At the award ceremony they commented that their photo finish showed Kyle won by a tire width. I messed up a little too, as I thought the line was about 20 feet back where the cones started and "timer" was place, so I raced to that line and turned off the gas at that point and Kyle was probably...

Results: Here is a link showing the final 2 seconds of the Century. Do not blink when you are watching it!

To me that means, not have to stop. I envision a mini-hydralic type of lifter kind of like in an office chair. A little lever you pull would allow the seat to raise; the amount based on how much pressure you exert with your back. To lower it all the way back down, left the lever and push with...

I have 2 other SRAM etap systems - this was a third backup - and I need the money to but a new set of wheels! I just measured all the cable lengths and bought what was needed. No trial and error really. It took a couple hours to do the initial "internal" setup, but drilling a couple small holes...

Thanks for correcting me. To repeat in Bold 2018 dates are: October 11-14, 2018

Time to go electronic with you Cruzbike - Complete Di2 shifting system and Garmin (l/r) power meter pedals.. Complete Shimano Ultegra 6870 11s Di2 Electronic Upgrade Kit-- Electronic Front Derailleur (Braze On) - Electronic Rear Derailleur: GS - Electronic Shift Levers - Internal Wires - Seat...

I live near Asheville, NC. I live 10 minutes from the airport. If you can get here, I will take care of the rest! I suspect your version of the MBB will be a better climber than my Vendetta. Primarily due to the lower BB and higher seat. The perfect recumbent would have a way to move the BB from...

Yup, if the boom length changes at all, you have to loosen the cable and re-adjust. That is why I love the Di2 or SRAM electronic shifting.

Thanks for your explanation Marko - I understand what you are doing now, and I hope you did not think I was being to critical. You're bicycle builds and tests are fantastic and great for everyone! Keep up the good work. Hopefully someday we can meet up and do some testing together! :D

We will have our own convention! Maybe even with a little bit of barefoot skiing lessons.

Thanks for the report. So glad you have mastered it so quickly! Can not wait to hear how you tackle the hills.

Compared to Sebring the NH24C course it a "killer" course, plus the weather can be brutally hot and humid and there is a lot of climbing (known as hills) especially in that first 100 miles. I wore myself out in the heat and almost dropped dead from heat-stroke after covering the first 300 miles...

Hi Marko, I really enjoy watching all you testing and what you are testing. I test all kinds of things as well. I do believe that you are missing the opportunity to have better and more consistent, reproducible, and comparable results by collecting and recording the actual power (as well as your...

That is sad. I am hopeful that we do not have anyone in our Tribe that takes this stuff that seriously! :rolleyes:

Doug, Here is what I could find on my Youtube channel for Sebring that I thought would be helpful to you: 2017 Century: (gives you a good idea of what the first 100 miles will be like) The 11 mile loop: (this is pretty good showing the pit area available - and what you will spend the most of...

It is harder in my opinion to make the power going up those steeps grades so laid back. This might have to do with your heart being way lower than your legss not sure. I do not think I ever "adapted" to those steep climbs. I did not train for them specifically, I just trained to be able to ride...

I am dedicated to coming as well and plan on riding the Century for the first time. You should come Doug - it is a nice course and setup and lots of Cruzbikers to rub elbows with. I have some videos I can send you links to that will show you what to you will see at the "pit area" for the...

Sorry to hear about your ordeal. Heal quickly I have had quite a few front flats (with tubes) - lots of scraping of bike parts and lots of road rash - usually at speeds in excess of 25mph. I have had none with tubeless. My observation for what it is worth. I usually run between 90-100 psi in my...

You guys are killing me!! :eek::( Sorry to hear it though - get well soon. You could still just come and ride the Century at whatever pace you can ride - just to be there!

OK - Who's going to Sebring this year and what are you riding? I heard rumors that Jason would not make it, and Bob & Tanya not too - and possibly Hardy too. "you slackers" :confused::eek::rolleyes: Jason and Pankratz off the hook due to distance, but Hope that is not true Hardy - you guys are...
