Cruzeum Curator & Sigma Wrangler
An invitation of sorts:
I am finally taking a week off to do intensive testing of my collection of bikes (mostly recumbents) and their accompaniments.
I will spend the better part of 7 straight days doing various testing.
My testing will be conducted with power meters, and as similar components, wheelsets, tires and other items as possible.
One of my first goals is to attempt to make each bike as aerodynamic as possible by testing various changes within each bike itself.
The primary goal however is to test all the bikes at various speeds and wattages to discover how they compare and which ones take the least amount of watts at various speeds.
It may be that one bike is more efficient at one speed, but another bike is more efficient at another speed.
I will hopefully even have an SRAM Etap TT setup that should be a quick change over to any other bike.
I will begin on Saturday June 25 and ending on Friday July 1st
Most of my testing will be done on an 1/3 oval track or high school track in the area, and I plan to be out at one track or another all day, weather permitting of course.
The bikes I will be testing so far are:
Are you curious how your Vendetta (or other bike) stacks up against some of these other bikes.
Would you like to try and ride some of these other bikes.
Would you like to experiment with different cranks lengths, helmets, handlebars, etc?
Never used a power meter?
I have an extra PT wheel that you can also use if you don't use power and are curious about that data, and my adjustable crank set.
It would also be really interesting to get someone who rides an upright TT bike and a Vendetta and to do some comparative testing between those 2 formats as well.
If you would like to come over for a day or 2 and do some testing and riding with me, get up with me and we can firm up any plans.
You can email me directly at larryoslund@gmail.com
All the best,
Larry
