NoCom = 6 mph faster than Highwheeler

NoCom with Renn disc and standard spoked front wheel, FSA triple crank up front. The data: Standard heart rate at cruising speed 160-175. At this constant HR, speed on Volae Team on way in, 21-25 mph. Speeds on NoCom 27-32mph. Bottom line: The team now gets used when I need to haul in clothes and groceries, when I want to relax and smell the flowers, or when I expect rain. Fine, fast-ish bike, but not even in the same league as the NoCom when it comes to speed. NoCom is also a better climber, as it is stiffer than any of the single-tube stick bikes out there. My wife (also an owner of one of each) puts it this way, "I don't understand why this is even up for discussion." Let's just say I've never seen her go 34mph on a flat on any highwheeler... In short, don't believe the BS. There's no comparison. Anyone who tells you a highwheeler is even close, speedwise, is flat out lying. Buy a highwheeler because you like the comfort. Or you like the speed compared to the rest of the FOG trash out there. Or you don't want to spend any time building it up a carbon-fiber sled or tweaking it to perfection. But don't buy it if you want the fastest stick around. Yo Spidermonkey, Even with your tricks of underinflating the tires and having the brakes drag, my ReBike is still SLOWER than your NoCom.

DEAL WITH IT! Yo Ed Gin! I wouldn't mind being a bit faster than I already am. I am prepared to deal with it! Unfortunately, I have one of the world's highest blood pressures (240/120) and I also have an extremely high heart rate (120) and so I have to take many blood pressure medications and a beta blocker which keeps a governor on my heart rate. I am also getting older and am anticipating falling into the grave fairly soon. In short, I am a mess. If only I could be like you - full of vim and vigor! Please God - why is life so unfair! But I ask you, will a low racer be faster than my Tour Easy? Please get back to me immediately on this as I may soon be slumbering at the local cemetery at which point your fastest bike will no longer concern me. The main thing at this point in my life is that I would like to be faster on my bike like you - even if it kills me. Hells Bells, life is not worth living if you can't be fast on your bike! -- Ed Dolan the Great - Minnesota aka Saint Edward the Great - Order of the Perpetual Sorrows - Minnesota |

He behaves like all criminals do. I will advise Jim McNamara that the criminal vandal troll is back. But what is really laughable is that there is no left here to scare off. This group died and went to hell last March after Ed Gin (Johnny Rebike) effectively did his thing. There is no one left here who gives a damn about this newsgroup. Even Tom Sherman got disgusted and left. All newsgroups require moderators. Without a moderator, the lowest common denominator will prevail. Ed Gin is the lowest common denominator. -- Ed Dolan the Great - Minnesota aka Saint Edward the Great - Order of the Perpetual Sorrows - Minnesota |

I will stay on my Tour Easy and plug along in my inimitable manner. Since my only destination is the local cemetery, I am not too concerned about ever going fast. After all, there is no hurry about getting to the local cemetery since once you are dead you are dead for all eternity. -- Ed Dolan the Great - Minnesota aka Saint Edward the Great - Order of the Perpetual Sorrows - Minnesota |
