Sure it does Jason - you are just not pedaling hard enough - stop loafing with those DF's and really put the "pedal to the metal". Hammer harder and harder until you don't have to pee any more.. :eek: .. In all seriousness, I have no idea. I can't stay on a DF long enough to even have to pee so...

These look very close to the 80mm rims I had made with the custom "Cruzbike Vendetta" logo on them. I will be very interested in how mounting the 26mm tubeless works on them. What brand of tubeless are you using? What kind of sealant? Looking forward to your report - as I am looking to switch...

I have spoken with the makers of Kervelo. The front "hub" assembly contains an 18-speed Pinion internally geared drive, which I had suspected when I saw the video. They are still in prototype mode and do not even have pricing yet for full production. I am trying to get them to build me a hub...

There you have it! If you have to pee a lot whilst riding, then you are not working hard enough - so pedal harder, pee less. I can relate to this; I hardly ever have to pee during my 30 or 60 second sprint intervals because I am at maximal effort, but when I ride multiple hours at only 150...

I think the title is great!

I think Sebring 24 was about $100 or so. Yes, I like the RAAM concept, but the cost is so exorbitant! That is probably why I'll never do it even if I thought I could unless there was someone who fully sponsored my - which would never happen! :) If I ever wanted to do a cross-country I think I...

Kurt - Not sure you are interested in a complete bike, but check this one out on our "for sale" thread http://cruzbike.com/forum/threads/my-vendetta-v2-2-for-sale-on-brol.10905/ It is truly an exceptional bike - it was mine and I traded it for an M1 6 months ago as I already had another...

A couple years ago, before I ever even rode a recumbent I commuted daily to and from work. I rode in everything, rain, snow, etc, etc - no I was not a postman! Anyway - I actually bought a shaft drive upright bike to test out. I rode it back and forth to work like I had been doing daily for...

.. or just stay in front - so we can draft you.. :)

I think I remember talking with Ben and that he indicated that he would ride RAW this year as kind of a pre-cursor to RAAM - i.e. help him try and figure out planning, logistics, etc for the longer RAAM ride later. Jason, I'm not sure how often, or even if Ben gets on this forum, but I talk with...

Yeah - but I thought this thread was about punctures, and crashing, and pain..... and quotes.. I guess..

Don't you just love that music! The rear end looks very similar to the proto-type that I saw Jim riding on last year too. Juts lay the seat and handlebar back , and you've got another speed demon. I would also love to see how the have done the gearing in the front hub.

Correct Jason. Don't order anything I am pretty sure I bought it at Lowe's. It could be a rather "funish" exercise to take the catheter down to Lowe's and wonder around the "tubing dept" waiting for some poor unsuspecting (shop-floor-person-helper) to ask if you need help! :p:D;):oops::rolleyes...

First I have to say: What a title for a forum thread!!! Jason, I did what you did - tested on a trainer at home and just let the tube run into an empty milk jug. It does take a little practice to actually get a "flow" going - in that you have to relax enough to get started, but once you do -...

I'm a little (ok - very) slow here, but are you saying... that if you ride your recumbent underwater at cow (bovine) body temperature that you will cause the water to heat up with 33% of your unused muscle power... or ... that you muscle will turn into cow muscle when submerged at cow (bovine)...

.. ...... Maybe a few UMC AUltra-cycling events each year to match your 4 weeks annual leave - then it would be pure paradise. :):p:D p.s. Jon, Slim... I have recently come to learn that "all" UMCA events are "private" events that are organized by private individuals or clubs and then...

My 2 cents: Many people thought I gave up the ability to "make" power with my upper body when I went to the little 12" wide stubby handlebars to take advantage of the aero effect. Per my testing those little stubby bars gained me about 1 kph. I personally feel like when you are truly relaxed and...

Excellent! I of course looked through the Good Word, but could not find anything relating to bicycle riding and falling - wonder why?? :) But these quotes do seem to be apropos to cycling: "For the righteous falls seven times and rises again, but the wicked stumble in times of calamity" -...

Yes they do - you will not have problem on the recumbent with the Look Keo's that come with the Garmin Vectors. Good Luck. It will be interesting for you to be able to compare actual power required to ride the Vendetta against your upright. Hopefully you will be able to ride the same route you...

The pain is different, but probably equal is some strange way. All I can say, is that dislocated shoulder sure hurt a lot worse than some road rash! Pain - I believe our bodies where created somehow to forget the actual pain. How else could a woman go through childbirth and one second swear...
