    Motor tinkering & drivechain

    Y ahora las noticias sobre el motor. Este año, el presupuesto para ciclismo se destinó a otro deporte: el wing foiling. Compré una tabla de segunda mano de 75 litros por 400 euros, pero ha sido muy difícil aprender a usarla. Sin embargo, en mi intento por dominar esta maldita cosa, estoy...

    Motor tinkering & drivechain

    Hi Tribe, Been a while since I have posted anything. Haven't quite given up yet. Still tinkering as you can see in the photo. I tried all sorts of cheap Chinese deuralleurs for 12 speed running with the flat-top chain. And oddly enough with AI it told me that the manual sram apex xplr deuralleur...

    London Edinburgh London 2025

    From my understanding, quite a lot of roads have many pot holes and with a very cold expected winter , there will be even more holes in 2025. So be careful.

    145 mm cranks

    The surprising thing for me, with smaller cranks , I've gone for smaller chain rings and faster cadence. Noticeably I prefer circular chainrings over ovals because the v20 feels smoother. There isn't much in it... my best speeds I have nearly beaten were on 165mm cranks but that hurt my knees...

    descending fear

    I found that to make sure your wheels are balanced properly helps and that a circular chainring doesn't influence the balance when putting on power. I found oval chainrings were better for acceleration with bigger cranks but now I have small cranks 150mm then I prefer smaller round chainrings

    Sweden N-S (July 6 - 11)

    I don't think they are breaking records as they are on the old v20s. I guess you could call it an epic life experience. Not many can say they rode the whole of Sweden after recovering from such a condition. I think its absolutely epic!

    My Very First Recumbent is a V20

    What you need is a Chaleco refrigerante! Just put it on back to front and get someone to zip you up like a straight jacket. I guess there must be something like this for recumbents. If I don't get on the bike by 8am I fry so I know the feeling.

    Sweden N-S (July 6 - 11)

    I took a look at previous years. If you go hell for leather with little sleep , you will find a lot of garages shut so stock up with nuts. Sleeping on a hard surface for a couple of hours a night doesn't seem that enjoyable. I guess it depends if you want to set a record. Enjoy the Reindeers
