Rotating it 180 gives a Rotating it 180 gives a different feel and also provides for a different clearance depending on your leg length. You could rotate it upside down but the same up-down for the bars could be accomplished by just sliding the stem down. Here is a picture of my daughter...

Very nice. I just did a clamp Very nice. I just did a clamp shave for a customer yesterday to prevent them hitting her legs.

For fit I always have someone For fit I always have someone sit on the bike - feet on pedals. Have someone hold you up. If you put the bike in a trainer put a block under the rear wheel to make sure it is level. Loosen the handlebars and let your arms and wrists be as natural as possible...

Those handlebars - turned Those handlebars - turned that far backwards I would not be surprised that there is some neck paid - your arms and shoulders cannot be in a natural position with them that way. Best bet: Loosen the handlebar clamp just a bit and let those bars rotate down. Sit on...

I have tried all variations I have tried all variations of this - from just protruding to nearly all the way out and in my opinion the difference was negligible, and likely more of a perception anyway. It is less a "spring" and as was noted, is mainly taking up vibration during a ride and the...

It is very much well worth It is very much well worth the watch everyone. It is for a GREAT cause! Robert

Being very tense makes any Being very tense makes any bike (and particularly recumbents) difficult to ride. A big key is to relax and trust that after you are rolling a bit the bike will want to stay upright. I taught my daughter recently at the Portland Human Power Challenge to ride a Q26...

I will echo Ashtabula's I will echo Ashtabula's comments. Running super tight tire clearances can be a hazard. I have never experienced a wheel rotation halt but I have seen some pretty demolished tires from debris getting caught. I apply this to doing fender installs as well. Robert

Epic!!!! Those are some great Epic!!!! Those are some great photos.

That looks like something you That looks like something you would see in Portland for sure.

Good post by ratz. That cost Good post by ratz. That cost estimate is good, and would yield a VERY nice setup. At a given budget amount you are then only paying for (less) weight - literally counting grams - and start to pass the point of diminishing returns (my opinion of course)... Wheel...

Sincere condolences as well. Sincere condolences as well. The legacy of the 3000 miles to a cure organization will keep her memory present always and keep fighting the good fight. Robert

Doug, Awesome - thank you for Doug, Awesome - thank you for the recommendation! That looks like the ticket right there! Robert

Anyone know if the Saris Themla rack will hold a Vendetta? Is the wheelbase adjustable on that rack? I believe I read that it will fit a Silvio, but there the wheelbase is shorter... Looking for a quality hitch rack that will haul a V and an S. Not interested in a Hollywood rack - I...

This is going to be different This is going to be different for everyone and also depend on your determination. Some people throw up their hands after a few tries of anything new, don't change up technique when something is not working, etc etc. Others have resolve and envision success - they...

Yes indeed! Yes indeed!
