    Chain WAXing (yes it's that easy) - and other mysteries of this art!

    The 36T is about 5-13/16 inches but the plastic tray is about 5-1/8 inches at the narrow width with the tub itself not much wider. I'll try and angle it and rotate the bit that doesn't get covered through a few cycles and see if that works. What are the tub and tray dimensions of that cleaner...

    S40 transformed into F40?

    Yes it is a tilting trike with a unique design. Wim Schermer has one good photo and a few words about it from Spezi 2014. I think this is the most current design of what I've seen out there: http://wimschermer.blogspot.com/2014/04/spezie-2014.html This video is from France HPV and the most...

    S40 transformed into F40?

    Last time I chatted with Mosquito's Olivier and Nicolas was Jan 1-3, 2016 via email. They had reached the point where they were offering sales but I haven't seen or heard anything since so I don't know how they are doing. During that email I noted the web site didn't seem to have any updates...

    T50 - whatcha planning to build.....

    I suspect most will find themselves feeling pretty comfortable zipping along after about a half hour to 45 minutes or less.

    Vendetta for the Clydesdale

    I'm in Brighton, MI with a Vendetta 2.0, a Strada velomobile, and two T50s on their way. I'm short and stout (5'-7" and 205lbs) so my V isn't rigged for someone your size but you're welcome to check it out sometime. You are not far from the Race Across America Time Stations (TSs) where Team...

    S40 transformed into F40?

    Of course there is also the possibility of something more like the Mosquito velomobile with a much lighter shell: Some of Jim Gerwing's aero experiments with his Vendetta were moving closer to this kind of idea. http://cruzbike.com/forum/threads/amateur-aerodynamics.6239/page-8#post-30626 -Eric

    S40 transformed into F40?

    As Dr. Plager states above, most velomobiles are mucho heavier than an F40 which results in a lot more uphill effort. I own and ride a velomobile and a Vendetta. My orange Strada velomobile with water bottles and gear is probably around 75+ pounds plus my 200+ pound carcass. My Vendetta is...

    T50 - Everyone likes a bike you can kick start

    I asked Lucia to configure the TWO Basic Unassembled - Early Bird when I discovered pledging for one didn't let you go back and pledge for another. If you did that and want to pledge for two - there is also a two frame package option now, you can click manage your pledge, then click cancel and...

    Kristy Halvorsen has a Facebook post of one of her videos at the Frostproof turn around for the lead pack coming up to the poker chip barrel. I also shared her post on my Facebook page. It looks like Larry might have been in too high of a gear starting back up after dropping his chip off and...

    From my measly 165 miles in 2014: Elevation: + 7338 / - 7358 ft Roads then were mostly pretty good with a few spots with some really bad pot holes but these were on the long loop. The night time loop is all really good from when I last did it. Intersection are floodlit with police giving...
