    cruzbike style rocker plate for indoor trainer

    Unforeseen problems.... When I first test rode the bike with this i didn't use the wheel weights that came with the Stac Zero. I wanted to be able to pull the bike off quickly to use outside as i do almost every day. It all worked pretty good except without the weights it was much harder to...

    cruzbike style rocker plate for indoor trainer

    It allows the natural movement of a cruzbike. I considered combining this with a " normal" rocker plate but wanted to see how this felt by itself before I did that.

    cruzbike style rocker plate for indoor trainer

    It feels more natural and you can use your arms more than when its stationary but I don't think they work as hard as when riding normal because there is no balance required.

    cruzbike style rocker plate for indoor trainer

    I went to Lowe's and bought some non-slide pads that are sticky on one side and covered the bottom of the lazy-Susan. So the wood base freely moves and the lazy-base stays put. When I get off the bike I put a block on either side so the the platform dosen't rotate and knock the bike over.

    cruzbike style rocker plate for indoor trainer

    Rocker plates mimic the side to side motion of a diamond frame bike. I wanted to do the same for the movement of my S40, so I installed a large lazy-Susan under a platform that holds my trainer It mimics the back and forth movement of the front of the bike fairly well.

    my longest ride to date

    This last Saturday the Parkers and Larry were racing in the RAAM Texas Challenge near San Antonio. I considered participating in the event as it's fairly close to Austin, but was a bit intimidated by the distance. I've never rode more than a century and wasn't sure how far I could ride...

    650c rear wheel for Vendetta?

    I'm riding this way on my S40. 700/35 front and 700/28 on rear.i wanted to change the angle a little to see if it reduced seat pressure. It allowed for transfering a bit of my weight to the back of the seat and off of my rear. I realize it's not recommended by many but I haven't noticed any ill...

    weirdest interaction with motorist

    As I was riding today a car pulled into the bike lane a ways in front of me, as I entered the regular lane to go around him the gentleman who had got out of his car entered the street and waved me over. I thought maybe I had dropped something or he really really wanted to ask about the bike. He...

    custom seat build

    I ride plenty of miles and have my share of wear and tear issues but this has more to do with the upright angle and how my hip joint interacts with the seat. I do like the ventisit pad but even after opening it up and adding more the problem continues. It did get better but not enough. But...

    custom seat build

    No, it's pretty stable, the seat pan changes shape slightly with my hip joints as they move. It has the potential to stretch if it gets too wet. Generally speaking I do not for see a problem but that is one reason a final build would be of thicker saddle leather. I used somewhat thick leather...
