I have not had much time with the new shoes, although I did not notice any problems. Mostly because I have been fighting a really sore spot on my big left toe and I did not want "add" something else to the mix. Right now I am just praying my toe will be OK for Sebring. I will bring the shoes for...

Here is also a reverse angle VIRB video showing me riding with them. Camera on end of boom pointing up to me. https://www.youtube.com/edit?o=U&video_id=IzaVRoaUTm4

Most do not prefer having so little "leverage" with their arms, but I ride with what I call my "stubby" handlebar. It is only wide enough for my hands to cover. I believe it is pretty aero.

Great looking S40 Kenneth. Every kitchen should have one! :)

pretty funny video! I think I will keep riding in my garage on my trainer

Bill, From what I could see there were about 14 of them that just stayed in a tight paceline the entire time. :) Yeah, I was working pretty hard too - avg pulse of 163 for 2 1/2 hours. Gary, I was riding the yellow RAAM vendetta with my stubby bars.

Here's the video I shot off the front of my Vendetta: Enjoy!

For me and from testing the wider the hip angle the more power can be made. Same athlete, same fitness. (I did a ton of testing between a V20 and S30). I ride an V20 now. Put me on an S40 and I will generate more power with same effort. Probably about 50watts. Great for going up hills faster...

Your motorcycle!

It has been my experience that either too much knee bend on the back stoke (need shorter cranks), or you foot is turned too much in or out at the pedals (power pedals will report that angle) are the leading cause of knee pain. Oh yeah - then there is just pedaling too darn slow "all the time" -...

That is the way I see it and have tested it. That is why you can make more power easier on a Silvio compared to a Vendetta (at least I can). Of course you do not have the aero.

I rode 9 laps of the pretty twisty curvy course in just under 2 hours 30 minutes. It was mid 50's F, totally overcast and some pretty good wind and gusts too. (Made riding full discs full of excitement at times) :eek: There were about 120 people riding so really tight in some places. (They...

They are great tires - just get some tubeless rims, then you will be almost flat proof - they are worth it in my book!

Dido: only put tubeless tires on tubeless rims - if you do, just do not exceed 8mph when riding.

I have tested various crank lengths from 90mm to 160 based on my 29" inseam and being about 5'7" The 4 key factors for me are: Less knee bend during the back-stoke: knee bend greater than 90 degrees causes me knee pain, plus when your knee is bent father than 90 degrees you are unable to make...

Yeah - get ready, that is what another 30 years does to you body! .. and it won't feel like 30 years either.:eek: so... when you wake up one day and all of a sudden you are 58 - you can remember this conversation - and then go and do your intervals. I'll be 88 and still doing mine - we can...

Great bike - a cobalt blue and white shirt would look great with it.:D:p:D

Thanks Ken, that was me averaging 207 watts for 2:10 - It was just Swift riding - chasing people helps keep the pressure a little higher. Wattage all over the place - good steady state riding - but nothing structured. Here was a fun workout at did Monday after I did 1-hr "Moosilaukee" TR @...

Kyle has the perfect setup. He lives in Florida, so basically flat. He can ride all year round chasing KOM's. Go for it Jon - Looks like a 2 man race at this point.

Everyone who wants to be tallied in my monthly Cruzbike KOM totals for the contest, please reply back to this thread so I can include you. So far I see Kyle = 11, Jon = 7, Larry = 0, Jason =1, Ratz = 0, Tanya = 0 , Maria = 1 , Jim = 0, Alvin = 0 Thanks,
