Since you are purchasing your new bent mainly for commuting and not all out speed, I would still choose the S40. It will be a little slower than the S30 but not significantly based on the speeds you will probably be going. Once you get the real speed bug and want to race and go really fast, then...

Great write up Tor - I will have to say it was fun reading your account - and I will have to say, your English is extraordinary! Much better than mine unfortunately! :rolleyes: If you ever get over to the US, look me us and we can go riding on the Blue Ridge Parkway. :)

I'd buy all three - run tests for a couple years at every power level for all possible riding situations - then settle on the V20! (That is because after all the testing scenarios you will be super buff, and expert MBB rider and will just want to go as fast as possible. But that is just me...

Use Molten speed wax. You chain never gets dirty and lasts about 3 times longer. Love it and will never use anything different.

I am still waiting to from Robert and Jim. So far only 5 of the 14 have posted a ride for week #10. A little disappointing since it was the last week, but that is the way it goes. :( I did so badly (16 secs off my PB) that Rob Lloyd has a big opportunity to catch and/or pass me in points since...

Thanks for letting me know - good luck on the 600!

Thanks Brian. Yeah, I was pretty wasted this last week after my 211 miles Texas RAAM event, then a Hare & Hound race on Zwift on Wed - Fri I did not have much in the tank. Probably my worst showing in the 10 weeks. Thanks for being a part of it. Hoping to do another one in the "summer" - when...

Week #10 (and the end of our challenge) ended last night at midnight. Please get your results loaded into Strava, and/or to me as soon as you can. Note: BrianV - I do not seem to have you email so cannot contact you except for here.

You can send me all your "old" stuff!

Way to go Jason! I really hope all of us can post a PR this final week! Thanks for putting a target out there for the rest of us to shoot at. For those of you who don't remember, Jason joined us in week #5 and averaged "only" 297 watts for that first TT - He has improved virtually every week in...

Doug Kline - if you see this - Anyway you can get David Cole to help out? I am not sure of the process of transferring a registration and how it works - or how you find out who is registered but cannot come, but there are so many people registered for this ride that I image there are always a...

Week #9 results: 9 of our 14 riders completed their TT for week #9. 5 set new PB's, with Maria Parker leading the way with a 98 second improvement. Way to go Maria! You are the week #9 victor! New PB's: Maria - 98 secs Cliff - 25 secs Rob L - 21 secs Jason - 20 secs Larry - 2 secs Interesting...

I would probably run a recessed "pin" through the old fork into the new sleeve. That should keep it where it needs to be. You surely don't want to loose any steering ability when you are going 30mph on this guy! Also: It just seems so wrong to have an "M5" seat cushion no an "M1" :rolleyes: You...

Way to go Kenneth - and great job! It sure would have been nice to see you in Castorville. I think you would have done just fine there. It was a tough ride and the rain and wind made it a little tougher, but based on what you did by yourself I think you would have been able to finish. It always...

Great - I am in - will see you guys there!

There is also the fact that you have to be more carefully and tentative when on wet roads. Not sure if power to go the same speed would be the same or not. Probably pretty negligible - like several seconds for a 20K or something crazy like that. Something us mere mortals do not really need to...

Week #8 Results - Sorry for the delay: 9 riders competed this week. Barry Williams takes top honors of the week with a 126sec improvement of his personal best! Congrats. 4 of us also recorded new personal bests: Jason 27 secs Larry 24 secs Cliff 21 secs Rob Lloyd 2 secs ..... Larry strengthened...

No need for a war. It is a fact that the position a rider is in (or can be in) on an upright bike gives them more of a mechanical advantage to make more power. Downside is pain and loss of aero. They can engage more muscle groups, and swing all their weight from side to side, plus I believe they...

It just stumbled on this YouTube Video this morning. Initial picture misleading also, as that bent not even in the list. Not sure I like that they are saying it is "expensive" - which it is not when compared to a high-end road bike that it can compete easily with. Did not give the Vendetta much...

I just love the way he says "recumbent" reck-um-bent! Amazing footage on all that snow and ice. Will have to put this on my place to visit when I ride around the globe on my Vendetta. I even invited him to my "secret test facility" :p:p:p:p
