yeah happened to me too, then i switched to the red stiff short springs in front with 5-6 bars. milan sl and snoek got short track width and are more typsi roll over faster. with 58 cm while milan gt and df xl got 65 cm track width. soft suspension is really bad for stability. also use large chainrings 80tooth with low cadence so when you pedal its less wobbely. i blame you however you gotta keep the velo in straight line not move around like a chicken. steering mistake by pilot here

Nicely done. I use Mspeedwax too and have to agree with Zerofrictionfacts about its effectiveness. I ride a pedal assist E-Bike and with my first HG Shimano oiled chain it lasted 1500k's before showing worn at .75 on a Park tool gauge. I switched to Mspeedwax from Adam at Zerofrictionfacts advice and chose a KMC chain. This chain has done nearly 6,000k's and still is less than .5 from the same gauge. I have two E-bikes with waxed chains and re-wax every 3-4 weeks (300K's). After removing chains from the pot I let mine drip a little then lay them flat on a piece of paper towel or rag and wipe the outside clean. Then whilst still warm and pliable fit it back on the bike, spin the cranks whilst holding a cloth on the chain and good to go. I'm still using the 2 little blocks of wax 18 months later. Excellent value.

360 rollover may happen in anything like 'riding' and 'driving', but we are not titanium, nor James Bond. Terrified. Just lucky were you last week. Take care!!!

Announce when you pass! It common sense and courtesy for other riders! Slow down too😡

I hope you will recover fast ! so from toady I will ride only with helmet in a Velomobile....And I hope on my DFXL the swingarm will be OK.....thanks for this Video !!

A very unexpected incident... We have to constantly pull over to the edge of the road to let cars pass.

This is real scary! I hope you got a Neurological exam at the local hospital to make sure everything is okay.

GO TO HOSPITAL NOW. It could be brain bleeding it can be fatal GO NOW

Damn, I'm sorry to see this, Sandiway. This type of rollover is what makes me think my next velo may be a four-wheeler.

Luckily you were on a cycle lane and you had your helmet on. Probably the rear swing arm being loose, having your right wheel off the path (may be 4 or 5 cm lower on the dirt) , and a bit of quick counter reaction.....all of these made a very interesting test day for you! Hope you feel better by now....

I was commuting one lovely morning about 2:40 just starting my first down hill I had just put my arms in and slid down, can hit 40-45 most days. Suddenly there was several deer in my lane I went left, they went right I was at that moment quite stupid. I relaxed, several more then popped out directly in front of me, I pulled hard right too hard and ended up rolling my velomobile nearly half way down the hill. I was with the velo on the hillside and me trying to get out of the pedals. Hopefully the bruises and aches won’t be so long!

It is scaringly surprising to see how easy the velomobile turned over. I have imagined them being much more stable. You didn't do anything that drastic, didn't drift or drive particulary fast. All it took was one correction with the steering and you where face down.

Hope this happened a few days ago and you are doing ok, if not would recommentd check on that headache too. Really hope you're ok, and thanks for documenting this so well, very interesting. All the best and hope the snoek recovers well too!

I hope you recover quickly from this spine-chilling crash. I wouldn't have thought that the Snoek could turn over in such circumstances. Thank you for documenting it.

That was hard to watch, but it was also amazing how well you document everything about the Snoek and your mods and this crash - hope you are ok

😢

:( Crappy, Sandiway! Hope you recover well! About that rear swingarm setup; might be difficult to repair later, but why not put a few layers of carbon over it?

It is crucial that you get professional medical attention for your headache ASAP!

I hope you've recovered ok

Nice ride, what are the rules on e-bikes in Arizona? In Germany that would classify as a S-Pedelec (S =speed) and would have to be insured as a moped. Regular bikes as the ones you passed support up to 25 km/h. If he’s doing the 40+ on a regular pedelec I say:”RESPECT “. Glad you recovered. The “cool season” is coming up plenty of time to do zone 2 !!😂

UPDATE: today I rode the Aceoffix trifold home again. But it was a whopping improvement. 1 hr 20 mins ride time. (Last one was 1:32.) Reason for such a huge difference? I used clipless pedals and shoes.

