    FWD recumbent trikes?

    yes a long chain is problematic but they do last 10,000klm and are pretty light. i find it very interesting that i have now 5000klm on my v chain and still good. i guess being up and out of the way keeps it cleaner lasting longer better faster..... :)

    Trek Releases new bike that can keep up with the V20

    i dont know about cda all i know is time taken. i can say that a few of my cycling buddies over here downunda have very expensive top of the line TT bikes and are two race grades above me locally. even riding in a t-shirt /baggy shorts and training wheels pushing a metered 220 watts at local...

    FWD recumbent trikes?

    Vendetta finally tested

    yes as per ratz aero bottle cages work well and will make you .0001% faster . now i can remove my seat pan to get to the frame held spare tyre tubes without touching the paint work with the bottle cage. i do no longer use the location bolts on the seat pan.

    Holland Hundred 2015-07-18

    maltodextrin exists as various short to long chains with short chain simple being the sweetest in taste. long chain complex such as that found in "hammer's perpetuem" burns far longer as a complex sugar and is easily digestable without the massive hit bounce bonk cycle. you can to some degree...

    The "Learning to ride a Vendetta" diary

    wow you are a natural Tor. i would let the headrest out so that the pad touches the base of your skull as you recline. then by letting it out incrementally your head will be brought more vertical so you are not looking up at the sky. this does however cause your neck to bend more so it is a...

    My Vendetta adventure

    hi rat rider check your alloy dropout is not bent. you should have a spare cruzbike include a spare with frameset. they are made to bend break before you damage your rear mech. i think you might find that if everything was straight before you changed the front tyre then all it will be is an...
