    Recommendations on lighting

    Looks like I need some "lighting" on this ride!

    It's me with the unridden Vendetta again.

    Better yet - cut a variety of foam wedges to put behind your seat pad. Start off with 30% recline if that works better, and then then work your way down to nothing but the seat!. I did not think I would ever be able to ride my Sivlio 2.0 when I got it (June - 2014), but practiced every day about...

    Mount rear brake upstairs?

    Per Jim Parker: FSA brakes will fit nicely on the high mount position on the V20. I still need to get one for myself.

    Cause for Concern

    Hi David, I had something very similar happen to me this year. It was not quite the same but close: I am 56. What I was doing was regularly this summer was riding with an average HR of around 165 for 3,4 hours (weekly) when training for my Century attempt. Sometimes, not all the time, my heart...

    Crest of a Hill

    Hopefully you've remembered to change the oil every 5 years or 50,000 miles! :)

    First Vendetta Ride WooHoo!

    Yeah - like a fire that cannot be quenched - take you breath away - cut your finger off to the stop the pain - kind of "burn". After you wake up from fainting over all that - then, yes it is amazing!

    The Road to 500 miles in 24hrs

    Or you can just pee in the seat pan and either pray for a shower or hose off the bike after the ride!

    The Road to 500 miles in 24hrs

    This will also come with time on the bike, but you will may never be able to take both hands off and ride and eat like you could on an upright. I would also experiment with liquid fueling if you ever do this again. I use Infinit and like it very much. You can customize the mixture to you...

    The Road to 500 miles in 24hrs

    One word: Condom- catheter OK - maybe two words - but they are really nice and worth the minor hassle. Hook a tube to it and stick in your shorts. We you gotta pee, you just whip it out (talking the tube now, not... ) and hang it over the edge - The warm pleasurable feeling of an emptying your...

    Crest of a Hill

    OK - I guess I totally blacked out on the hill climbing part of the conversation - sorry about that. :)

    First Vendetta Ride WooHoo!

    sorry about your fall and road rash. I'm an expert on road rash from this year - Went down at least 5 times. First time was really bad and had about 1/4" of skin gone from my forearm. Make sure just coat everything with Silvaderm (or equivalent). It works miracles, and speeds the healing process...

    Crest of a Hill

    Yes, but what about this guy? His heart is definitely not above his legs and he seems to be able to go pretty fast:

    Vendetta Winterizing

    Joe, what kind of ceramic hybrid bearings did you end up using. Where you able to do a benchmark with the wheels before and then after to see what the difference was? Could you feel anything difference with the ceramic bearings, or where there just too many changes at the same time?

    Crest of a Hill

    David, one thing to think about is that when you are going up hills, especially steep ones, the aero factor is not that big of a deal. Laying back lower would probably not help you, as the farther back you lay the harder it is to make power. Better to lean up and shorten your hip angle, as I...

    Where are all the recumbents?

    This thread is "officially" hi-jacked for good now (no sense in starting a new thread I guess) - Sorry Gary! Well, I did it. I took Ken's (prototype FWD-MBB - Zockra Clone = ZC) bike to my "super secret test facility" Sunday afternoon after church and rode it for about 5 minutes. I had my VIRB...

    Update on Abbott

    Get well Abbott! I pray you figure out what is going on soon and you can be back to riding. We all seem to hit bumps in the road like this from time to time. (Me, my heart was doing this crazy thing of going up in to 230-240 bpm while riding. Spent most of the summer with 3 different...

    The Road to 500 miles in 24hrs

    Great job Jason! Watched it all through the day - wishing I was there of course! 24 hour rides & suffering appear to go hand in hand. (i.e. if you aren't suffering, then you probably wear taking it easy) Knowing you, I doubt if that would ever be an issue!

    Where are all the recumbents?

    Cogs are 11-19 (9-speed) - nice and tight! I'm thinking of wearing something like this for my ride today: (heads up display inside the helmet of course) :)

    Where are all the recumbents?

    I am planning on going out and trying to ride it tomorrow at the track after church. I've already got my VIRB camera mounted on the handlebar stem, and my wife is also going to video me with another camera from the sideline. I can't wait to see what happens, especially since the maker and the...
