I like triathlon shorts with either leather chamois or synthetic that is very thin. Both modest and comfortable. Have a couple pair of Pearl Izumi Select with synthetic and BlackBottoms with leather.

ChaleJake, I ride our Softrider off road all the time. Have several hundred miles on Rails-to-Trails trails and local backroads and firetrails. Except for occasional front wheel slip on steeper climbs and loose dirt the Softrider is an excellent off-roading choice. First pic is Rails-to-Trails...

Im for upside down. IMO the T2 SRAM RD makes all the difference in the world on both the S2.1 and S30.

When I added the 100mm extension to my original S1.0 I added 200mm of chain and did not have to change the FD cable. From what I can see from your pics bubbabent I think you may benefit from cutting the steertube to get your hands down and also from installing a 100mm extension. As I mentioned...

I too am glad you are still with us Bob!

SOLD salud, Hal

A-L I think I have a 100mm extension around some where. Ill check if youre interested.

BJ686, that solution would have made my situation worse. On my S1.0 recumbutt was due to the underside of my thighs coming into contact with the seat pan due to a low crank height. Extra padding would have increased contact. My solution was to raise the crank height.

Dan, cranky is correct. I added 200mm of chain when I installed the extension. There should be quick links both sides of the added chain.

bubba, I had issues with my S1.0. They resolved when I added a 100mm extension and got boom adjusted well. It worked like magic for me. Im 5'10" and sold the S1.0 to Dan who is shorter than me. As far as I know he is still using the extension with good results.

thanks for that Abram!

Thanks all for the encouragement and fast healing and recovery to you injured. I went out for ride #2 yesterday and what a difference a day (week) makes. Granted the ride started out 20 degrees cooler and temps ended 10 degrees cooler but there was a remarkable difference. Went 10 miles with...

I had some vascular surgery on my left leg on 6/15 and, after he asked if I was capable of taking it easy, was cleared by my doc to start moderate aerobic activity a week ago. On Friday morning 7/15 exactly a month from my procedure I went out for a spin. I rode a 20 mile out and back on the...

FWIW - I ride round rings and have a 40T cog on my hill riding cassette. I use 34-36 without any difficulty and use 34-40 as my bail out gear. It is above stall speed for me (3.5-5mph) but wander on the road a little more and have to pay a lot more attention riding next to others when going...

Zzzorse, did you drill and tap a hole into the bottom of the chainstay (and hangar?) to insert a keeper of sorts? If so, that looks like a great solution for S1.0-2.1 models to keep the hangar in place during wheel changes.

Looks like the right hangar to me. I agree with slim - separate the fork and chainstay, place the circular section into the slot in the chainstay and reassemble the fork and chainstay. You should be good to go.

Here's to blessings on a speedy recovery and a return to the quest!

Ill cast another vote for the Redline Microline. It is available from 135mm through 165mm. I used the calculator above and arrived at 140-145. Purchased the crank arms and bottombracket for around $100. Have it set up for a single chainring but a little filing as others have done will...

Jim, I think your proposal has considerable merit. Are you planning on submitting for funding? Looking for a research manager?:cool: One thing you might want to consider is the possible effect of severe induced hypoglycemia on erythrocyte function. Erythrocytes rely almost exclusively on...

measure or put some tape on the boom and slider to mark your current position. Then extend the boom and move the bars toward you by the same amount until your comfy. Make small 1/2" or so adjustments until you get it where you get it right.
