I decided to switch to a Ventisit pad for my V20, but didn't know if the 2 inch Classic or 3 inch Comfort pad would be better for me. Of course, there's only one way to find out for sure. So I ordered the Classic pad through Ventisit. The fit, ventilation, and comfort is really impressive. I...

Hi, it's Craig. I started this thread back in October. It's interesting to see it come back up. I ended up having to take seven months off from pretty much everything. It hurt to lift a coffee cup or turn a doorknob. Arm braces, slings, physical therapy, and a lot of rest--the works. Part...

Thanks, everyone, for the good advice. Much of it echoes what I have been thinking, but it's good to compare notes with those who have more experience. I ride drops, not bullhorns. I think I will pull the bars in a bit to encourage more of a push instead of a pull against the bar, with the...

Hi all, I have a year and 4500 miles on my V 2.0. My elbows began to hurt a little over a month ago, and I have recently been diagnosed with lateral epicondylitis, commonly called "tennis elbow." It is a condition that occurs through overuse combined with weakened forearm muscles and leads to...

I'll keep an eye out for you. Yeah, it can get a little lonely out there riding recumbent, compared to years of being in a pack of DF riders. But maybe over time this particular tribe will grow here, one rider at a time.

Picking up a Quest this Sunday I found a used Quest up near Yreka (okay, Grants Pass, but he's meeting me in Yreka on Sunday).. I think it'll suit the round town riding nicely. Thanks for the input, Bob. Hey Rick, I can't do the Wildflower this year because of a scheduling conflict, but...

I now agree Thanks for the perspective, Charles. I've come to a similar conclusion over the past couple days, partly through the above thread. Only someone with more money than they know what to do with would buy a Porsche for a daily driver while he takes his Ferrari out only on Sundays...

Worth more than $0.02 Hi John, Thanks for the comparison. Just got back from a ride on the V. What a blast. The bike seemed to be saying, "You got everything you need right here." Feeling more settled. Happy riding.

That's an idea Thanks for the suggestion, Larry. I think I've seen what Rick did. Perhaps I'll go back and look again.

I'm not sure what it is, which is partly why I'm asking I think I'm mainly satisfying a fairly idle curiosity. Rick mostly confirmed what I figured--that the Silvio, with its suspension, sits high enough compared to the V to make starts and stops an issue for my short legs (I had to make...

Hi, I'm new to the forum, after lurking for a while. I have about 2500 miles on my Vendetta 2.0, my first recumbent after 27 years on a DF. I love it! Now the little reptilian part of my brain responsible for bike lust is wondering about the Silvio, not as a replacement for the...
