    Shimano has patented a bicycle gearbox

    I was so impressed with what honda did with the rn01 that I trolled the internet for a few hours many weeks ago and found some pics... Honda were so secretive about their gearbox design that they dismantled the gearboxes from the bikes at the end of the day and they were put in a highly secured...

    Eyeware

    I didnt put the order in for skydiving goggles... instead I bought some draft excluder and stuck it to my lens. I tried it with the yellow lens and I've been out on it and its wonderful but rather bright in 26c. I have plenty left so I will do it for the other lenses. It's the first time I've...

    Question for the older riders

    I have to mix mountain biking in with the upright df and the vendetta as I get shoulder and neck pain if I do too much of the other riding. When riding the Vendetta; I seem to be constantly lifting my head to check my mirrors due to edge of glasses effecting the field of site. Mountain biking...

    Adding Patterson Transmission to Q45?

    Just been reading about Patterson's transmission box... just for $300. That's quite a bit of gear for 300. So I noticed @Robert Holler has one. Perhaps he can chime in. Is it heavy to use both in weight and gear selection? Does it ever need any maintenance and what type of gear selection...

    Eyeware

    Ok... I am investigating some skydiving goggles. Kroop's 13 Fives.... I am putting the order in tomorrow. I am getting too many bugs in my eyes due to the recent floods.

    Break the 60KM/HR record

    If you want to go faster put some fairings over the feet and pedals to slice through the air... there must be so much turbulence with a recumbent when pedalling that I am surprised no one has done it

    Absolute BLACK oval-sub-compact-chainrings

    I always found with the QXL rings that my chain would come off... friggin irritating. They are expensive too.

    Eyeware

    Emmm I use Smith & Wesson protector goggles. Brilliantly cheap and effective. You can buy them for $15 at your local gun store. I also use a ridiculously cheap chinese helmet that looks like the Giro Vanquish for $30 (including visor).

    Your Opinion Of The Ventist Seat Pad

    The deluxe ventisit pad has an extra layer of that x10 fabric. It is possible to take the inside out of the deluxe and have the pad less spongy . That's what I have done. In winter I swap it out with a thick rubber sponge so you feel the power immediately. Not sure which bike you ride. Most of...

    My First Trail Ride (an out of parking lot experience)

    Avoid at all cost. There used to be a vendetta rider with a long crushed stone driveway... it was such an irritation he decided to sell his Vendetta. You have to travel slowly and the bike becomes a little unstable... then you dont want to trash your cleat and beautiful shoes on the stones...

    Curved slider opinions

    I am 5'10. I have the long slider and straight boom , if I decide to revert back to the smaller chainstays then the curved slider will definetly be in the configuration. I like how aero it is but long hill climbs ... definitely go for shorter chainstays and curved slider.

    Love to get a Vendetta but?

    Hows it going @RBW1938 ? You might prefer to start with a cushion between your back and the seat. This raises the c of g and makes it stable. Wearing elbow pads might be an idea too; especially if you haven't ridden any other cruzbike before. Clip less pedals are good too. Get one foot clipped...

    Break the 60KM/HR record

    How about designing a magic with the drive chain on the other side and riding somewhere like Mexico city or Lake Titicaca? You might be able to chew the coca leaves going around the velodrome ?
