Hey all, Accolades are always nice. Lets flood Bryan with votes for the QX100 as recumbent of the year! http://www.bentrideronline.com/?p=10496#more-10496

Take a look for the Origin 8 Seat clamp: http://www.amazon.com/Origin8-Pro-Fit-Seat-Clamp/dp/B00R6S5WAW That clamp is basically an off the shelf item on the older models. For the pivot clamp it is the 34.9.

On that older Silvio you should just be able to use a standard clamp. I have an Origin 8 one on my own personal early model Silvio.

The correct one os the Topeak Beam Rack - A type.

Note for everyone that frames ship with the straight slider - that is the way they are shipped from the factory - so the curved one is an additional option that would ship separately. If ordering a complete bike - I will build it with the curved one if that was an added option someone wanted...

Here is a video of the headset adjustment:

The only difference as was indicated is the chainstay length. The sizes overlap, but a medium is the best fit in the bell curve for nearly everyone, unless you have an x-seam that is longer than 45" the bike handles better with the medium stay. If you ride a long stay typically a steerer...

Indeed that is a 1.5

The FSA SLK does work in the upper position. Still, any caliper is going to feel smoother when in the lower position due to the way the housing is routed.

I will agree with Jim, the V2K is a SWEET deal and having ridden them around this is an amazing price for the build and quality. Really - not just saying this because I am building them - but this quality for the price is very hard to come by. Robert

This comes from the guy who completed a sub 4 hour open road century. All of the advice above is excellent. Stick with it and the results can be huge.

Considering your limited time acclimating to the bike and getting it 100% dialed in (which takes a good season of riding and tweaking) your result is amazing! Robert

My #1 advice for learning to ride is to take your time and get to feel and master the nuance of the FWD particularly in turns before getting too fast or pulling switchback maneuvers, etc. Find an empty lot and get a feel for the ride. Use platforms for a while and start with the basics...

These are basically Sofrider frames. The shifters are VERY nice SRAM Rival MTN Doubletaps in 10 speed. Robert

We are working on this everyone. hard to do with only one or two people who have the keys to the car here. Rest assured it will get fixed. :-) Robert

This find is gold for everyone with the older V's for sure, as old OEM ones were specially made and we no longer have many - and ordering more is not super realistic due to cost and MOQ.

I have run 2.0 Big Apples with no problems - other than it being AWESOME. :-)

Treat the handlebars as if you were gripping ripe bananas, and only go for the hardcore grip when you absolutely need that kind of power. I do a lot of practice on calm stretched not even grabbing the bars - I just barely rest my hands on them. Heal well!

The new rack is very robust. The top portion is also Racktime compatible (as it is made out of a Racktime top and specially made side panels) so those brand of bags simply click on. The HD rack is no longer being made so this is going to be the new rack for the QX100. I think I have 6 or 7 of...

This is the way to go for the Q559 and the QX100: http://cruzbike.com/q-tour-commute-rack.html
