Thank you, Rick! I must have been lucky with form, because I felt pretty good the entire ride. After 300 km, I felt stronger than ever. I never really had any significant mentally challenging episodes. Also, I somehow stayed clear of sleep deprivation. The few times I felt sleepy, I fixed it with quick naps. I did cut coffee over the 2-3 weeks leading up to the event, and of course drank plenty of coffee during the ride. That may have helped (a lot). More than anything, though, the bike made the ride much more comfortable and much easier than it would have been otherwise.

I find that the light on my handlebars is annoying in total darkness. It lights up my legs, and my legs cast shadows where I want to see. I have my light mounted up front just left of the cranks on that little tap that is out there. I also have a light under the pedals pointing down and forward. It's a very diffuse light so it can be seen easily by oncoming traffic. It's not bright enough by itself to light the road up when I'm at speed coming down a hill.

Jeg sykler selv også med liggesykkel en Challenge Chamsin opdatert med annet forskellige nytt utstyr for å sykle i fjellet siden jeg bor i Søndre land kommune. Interessert i Cruzbike Vendetta V20 og den nye Cruzbike S40. Kan du kanskje fortelle om den tekniske delen om sykkelen din ? Kjøpte du sykkelen Vendetta brukt eller ny/brukt med fult utstyr eller kun rammen for å bygge den opp selv? Siden gaffel har en 74 % graders vinkel på din sykkel synes du om det er behagelig å sykle på den siden det ligger med en 20 grader bakover i sætet med hodestøtten ? Bruker du Rotor ovale drev på kranken din ? Ellers utstyret på sykkelen din hjul,dekk,gear kasette,lys ? Cruzbike S 40 har den samme gaffel vinkel men setet/hodestøtten har en 30 grader % vinkel og sykkelen er noen kortere! Har du prøvd en slik liggesykkel å hva mener du om denne?

Thank you! That's a Fenix BC30, bought specifically because it uses replacable 18650 Li-ion batteries. I had one set of rechargeable batteries (but no charger), as well as 3 sets of non-rechargeable ones. That should be enough for 4 nights if I saved power. I used the backup light until it got properly dark, and then I put the light on one of the two lowest modes out of the 4 possible. The brightest mode runs through a set of batteries in an hour or so. The light setup was the single item I was the least happy with. Not because of the light itself, but because the downward-facing boom on my Vendetta made it hard to get the light pointing sufficiently up on the road ahead. I have since built a Son 28 dynamo wheel and bought a B&M Luxos 90. I hope to be able to mount that a bit better on the bike. I currently run it on my upright bike, and I really enjoy not having to think about batteries.

On my own Vendetta I ride unmodified with the quite thin stock seat pad. I do have a partly inflated tube in my neck rest, though. I've ridden lots of long rides, and I've never felt the bike to be too harsh. But it is a race oriented bike, so don't expect it to be super smooth. And it's not a gravel bike. If I wanted a more cushioned ride, I would have chosen the Cruzbike S40 with wider tires, or maybe even the brand new Q45.
