John and Cletus: Where in Houston to you guys like to ride? I'm going to be visiting a friend down there and wonder where might be a good place to catch a...
There is a Saturday ride every Saturday from Planetary Cycles.. The HBC ride schedule is here: http://www.houstonbicycleclub.org/Pages/RideSchedule.aspx ...
George, I'm one of Cletus' riding buddies. I can loan you my large frame RANS V-Rex if need be. Sorry, you can't have my Aero! ;-) I'm set up for eggbeaters,...
Is the rear dropout spacing of the dual 26" Giro 135mm and the new aluminum Corsa 130mm? I'm looking to buy my first bent and have heard it suggested that I ...
John - If you haven't tried them, I'd like to recommend the Lake SPD cycling sandal. I love mine. Have used a pair since 2003, and can't imagine riding with...
... fast..I don't see a "bullet proof" 650 tire option. AFAIK, there are no "bullet proof" 650 tires suitable for commuting. Yes, you can probabaly commute on...
... How about these: http://www.bontrager.com/Road/Wheelworks/Tires/5731.php I'm sure it's a mistake, but the 650 x 25 has an MSRP of $0.00. But wow, "triple"...
... I was clear in stating that you _can_ commute with 650s. IMO, commuting with anything less the 32mm is abusive. But then maybe you have nice well...
There may also be an issue of clearance for larger tires on the rear fork of the new Corsa frame. You may want to start a thread on the Bacchetta forum or...
I believe the back end will have the same clearance as the Aero. The biggest I have used on an Aero is 559x27 (25c Stelvio). Zach!!?? According to the website,...
... Well, North Carolina has been referred to as "the good roads state". As bad as the construction near my house is at the moment, the occasional bad stuff...
... event ... I don't know how bullet proof they are but Terry makes a 650 x 28C tire which should work well for commuting. My Aero appears to have enough...
Hi John, Thanks for the offer of the 'Rex. I'll have to check the Rans page and see how it would fit. I rode a large frame Stealth before the Super Strada...
What great responses, thank you everyone! I think I'm leaning toward the new "Poor Man's Aero," or Corsa, as in all my years of riding I've never wished for a...
... John has ridden with the Sugarland group. I have not. The Planetary Group leaves at 7:30. On Saturday, the traffic is light. The Sugarland group rides to...
... George, I live about 9 miles North of Sugarland. I rode with the Sugarland group last weekend. They leave out at 7:30 Saturday and Sunday and ride a 52...
I have an orange Strada with the Avid rear brakes and Shimano levers. The brakes are next to impossible to get adjusted. It has gone through 2 rt brake arms,...
... I run 28-559 Stelvios on Aero #1. The 28-559 replaced the 25-559. The actual width went up from 27 mm to 28 mm. The 28-559 Stelvio has adequate clearance...
I had the same problem with my orange Strada. I sold it and got the yellow Strada and the problem was solved. I later found out that orange Stradas have this...
Aside from custom-painted, I didn't know there were any yellow Stradas. Corsas, yes... (;-) <----helmeted rider grinning like a fool That said, yes, there...

And I didn't mean to imply that you had offended me, either. Perhaps I didn't read your post correctly. In any case, I hope markl929 is able to resolve the...
I had heard that a tail box is more critical than a fairing for a high bottom bracket recumbent. I now have a ZZipper fairing on my Corsa and love it. We have...
Herman, Good thread and links. Any pics of a rider on the Corsa? The fairing is much larger than I expected for a high racer, but it looks like the frontal...
I need to take a whole series of pictures, hopefully week after next. Will then get a picture of me on the bike so you can see how to adjust the fairing as...
Just wondering if anyone from the list is going to the RBR Rally 2 weekends from now. I went last year and had a great time time. Mark and Rich are scheduled...
