In my experience, the brakes In my experience, the brakes on these bikes are so incredibly effective - more so than any other RWD two wheel recumbent I have ever been on. As you gain confidence definitely develop a good technique for braking while at speed. I am glad that you are enjoying...

Holy smokes that is an Holy smokes that is an awesome chainring!!!!!

Lots of great advice above. Lots of great advice above. It comes with time. As you noticed, once you decide to work WITH the bike and not "fight" the steering it falls into place.

Which Saris rack is that if I Which Saris rack is that if I may ask and does it fir the longer wheelbase of the V? It looks like it has a bit up a higher mount as well. I am looking for something that sits higher up. Robert

Mmmmmmmmmmm electronic Mmmmmmmmmmm electronic shifting! You owe me a keyboard as mine is covered in drool now. Robert

Good advice on here. Take Good advice on here. Take things one adjustment at a time and I concur to start by reclining that seat a bit to the first set of holes. Another idea is to rotate the handlebars down in the stem so your wrists are more natural. In the picture it looks like your...

Ultimately - you have to be Ultimately - you have to be able to maintain a forward MPH to keep balanced. Too much "climbing" gears and you fall over. This becomes more pronounced on steeper inclines as your body gets angled backwards and balance becomes even harder to maintain anyway. I...

I agree with Johns I agree with Johns observation and I have a similar issue. This sort of fit challenge is not uncommon, but on some recumbents it is not an issue (like on a stick highracer) because your legs are on the other side of the handlebars eliminating the need to account for the "foot...

Joghn, Indeed - this is why I John, Indeed - this is why I have a second drive wheel so I can make a swap depending on the ride. Here in Portland where I live it is either going up up up or down down down. Unless I head out east where the grades are flatter. :-) Robert

The newer fork will not be an The newer fork will not be an option and will only be on the next run, not the existing stock. Even with the newer fork, the 135 option will be there but 130 will always be a better and easier fit. :-) Robert

Rick, Good to know the 42T Rick, Good to know the 42T shifts well! Ill have to look into that company too - these do seem to be gaining popularity. Of course the best way to get better at hills is to ride the hills! ;-) Robert

I have been testing a 50/34 I have been testing a 50/34 and an 11-40 T cassette on the Vendetta and it is awesome as a bail out gear or for when you just want to spin a higher cadence on milder climbs in the big chainring. It is the One-Up Components 40T add on for the cassette. As long as...

That is a nice looking set of That is a nice looking set of cranks! Do you feel like you have lose some leverage at all? Robert

It is a real squeeze to get a It is a real squeeze to get a 135mm hub in the fork. I know that Doug has done it and I have done it as well to test disc brakes, but personally I do not recommend it and I ended up going back to calipers. If the fork was a 132.5 as some are making now that would...
