    I did not weight it--but, I am sure bike and box are over 50 pounds.

    Bike Travel Case Recommendations

    Buxumbox arrived so I did a test fit. Well built. It does require a bit of disassembly--pop off the bottom bracket clamps, remove from the headset--About 7 minutes to pack and 7 minutes to unpack and re-assemble. I will secure the boom and cranks when I actually fly. First trip is mid May. I...

    Well--the Texas events are March--I emailed inquiring if Recumbents are allowed as they only link to the 2027 rules-waiting to hear back.

    The S40 works with most roof-rack bike carriers!

    I used to use a roof mount--then one day I forgot the bike was up there and drove into the garage--it did not go well--yes, stupid and avoidable--but I stick to hitch racks now. I did modify my 1up rack a little bit to improve fit. Intown I do not worry about the seat, but if I plan on highway...

    Bike Travel Case Recommendations

    Yep--It will be overweight--and yes, it will be extra--and yes, it means a mini van or SUV at the destination--Been there done that when traveling with my mountain bikes and fat Tire bikes--Once you accept its overweight, then putting the helmet, shoes, and cycling clothing, and tools in with...

    Bike Travel Case Recommendations

    Well, I pulled the trigger and ordered up a Buxumbox--I ended up sending a picture with measurements to the company, and they recommended the Stelvio MTB box, with some modifications--looks like I should be able to mount the bike in the box without dissasembly other than shortening the boom and...

    Insta360 Camera in "Following Mode" with Invisible Selfie Stick

    I use the Insta360 GPS remote so I can embed the data from the desktop editor. You can also sync it up with your Garmin or other cycle computer data, but I have not tried that myself.

    Insta360 Camera in "Following Mode" with Invisible Selfie Stick

    Glad you are enjoying the X5--there is a lot that can be done with it--of course the only limit is how you are willing to mount it. I tried off the bottom bracket but did not care for the crotch cam effect. I have been using a mount on the handlebar with about a 9 inch stick to get some...

    Numbers.

    I track a lot of data--power meter pedals, heart rate, speed, distance, cadence--and have for years--I find it interesting, and I do look at average max HR over a year, past years, power-----now--I can't say I actually change anything about what I am doing, but I do find it interesting. I...

    Lightbicycle company's carbon wheels?

    I use them on two fat bikes. Purchased the rims but had my local shop build up wheels with hubs of my choice. They are legitimate, and if you look through the mountain and road bike forums lots of folks have used them. I find their prices (if you spec with better hubs)are not that far off...

    SOLD - Silvio S40 - $2800 - South Anchorage, AK

    Everyone makes their own decisions about bikes, space, money, priorities--but yeah--it really comes down to it not being ridden. Now, that may change if the weather perks up a bit here--been rather overcast/drizzly, and the DF is my preferred ride in the damp weather. The other factor I find...

    SOLD - Silvio S40 - $2800 - South Anchorage, AK

    Felt the bicycle company-- I still very much enjoy riding my upright bikes in addition to recumbents. For off road and winter I ride a Trek Farley EX8--full suspension fat bike with 27.5x3.8 tires. This being Anchorage Alaska, that is November 1 -April 10 for snow riding, and June through...

    SOLD - Silvio S40 - $2800 - South Anchorage, AK

    Yep--that one is mine. Love it, but I also was seduced by a sexy Felt Gravel bike that was on clearance at the local bike shop, and there is only so much room at the inn (so my wife has told me). I am trying local right now, but if it does not go, I will post on here. I figure for the...

    New to cruzbike

    Just returned from a 7 mile ride. No one called in a drunk cyclist so I guess it was not too bad--actually, went well. Interestingly, one of the harder things to get used to was stretching my legs out while coasting and pedaling backwards. My speed was the same as on my upright road bike--but...
