Besides with the Meta Carbon shipping you don't want that aluminum meta in your garage plummeting...

Good weather for it Gary, yes we are a go Mrs Ratz has green lighted social hour and approved bike conversation. Looks to be a beautiful night for the roof top restaurant. check you brol messages.

Know your rim (wheel width 101) Iow good observation. Yes they do very; depends on how wide you rim is; If it's 15-17 mm inside width the tire will be taller than if the rim is 17-19mm inside width. I tinkered with the combinations this winter with some tires and wheels I had on hand. I...

Looking good Gary, What's Looking good Gary, What's that bag under the seat; seems to fit really nicely. For the water bottle on the boom the Giant Airway Aero works great. It's expensive because of the carbon cage; but on par with other carbon offerings. I didn't think twice about getting...
