I think you will be more aero if you adjust your chainstay to keep your knees at their top no higher than your shoulders. Putting a 650 wheel on the back may also help you some. :)

Finally here is my complete 4-hour video of the entire race. Play it in front of your trainer and ride Sebring with us! Just finishing up my written report. Hope to be done today. Enjoy:

I am just riding the stock V20 seat. I have a lumbar piece in it but that should not affect my seat angle. I think Kyle is also riding stock seat, but because he is taller, his head is up higher due to headrest going higher. Although it does look like his chest is at a steeper angle than mine. I...

Great write up Kyle. You are "The Man" I'm still working on mine and also trying to edit 4 hours of video footage! Hopefully ready in a day or two! Hope to see Jesse's perspective also. :)

I thought about it while we were riding, but the moment passed quickly in the heat of event. He is on strava though I think. It would be an interesting comparison. We have to get Jason along with Kevin and Alvin here next year. I think we could take a serious shot at breaking 4 hours. It would...

I think Kyle beat me there too. :( I think his max HR was 186 - Mine was only 183. :rolleyes:

That is the coolest picture I have seen - OK - well maybe 2nd coolest - The sprint at the line was the coolest! JL Perez is also a very tall guy. Get someone 5'7 on a small frame TT bike with 650 wheels and they might be almost as low as a recumbent!

Yeah - bugs flying in at 30mph (or any speed come to think of it!) - not my cup of tea!

Oh yeah - and here is a brief 30 second clip of the scariest part of the race to me during the 3rd lap on the racetrack in the fog! I have a full video of the entire race I am processing now. Will post when done

Here is a 2 second video showing Kyle and I going at it for the photo finish. What fun!!! - and way to go Kyle for the win. If I have to lose, it better has to be to someone on a Cruzbike! haha

GREAT job Ken - You did it!!! Show us the hardware!!!!:):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):)

At the award ceremony they commented that their photo finish showed Kyle won by a tire width. I messed up a little too, as I thought the line was about 20 feet back where the cones started and "timer" was place, so I raced to that line and turned off the gas at that point and Kyle was probably...

Results: Here is a link showing the final 2 seconds of the Century. Do not blink when you are watching it!

To me that means, not have to stop. I envision a mini-hydralic type of lifter kind of like in an office chair. A little lever you pull would allow the seat to raise; the amount based on how much pressure you exert with your back. To lower it all the way back down, left the lever and push with...

I have 2 other SRAM etap systems - this was a third backup - and I need the money to but a new set of wheels! I just measured all the cable lengths and bought what was needed. No trial and error really. It took a couple hours to do the initial "internal" setup, but drilling a couple small holes...

Thanks for correcting me. To repeat in Bold 2018 dates are: October 11-14, 2018

Time to go electronic with you Cruzbike - Complete Di2 shifting system and Garmin (l/r) power meter pedals.. Complete Shimano Ultegra 6870 11s Di2 Electronic Upgrade Kit-- Electronic Front Derailleur (Braze On) - Electronic Rear Derailleur: GS - Electronic Shift Levers - Internal Wires - Seat...

I live near Asheville, NC. I live 10 minutes from the airport. If you can get here, I will take care of the rest! I suspect your version of the MBB will be a better climber than my Vendetta. Primarily due to the lower BB and higher seat. The perfect recumbent would have a way to move the BB from...

Yup, if the boom length changes at all, you have to loosen the cable and re-adjust. That is why I love the Di2 or SRAM electronic shifting.

Thanks for your explanation Marko - I understand what you are doing now, and I hope you did not think I was being to critical. You're bicycle builds and tests are fantastic and great for everyone! Keep up the good work. Hopefully someday we can meet up and do some testing together! :D
