I was able to change my flat tire and cleaned the cassette. Got it all back together and it all works. I'm glad my first flat occurred where I could change the tire in my garage. It is not so scary now. There was a hole in the tube. I did not check inside the wheel for anything goofy. Hope I do...

I've been wearing a variety of different shorts. No biking shorts with all the padding. I do have a couple of slim fitting outdoor shorts. One by Columbia and another by Zoic that I like. I tried yoga shorts and just bought a pair of recumbent shorts from bend it cycling. These are mainly...

I put on new Conti tires and then rode 161 miles over 4 days. Racked the bike to come home. When I got home the front tire was flat. I also had my first slide with the bike. The bike is fine and so am I. The front tire hit some concrete and just slid out. I wasn't going very fast so no big...

Today I added a hydro rail double seat backet by Orgin 8 to my Sofrider. Fit like a charm. I'll put my water bottles here and the two brackets on the back of the seat will store my tube etc and phone, I.D. Etc. Getting the Sofrider ready for a Backpack off road cycle tour in London, Ky through...

I am waiting on the Woodchipper bar to arrive. In the meantime, I am taking another trip to ride on the little Miami bike trail this Mon-Thu. The bar should be at my doorstep when I get home. I am also changing out a few things on my Sofrider, mainly waterbottle mounting and storage.

I liked the video. A good refresher. I use the side method. Helps me keep the chain etc where I can get it all back together.

Just purchased used Salsa Woodchipper 2 bars from EBay. Yea! Already trimmed one inch. I also used a method similar to Robert O to mount my cage under the seat. Pouring rain here so goofing around with the bikes.

I emailed Robert. There is no definitive eta on the new bars. There are a Salsa Woodchipper 2 clone. He also said the waterbottle cages comes with 5mm bolts for use with the headrest mount. Guess I'll look at the Lezyne Flow cages. I don't want the cages behind my headrest. I have an under seat...

"Basically, chest out; shoulders back; measure width." My shoulder width is 15" as measured by a friend. I am measurement challenged. I like to measure several times and still get it wrong. I think I might go with the Giant cage for the boom and 2 cruzbike cages for the seat.

I just finished riding 150 miles on my S30 over 3 days. I loved the 150mm cranks. I found the seat ok and headrest ok. I did have two issues. 1. I have a water bottle mounted on the slider but my legs would hit the bottle. The condensation also dripped. I looked at mounting a cage under the...

Glad you are still here and riding. I rode 50 miles today on my S30. It is a great ride.

My setup looks similar to yours. My boom length should be 30" by the fit suggestions. It is 34" so I need to cut my boom to get closer to the pic provided by Ratz. Maybe check your boom length? Interesting head rest! Ingenuity is best. On a separate note...I am hoping today's mail brings my...

Great video!

I just sent off the email to bikesmithdesign for the Apex crank at 150mm. Now, I wait.

I stopped by my bike shop to discuss the shorter cranks. He is wanting to use the Sugino cranks 152mm and to change out the bb to a square taper. There were other details about a different tooth size for hills and I think modifying the Sugino triple to a double. He said he doesn't modify the...

Thanks, Robert. The explanation I needed. It makes sense.

I rode my Sofrider 111 miles last week on the Little Miami Trail in Ohio. Great ride. I actually rode 61 miles in one day to celebrate my sister's 60th birthday. One of our close friends was able to jump on my bike and pedal right off. The other had the wobbles and wants to try a different...

The arm reach is the length from your armpit to the center of your palm. So, if you used this measurement your arms would be fully extended; if this measurement is used from the seat back to the handlebar? Correct? Is this the way most folks ride (with arms extended)? About what degree of bend...
