Great writeup and great suggestions from all on the light mount and also the shock. :-) Robert

I just use a standard Park Tool PC9 - just clamp around the boom or slider and let the back end hang down below the front a bit. Works perfect.

Correct. The stock wheel on the complete is 135.

Whenever I have added on the pounds I just consider it more of a bonus for my land missile downhill speeds. Hahaha

This is true for the 2019. There is a slight fork crown change on the 2020 that reduces the clearance a bit there for a 30c or 32c (depending on rims/tire brand) for the front fork. This change however possibly allows for a caliper brake to be used (haven't tried that) and this is the best...

He. Has. Returned.

Its like learning a good musical instrument - practice, attention to the details, and getting it to fit right end up paying huge dividends - and when you master it - it is amazing. Keep up the good work!

Very nice!

A big thing with the 11 speeds and these systems everyone should know - the real problems happen when you start to go way outside the norm of the stated ranges for the cassettes, etc. For a long time recumbent riders have been able to get away with gearing combos that - in reality - didn't make...

Please be aware - the rear stays of a Vendetta or V20 are already very very light and thin. They are not technically designed to be clamped on or have weight added to them in this way, so if you do this type of mod be very careful.

I would say the 2x11 is doable in whatever brand - but just can be extremely finicky. No experience personally with 2x12 and I don't really see the point or benefit of that. The chains are so narrow and cogs so close - this is the main reason the indexing is so hard. If I could run all these...

My professional opinion as a bike mechanic: If you go with 2x11 prepare yourself for a world of hassle getting the shifting right. As someone who likes to ride and not mess constantly with annoying adjustments (because that's all I do all day on other bikes) I would never install a 2x11 on ANY...

The SN's do not give any clue to production year - they are 1000% random and because they are on the booms pretty pointless IMHO. The QX100 was an update to the original Quest and the years as stated above are accurate though in 2018 the Q45 (update to the QX100) was in effect and QX100's at...

That would be pretty close I think for numbers.

Hey all, My experience with "light" recumbents are that they aren't all that and a bag of chips - sadly most are flexy fliers and worse than their stiffer and heavier counterparts. There does seem to be a minimum weight you can realistically make a recumbent and still actually make it for an...

Q: By chance will this new seat attachment system make the mounting of a Thor seat easier? A: Not necessarily. Maybe? Someone will have to experiment I suppose. It is not intended for that purpose necessarily. This is primarily a production/manufacturing change, allowing for the seat to be...

Stay tuned... I will say that major things are not changing - so, geometry, etc is all the same. Further announcements will be coming sooooon. :-)

So these race organizer clowns would discriminate against a fast disabled hand cyclist then for the same reasons? Discrimination and elitism at work, folks.

Why not just show up and ride along as a non-signed up rider? Is this on public roads?

Pictures and videos are steadily getting uploaded to the google photo album, which I am sure will get shared here once it is all put together. In short - once again an EPIC time and as always I love meeting new people and seeing familiar faces again. It is always an honor to be around everyone...
