Way to go Doug - I'll be there, but will be defending my Century Title, so no 12 or 24 for me. I know you will do great and look forward to seeing you again. As far as a death grip goes with you hands. What has helped me was to just keep ever so slightly less and less "grip" on the bars. Try...

Just for fun, I stuck the Arrowhead's 650 wheel on the back of the Vendetta, so lighter and a little lower seat angle. My speed actually dropped by about 1/2 mph.

Morciglio Arrowhead testing results This Morciglio Arrowhead is a custom made CF-RWD recumbent made by John Morciglio. This was his personal bike and I purchased it directly from him. To the best of my knowledge, he has not made another one of these yet, so another one-of-a-kind for now...

I think I have the seat "tilted" back to the lowest position with the existing holes. I'll have another look at it, and since I need to swap out the cranks, hopefully I can make the seat a little more reclined.

I think this is because you can "pull down and then back" with your extended foot quicker and with much more power when your toes are pointed up than with your toes pointed. The caveat is also that you must have the correct crank length to make sure your legs are not over-extended during the...

I'm not taking my bike with me: Robert said he has this he could loan me (must be an experimental version! ) haha Seriously there doesn't need to be any leveling of the playing field. Ratz and Lief can both probably wipe me off the road!

David, why do you try and keep your HR below 136bpm? I can hardly go up any hill of any length with any decent speed and keep my pulse under 136! Specific aerobic training regime, or condition that limits you in some way?

Yes, but will they "come out of their closet"? - that is the question?? :eek::D:p Any why are they in the closet? Where they bad? Did their wife's send them there because they spent too much time and money on their bikes? - Or - maybe it's a bike shop/workroom type of closet - who knows! ;)

I'm definitely no expert in this area, but from what I have seen, heard and ridden myself, it is my impression that the triple setup would only be needed for a super heavy laden bike that is going to be expected to climb extremely long and arduous climbs. I envision someone doing a cross-country...

Best idea if you can do it. Where do you live? If you are lucky enough to live within reasonable driving distance of Lumberton, NC - you can ask for a personal meeting with the owners (yes - believe it), and they have every version of Cruzbike available to try. .. or Portland where Robert is...

I was searching for a thread about Enduro XD-15 BB for you and figured I might as well steer you here: http://cruzbike.com/forum/threads/vendetta-v20-build-diary-2016.10189/#post-118508 Even though it is about a V20 build, it has tons of useful information about just about every component you...

Yes - it is definitely a pain in the !@#$%^ - the bluetooth thing - design flaw no doubt. The Wahoo head unit looks pretty nice. I just have never had much luck getting my Garmin Pedals to sync up with other apps on my smartphone - so I might be stuck with Garmin for now. My 510 is almost 2...

Rick, I think I have the 510 - isn't that the one with the touch screen? Mine automatically sync's the data to Garmin when it is connected via bluetooth, so I rarely use the USB for data transfer, only to charge it. I like the Garmin fine enough - although I have had the issue that the bluetooth...

Yes - both places appear to have 10-speed, but not 11-speed chain. Heck - I am pretty sure Cruzbike has a QBP account - Maybe if Robert sees this thread he can jump in and let us know if he can get the bulk chain. 10SL, and 11SL would be nice, but even for training the "SL" is not really necessary.
