Just bought an immaculate 2004 Volae Century. I like everything about it except the tweener bars. I'm willing to give it 200 miles but my experience with the...
... After a 60 miler, multiple adjustments of the tweeners, more than a couple of informed opinions that in some cases were quite detailed, I have ordered a...

Hi all, AT LAST! My wife Kenya wants a Volae! The last ride we had with another recent Volae convert won her over. Now she wants to keep up with us! I'm in the...

Hi everyone, Great group, I've learned a lot by scouring the posts. Just ordered my Expedition from Hostel Shoppe, and I forgot to ask if pedals are included....
Pedals aren't included or at least weren't on ours. You will get a lot of opinions on pedals. I highly recommend the Speedplay Frogs or the Speedplay road...
The rear idler on my Team with about 8,000 miles was looking a little poor, so I decided to treat my bike to a new Terracycle rear idler. while i was at it, I...
Ihab: We were (briefly) in Palo Alto last week - my son just started work at Oracle up in Redwood City, and we drove out from Maryland to get his new (my old)...
They come standard with adequate pedals - I got a minor deduct for ordering with no pedals and switched the Speedplay Frogs from my old cross bike. The Frogs...
I was referred to this group from a friend who rides the Comet. Some of you may have seen my yellow Bigha out there, (just sold) or my DF, which is a LeMond....
I ordered a pair of Crank Brothers Mallet pedals. The two/four sided clip-ins are easy to get in and out of and the wide platform allows you to ride without...
Hi Jim, ... Excellent ... Oracle is in a lovely place. My first job in Silicon Valley (after moving here from Minnesota) was at a little startup just across...
Dennis, I just added a new Terracycle rear idler (power side) to my Team this weekend. Since the bicycle was purchased last Sept, the Hostel shoppe told me...

I've got about 150 miles on my pair of idlers now and am pretty happy with them. The rear one has quieted down nicely and it is pretty slick how they track...
Denny, is the rear idler smooth or toothed? ... From: Dennis Tresenriter To: Volae_Recumbents@yahoogroups.com Sent: Sunday, July 23, 2006 8:41 PM Subject: Re:...
It's a toothed cog. I bought the expensive one that they show in the catalog. My bike gets ridden a lot without much care so I thought I'd splurge for a...
Ok. Took my first ride (@25miles) on my new Volae Club. First off, what a beautiful bike. Everything went fairly smooth, but I noticed after I stopped I...
... from where the edge of the seat was contaqcting my leg. but only my right leg. Maybe I was sitting crooked on the bike although I was adjusted pretty...
I haven't had that problem at all on my Club. I also would suggest moving the seat forward. Remember you should have a little bend in you knee when pedal is...
Hi Jim, ... This is my experience too. I don't have the problem fully licked yet but here's what I've found out: 1. As you note, lower your seat. The effect of...
I know it's long over due but--Congrats Mack! I dream of that kind of stuff. Glad to hear the Club came through. I know 'bent pride well. We have the Oregon...

Maynard, Get the small (or large) euro bag from hostel shoppe. I just did a 70 mile ride on Friday. I've had my Club for only a week. With that bag I was...
I agree on the small Euro bag. I've used both the Fastback system and the small Euro bag from the Hostel Shoppe. Generally, I prefer the Hostel Shoppe bag for...
Hi Bob, I'm new to this group, and a new Volae owner YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAA My question is: You said "the Hostel shoppe told me that the front kit wouldn't help on...
