To All, Something great has happened and I figure it involves my (un) cycling hobby. I got on the scales this morning expecting to weight in at my usual 220...
To All, I have posted a pic of my Volae Team sleeping in my garage until spring 2008. It was a great year of cycling and I rode the Volae Sport and later on...
Randy, First off I wouldn't judge your fitness or health simply by standing on a scale. If you lose 10lbs of fat and put on 12lbs of lean muscle you are in ...
To All, The off season is here and I see my Volae resting in the garage waiting for spring. I wish warmer weather would stay longer in Louisville which is...

Bikenbud: A very good question, as I am getting ready to order a triple. I have several friends using them - one on a Bachetta Strada (pretty similar to my...
I put Q rings on my Volae Club and I love them. I could tell immediate
difference. I got three rings, new chain, new rear cog. Figured I'd get
everything to...
NO!! The the RS4X is not the same as the Q rings -- the Q rings have no moving parts and are not round but elliptical in shape -- they try to do the same job...
I am going to convert my Volae Sport to a Terracycle Over/Under Idler this winter. (Christmas Present for myself!!!) Will I need to also replace the chain or...
... Hey Bruce, You don't need to adjust anything to add the TC over/under idler to your Volae. Just remove both stock idlers and bolt on the TC unit. The...
I have a Rotor crank triple on my older bike and a Q-Ring triple on my newer bike. Whenever I switch, my muscle memory notes the difference (in pedal-pressure...
I'm thinking of making one of these http://www.recumbents.com/wisil/practical/hpvpfair.htm with a used Century. However, the design requires tiller steering....
... I haven't used CO2 inflators in years, but when I did the big difference between the threaded and non-threaded CO2 cartridges was you could buy the...
I carry an inflator and several 12g CO2 cartidges -- the BB gun kind. One cartridge will pump a 650x23c to about 90 psi, more than enough for me (I'm fairly...
Thanks for your input Vik. My new bike came with 125 psi tires and my pump just won't do it. I have to buy a new better pump or the CO2 inflators. Vik...
Hugh, I use Topeak Road Morph pumps. They are small, light, use a flexible hose so you don't damage your valve stem, some models come with a built in pressure...

I sweat a lot when I ride, and the hardshell seats do seem to fill up with it! I have wanted do drill a venting hole or 2, but had concerns both about the...
Hey Dave, I can't answer your question about drilling into a hardshell seat, but I do have a suggestion to keep you cooler and drier. Try a triple [comfort ...
