This topic has come up several times and I'm having minor frustrations with mounting full fenders on my QX100. I didn't want to thread jack so @billyk Can you post your experience and how to for mounting full fenders on the Q chassis? It looks like the fender attachment points have been...

@paco1961 Is there a "standard" width for distance from center line? Is there a way to extend them to test. Probably if there is @LarryOz has probably tried it?

@paco1961 "Clipped in I’m faster and climb better but way LESS stable." My experience says this is just a matter of time. I am now much more stable clipped in. "Also find it far more difficult to clip out on my S40 compared to DF." DF has all your weight as leverage, just set the pedal or...

From my experience with bikes in general and with putting my QX100 in and out of the van many times with and without front or rear wheels...Here are some of my tips for the beginner: Previously mentioned zip tie sounds like the most important for keeping things together for those with front...

Not many male sopranos left - you could make some extra cash. :eek:

I'm not sure how to interpret this observation: it seems similar to a comparison of me on my conversion kit (you on your V20) and me on my QX100. The conversion kit is higher - more like a high racer than the Q but other than that I'm not sure what that means. I would echo LarryOz observing...

Looks like the Civic in the background was purchased to match the Silvio. Good taste! :D

Tri (triathalon) shorts usually breathe really well and have minimal padding compared to standard cycling shorts. Alao, https://www.benditcycling.com/Recumbent_Shorts.html carry unpadded shorts. I've use an older model that I am very happy with. This could be what Larry has, very plain and...

My mind's eye says that if you were to sit reclined on this seat, then rotate it 90 degrees forward you would have a diamond frame stance which would put that bump on the seat equivalent to the nose of a diamond frame seat pointing down 30-60 degrees. That is, way better than a diamond frame in...

Thank you for a starting point.

Hi @chiefdan92 would you care to expand upon the bit of creative genius on the boom. It looks like it is holding a speedometer or something. Can you give a parts list and instructions for my curiousity and imitation purposes? I need something like that for my bike! And what are the straps...

Other than Why... Is that a video with you piloting? Do you have a picture of the bike? Before and after? Were the pauses and skips where flats were repaired, broken/taco'd wheels replaced, or air ambulance attendance?

Hi Tor, welcome to the Tribe. Love the northern attitude and pictures. My experience will not help with many things but for what it is worth. I'm going to write as though you have no experience with any of these items so that they may help a future inexperienced reader too: Fenders - If you...

Hi @onmyback, Welcome to the tribe! Here are some rambling thoughts that may help: I have a Marinoni touring bike that I switched over from mini-V brakes that were working poorly to mechanical discs and the difference was great enough that the mechanic at the bike store warned me to be...

And our queen. God Save the Queen! May her progeny have 1/10th the skill as monarch and 1/10th the wittiness of the above bantering wombats. Then there's hope for the world.

Ingenuity. It almost looks like the braze on location was chosen with that in mind!