Velomobile wins. It was so obvious. :D

Hi, bro would you like to share the program ~ it’s seems powerful

Would be interesting to understand the energy differences for the different transport modes for the equivalent journeys.

buy yourself toxy zr for 3000 bucks foldable version 300 bucks extra. it is as fast as velomobile but cooler in summer

Why telling everybody to look at? 🤦🏻‍♂️

Wow I can't believe you're not saving that much time in the Snoek vs the Bike Friday. For commuting purposes have you considered a faster folding ebike like a Juiced JetCurrent Pro? Perhaps you can charge it and leave it in your office on campus? On my upright it takes nearly 90-100 minutes for my commute each way (20 miles, 1800 ft elevation gain, very few stop signs / signals) and on an ebike it's around 65 minutes. The velomobile is probably the same time as the upright (I too have limited storage options for the velomobile that's why I ride upright bike as it can sit in a cubicle).

I would think the difference wouldve been greater. I usually am going about 8-10mph avg on my brompton where in my velomobiles usually im going 15-17mph avg. Also its worth noting my brompton maxes out around 30mph going down a hill theres no more gears on my 6 speed brompton. Where as my velomobiles both max out over 45mph. But i akso have marathon racers on my brompton.

I was surprised at how much a difference there was with the tri-fold. I guess you really just don't fully feel all the typical speed you have in a velo. Thanks for the video!

Extraordinario viaje ,me diverti.... gracias por el video.... saludos y un fuerte abrazo....

I've been trying to explain this to out recumbent forum and few ppl got the idea. Basically we tried to establish the power curve for ppl allover the country and most of them did not have power measuring capabilities. We used only downhills. This way we were able to compare few different sollutions od bikes without meeting in one place.

whats with all the zones you're talking about in this video?

Thank you !

I sure hope you never have a blowout at that speed. I don't know what the manufacturers rate these tires for speed, but I'm pretty sure 110 KPH is well beyond it. Good luck in the future, my friend.

good old DF, guy tuned his to be 97 watts for 50km/h beating the newest w9s alpha series.

You comment as to the wind tunnel speed might be different then real world, well it’s a year later, I see your videos of you. What’s your top speed in the real world?

someone should make bicycles for fat people.

I'm impressed. In my Hilgo at 50 kph, I'm white knuckle.

if u want to travel and still enjoy high speed and comfort better get toxy zr basic price about $3000 bucks+ $350(foldable option)

where is the snoek ? the title is misleading.

whats the point of it ? get yourself latex tube with mucc of innertube pucture sealant.

buy yourself foldebale toxy zr. why you hurt your prostate for cheap bike ?

👍

Ten minutes is not great , you need to do a consistent pace for 44 to 56 minutes no stopping . That is vo2

Updates? How do you like it so far? I'm considering upgrading for work (and for play), and I'd love to hear what you think after running it for a couple of months. Thanks!

Lezyne Steel Drive is better. More durable, replaceable hose and chuck, quieter and probably cheaper.

Not a Brompton?

My Bulk velomobile is superb in its decent stability at speed!

What I see! The e-bike rider, his seat is to low, wearing street shoes, his feet are positioned on the pedal’s wrong! The motor is doing all the work, must be a 1,000 watt motor. Just after you pass him, he used the motor to accelerate, then starter to pedal. The bike looks like motor is an add-on. Hell, he hardly pedels at all! Bet he has no muscle mass just a very powerful motor. As you keep up with him, he’s used a lot of his battery. Probably in the end game will get him home. But if this was a fifty mile race at 40 miles his battery would go dead. Been riding my bikes 63 years, mostly cross state bicycle tour events of 500 miles in seven days. This guy wouldn’t last the first the first day. You would enjoy a one of theyes cross state tours. Me I ride a Quatrevelo carrying 50 pounds of gear, a degenerating spinal cord keeps me down a lot. So I have no room to talk. Bet this guy has no legs, just motor and ego.

Aamzing ride cam! Thanks for sharing.
