    V20 front tire suddenly lost pressure and I crashed.

    Ditto the Larry suggestion. Some sealant is better than others. Always replace your sealant every six months. I have found the standard orange sealant is best. If you get a continental tubeless tyre it will probably be a pig to put on but its also a pig to come off. I have a tubeless front and...

    Threadbare

    I had a tinker tonight. The surface of the foam rubber that I have on the carbon seat has friction abraising so I removed maybe 8mm of hard foam from the lumbar area. I am hoping for a ride tomorrow. I don't know why I never thought of it before. Maybe I have a better understanding of what's...

    Threadbare

    Hi, I noticed over a long period of time that after riding my V20 for many months that my shorts are wearing out at the small of my back; lumbar region. First of all does this show that I have a correct resting posture on the seat? I am not using the Thor seat, just the standard carbon seat that...

    That's very interesting as GearCalculator doesn't even give you the option of 145 cranks! I also suffer terribly with yo yo weight. In the winter I gain a few kilos and I have to do zone 2 for a couple of months before my body calibrates to known and loved gear ratios in order to get up long...

    CRASH on my new V20c

    Very sorry for your loss. Labridors' are some of the most friendliest dogs. I wonder if there is some ultrasonic dog repeller one could use?

    CRASH on my new V20c

    Very sorry to read that. I hope you are on the mend. I remember a few months back I had a snarling medium to large dog after me but I had a start on him and he gave up luckily

    I haven't taken a good look at the scientific paper that says 145 is the best power sized crank. The best way of pedalling a bike is by applying force on the downstroke but in order to get those power numbers for the 145... they must be healing the peddle stroke?

    Mine would probably get a hack but she rolls!

    Emmm Hank looked as though he was passing a number of rear disc wheel upright bikes and he wasn't even using one. He had incredible courage. Even clipped in on his first bike trial. Amazing. And being held for a stop start. That is not easy ... I assume there weren't any up takes... I would...

    My Very First Recumbent is a V20

    Sorry about the tyre levers. The good thing is ... it will have difficulty in coming off so you will have traction with a puncture. I did that with my last tyre... I'm thinking of trying a gp5000 30mm next. The psi tubeless shouldn't be so high so it might hold the pressure better and might be...

    XShifter and NXSWireless

    I have a stretch of road where I am determined it hit 50 kph and sustain it for a duration... the xshifter still causes turbulence even being behind the boom so it would be better to be able to hide it. I can get to 45kph with the monocote disc wheel. I have a 3d tail box project in the...

    XShifter and NXSWireless

    I never got a reply from Paul so I bet he lost his shirt on the venture. He put absolutely everything into it. 20 hour days ... just to have it flop. I think its a well cool idea. I have been thinking of putting my xshifter into the boom but then there are two issues; how do you charge the...

    The great thing about you Larry is that you have very good Watt to volume ratio. Less drag is such a pleasure and even more so in the wind. You were putting out great power numbers as you weren't drafting... unlike them.

    I think we just experienced a miracle. God knows Larry loves to ride and He helped him on a bit.
