Every fing thread that involves cruzbikes turns into poo on BROL. The low point is the "I don't believe your powermeter" standard now on the 100 mile thread. And when that became indefensible, the poster decided that some random testing on a trainer with a power meter and a poorly outlined...

I love how it is understood that MBB bikes can be ridden with no-hands unlike other recumbents but simultaneously they are horribly unstable and need to be muscled into submission using upper body and the slightest moment of inattention or low energy will spell disaster.

So I organized a Puget Sound Recumbent ride for today. We did an out and back of 27miles. 7 people showed up who don't melt in the rain. On the way back it was myself and Craig on his new Encore. We talked a lot about bike fit and issues. I was noticing issues with my lack of headrest on a...

Built a paintball gun into the boom of your Vendetta ;-)

I plan on binding two fiberglass tent poles together and inserting the open ends in the headrest mount holes of the frame. I want to keep the bag from hitting the seat when overloaded. I will start with electrical tape to bind the poles to the bag but eventually I will sew sleeves on the aero...

I am on the fence vs tubeless and conti gp 4000 IIs with latex tubes. I just don't know enough, I am going to try the latex tubes first since it has lower incremental cost for me but so curious about tubeless.

I change my Vendetta setup. I removed the Terracycle bag, moved the pump to the frame and the tools/tubes into the aero bag. I also installed a water bottle cage on the boom near the handlebars and moved my light to the boom using a helmet light mount. The cygolite that I ended up with due to...

I have a few recumbent facebook friends in Seoul, South Korea. They all wear the masks. It is nice to see an explanation. There are few guys on Optima Barons in Seoul and an assortment of other random SWB recumbents, trikes and deltas from the pictures I have seen.

someone asked about my stand. This is the stand I use: http://www.amazon.com/Feedback-Sports-Elite-Repair-Stand/dp/B001CSPTSC/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1444684435&sr=8-1&keywords=pro+elite+bike+stand Feedback Sports Elite Repair stand. I used to be called the Ultimate Pro Elite stand.

I am still on the fence. I want to put in some longer rides before I say yay or nay. I do like the additional mounting space for lights and other stuff so I may do it just for that.

Wow. That is impressive. Nice work on the sub-4 hour century.

Note, we should find Seemark's account and see if we can reset it somehow. I PM'd him on BROL.

I know there is a recumbent group in Seoul. Your bike is beautiful and I really like it.

I would buy a system like that in a heartbeat.

My raptobike is wonderful. The main downside is throwing the chain on occasion and the idler is near my right inner thigh and I get grease transfer. I still have a grease stain there since many of my bib shorts are contaminated with it and I get transfer. It is more Aerodynamic than my...

I am just going to add this to the office parking thread since this is where I decided to put my Vixen: Vixen at the office by Duncan Watson, on Flickr

Thanks for the support. In the end the best reward is my awesome Vendetta. It has been a while and I feel very good on it. I managed a start on a 5% hill, I can start in the big ring up front now as well. All I really need are miles and smiles. I did spill on my afternoon commute due to a...

The river trail was foggy and so the light was being thrown directly back into the camera. I looked from a different angle by sitting up which worked well. I am considering a new location for my light to reduce that effect.

I have been considering one of those. BTW I made a commute video, it is not very good but I am getting the VIRB all setup now.
