Where are you getting this data? How can I sandbag if my FTP is only 122?

OK - I've got my weight down to 55KG now, and my FTP to about 260'sh, so I'll start out with some cat4 races and see where I go from there! :eek::D:D:D:D See you on "The Island" - Look for "George of the Jungle". Of course I ride when most of you sleep, so maybe only Ratz will run into me (since...

Scott - You can buy "larger" o-rings on line very inexpensively. I also drilled a small hole in the handle and the Garmin mount and with a small screw attached it like that. Both work well for me

This layout looks awesome! I might see if I can get a part time job at Michelin just so I could ride this when I want!

Wow - this looks nice and is only an hour away from me. I am not in great shape to ride a Century, but a metric Century should be easily do-able in under 3 hours. Hardy, how far are you guys from here? Any other Cruzbikers nearby?

I think I remember that Marko was able to hold 250-260watts for the first 12-hour in 2016, but not through the entire 24-hour period. Still incredible! I am trying to talk him into trying out a Cruzbike - it would be interesting to see what he could do with it. I can go close to 30mph on that...

Bars - what are those? I thought you were supposed to be doing other things with you hands like typing on your keyboard or texting someone. After all, you are on a trainer, so you do not have to balance!

Great write-up Kyle. Wow all those strategies. I am tired just thinking about it. You may be right about Alvin - haha. But hey - one good strategy would be to ride all your KOMS and never upload until the day before the deadline - then they are never in the cloud for anyone else to see accept...

Awesome video. I will have to share it with Alvin Maxwell. He is rather new to Cruzbike and lives in Washington NC. I do not know how many KOM's he owns, but he defends them religiously! He has been known to head out on a segment at midnight just to take it back. He will even ride it twice: Once...

This is an official release from Lucia at Cruzbike - and she asked me to post it on the forum -------------------------------------------------------------------- The Cruzbike Strava KOM/QOM* Competition Maria threw down the gauntlet at the 2017 Cruzbike Ride Retreat in White Lake, promising a...

Thanks for the write-up Marco - Look forward to more of your reports and testing.

Kind of feels like it, huh? I missed that day this year! :)

I saw that too when I did it. You have lots of different emails you can register under, so you might be able to do 20-30 times! Does that mean the "old" way that you described earlier in the post is no longer available?

This should be a very easy adjustment. The FD is no different in adjustment than any other FD on any other recumbent or upright bike for that matter. I am pretty sure Ratz probably meant pulling on the handlebars and rocking the BB back and forth slightly, that is the way you can use your upper...

OK - Here are my new Lintamen shoes. They have a sliding plate that allows you to move your cleat down to the mid-sole position. I am giving them a try today. My good and well known recumbent and ultra legend Kent Polk swears by this mid-sole position. Says you will never get hot-foot "and"...

I am heavier now and weaker too, so I probably would not make a good impression. My Wt/Kg is only 3,5 right now. :( Jason is "peaking", I am "weaking"! :D I need to loose 20 lbs and gain 50 watts by Sebring! :eek: (seems like a fair trade don't you think?) I'll still try and get on Zwift...

If you want to be faster, you need to hang out with the fasters guys and do what they do!

I'm just eating donuts laced with protein (to gain weight and power) and waiting to see what everyone else does!

I think wind conditions will affect the result greatly as evidenced by average speed and the wattage it takes to maintain that speed around a track with zero wind compared to a windy day. You always loose speed with windy conditions.

Yes - but properly calibrated for correct crank length before each test. That is from the stock frame, stock front end, curved slider. Only the Chicago Century numbers are using the Prototype - I had the stubby bars on it too. The other "interesting" and rather "unmeasurable" item with the...
