You can buy Kalenji running shorts from Decathlon for about 34 euros. So good they are my second pair. They have lasted me 18 months and the ventisit seat pad eventually wears any fabric out. I don't like using chamois bib shorts on the Cruzbike. You get plenty of wind blasting your vitals so be...

Fine tuning the V is an education. Can't go far wrong with 700/28c (compass chinook pass are very good on rough roads) at 90psi with a comfort ventisit seat pad. I have found the stock headrest is very good with a shortened inner tube. If you cycle with others they will always seem slow. That's...

Peanut butter cups I can grasp at 50g a day. I have put myself on this diet too as I read the book Jim recommended and Atkins worked for me in the past. My doctor told me it wasn't so much of a good idea so that's why I gave up Atkins but now seeing the reversal of nutritionists judgement on...

I can not see a blade of grass moving in the wind. Perfect!

I still think about them so they must be cool

haaaa haaaa :D:D:D

Why risky?

Some of us start with a steering dampener that's attached to the handlebars and frame and it's elasticity reduces the amount of twist of the handlebar. So far I haven't fallen off the V but I did fall off a Cruzbike conversion kit I bolted onto a mountain bike. I freaked out with a great big...

Instead of going out and buying a new chain I thought of replacing the fraying front gear cable. It's a little cheaper and move the limiting nut and apply more tension. Let's see what happens when I am out next time. It's what Bob says... A chain should last 8000 miles. Well I don't think I am...

I can see your aero drag is more than mine... What is that bag you have underneath the seat? I am looking for a bigger bag :D I also can't see any magnets on your spokes or rims.... How do you know if you are breaking the speed limit?

That would be great. That guardian article was very good. Thanks

I saw this on the BBC News App and thought you should see it: How graphene could make tyres stronger and lighter Why adding graphene to bicycle tyres makes them stronger and lighter with more grip Bicycle tyre manufacturer Vittoria has added graphene to its tyres to improve their puncture...

Sometimes the Thread Title doesn't come naturally. The ride was the first real ride where I was pushing it after a knee injury after 3.5 weeks. I have now changed my training routine and diet. Recovery rides every other ride which includes stretches. I physically stop the bike, get off and...

Vehicles are annoying. Drivers love to rubber neck when they see something unusual and the Cruzbike is certainly that, especially the Silvio or the Vendetta. Sometimes you have to slow down to force those slow drivers to overtake you o_O

Give her respect and she will serve you well

I can't find any ride reports. I don't want to pass on a lemon that could cause someone to lose their teeth. So I am not going for it. The Vendetta will always be my favorite. If things go wrong with the V you can at least barrel roll out of the cockpit with some degree of dignity and...

It looks like a bargain... they are selling like hot cakes. Now the $2k orders are filled and the $2099 orders are filling up. But still I am resistant. Why the heck do I need one? I have three bikes already... And then if you get a very fast car with not so good brakes then there are issues...

The leopard pro is ultegra di2 with a different type of braking system

Whenever friends come to cycle with me... they are always too slow for the Vendetta so more often or not I am going out on a heavy mountain bike or road bike doing a recovery ride. I always ride the Vendetta fast... it just wants to go. At the end of the ride... sure I am dripping but I have a...

Ok... guess some of you still have the odd DF in the garage. There is a drop dead gorgeous DF on kickstarter from speedx called the Leopard Pro. I just love the idea of doing a big climb on a light bike. The idea too of packing a light bike into a compact carbon suitcase and travelling around...
