It is very much well worth It is very much well worth the watch everyone. It is for a GREAT cause! Robert

Being very tense makes any Being very tense makes any bike (and particularly recumbents) difficult to ride. A big key is to relax and trust that after you are rolling a bit the bike will want to stay upright. I taught my daughter recently at the Portland Human Power Challenge to ride a Q26...

I will echo Ashtabula's I will echo Ashtabula's comments. Running super tight tire clearances can be a hazard. I have never experienced a wheel rotation halt but I have seen some pretty demolished tires from debris getting caught. I apply this to doing fender installs as well. Robert

Epic!!!! Those are some great Epic!!!! Those are some great photos.

That looks like something you That looks like something you would see in Portland for sure.

Good post by ratz. That cost Good post by ratz. That cost estimate is good, and would yield a VERY nice setup. At a given budget amount you are then only paying for (less) weight - literally counting grams - and start to pass the point of diminishing returns (my opinion of course)... Wheel...

Sincere condolences as well. Sincere condolences as well. The legacy of the 3000 miles to a cure organization will keep her memory present always and keep fighting the good fight. Robert

Doug, Awesome - thank you for Doug, Awesome - thank you for the recommendation! That looks like the ticket right there! Robert

Anyone know if the Saris Themla rack will hold a Vendetta? Is the wheelbase adjustable on that rack? I believe I read that it will fit a Silvio, but there the wheelbase is shorter... Looking for a quality hitch rack that will haul a V and an S. Not interested in a Hollywood rack - I...

This is going to be different This is going to be different for everyone and also depend on your determination. Some people throw up their hands after a few tries of anything new, don't change up technique when something is not working, etc etc. Others have resolve and envision success - they...

Yes indeed! Yes indeed!

Now that's a nice looking Now that's a nice looking garage.

Andrew is correct - and if Andrew is correct - and if the seat is not going to be removed the knobs can be replaced with nylock nuts. The knobs under the seat base are ones to check every handful of rides as well to make sure they are snug. Robert :)

Oh my..... Oh my..... ;-)

It is a good idea to do a It is a good idea to do a check over of the bike just about every ride, and a more thorough check (on your own mainly) at that interval. No tools needed for most stuff - but always just a look over of brakes/headset/look for loose or missing bolts/etc. Bikes are...

The 20" Q is a great bike. The 20" Q is a great bike. There is a lot that can be done with it. I have a Downtube folder frame hanging in my shop that "may" get a conversion, but I do not see a need. The Q is a tested design and works great as a daily rider! Robert

"Excellent...." Spread the "Excellent...." Spread the word and get a few more there soon! ;-) Robert

The Q rings in particular are The Q rings in particular are very adjustable. I have ran them on my Cruzbike as well as several high racers, 26/20 configurations, and trikes as well. All good and they work great! Robert

Great looking bag!Unless you Great looking bag! Great looking bag! On one that high be sure to not overload it too heavy unless it is nice and solid side to side. That bag though looks good for the usual lightweight items like a jacket, leg warmers, etc. Robert

I would also second the idea I would also second the idea of giving the stock handlebars a shot first. It takes a while and some miles to really dial in the comfort and fine tuning and getting used to the bike as designed can yield great results. The set-up is rather dialed in as it is...
