Followed Rotor's recumbent instructions (I hope). Is this in the ballpark? (**The hole that now has 4 silver Sharpie dots above it is the factory-etched 1 hole.**) With the right crank at the dead spot I put the ring on the spider so that the tooth-trough directly in line with the factory 1 is...

Congratulations!

What an innovative idea! When would it start?

Another brilliant ratz's rule....this one cracked me up! Great psychology from Inspector Gadget :p:p:p

I'm impressed! Tried getting MTB bar ends on road bars once to no avail. Good job.

I did something similar when i had a bacchetta but those bars were 22.2mm outside diameter. What bar ends are you using that will go on road bars (i'm assuming your bars are 24mm OD)?

I REALLY like both of Abbott's drawings. Maybe make one Nascar jersey and one more subtle Rando style?

Excellent bit of recumbent history, leetaylor!

David it sounds like the Bacchetta suits you! It is indeed a great bike.

Never mind o_O Going to start from scratch and count holes etc etc. It will be interesting to see how it turns out compared to current set up. A good excuse to put off cleaning and waxing chains on the other bikes ;):cool:;)

I see what you're saying about getting your OCP holes marked correctly for later tweaking. Are you setting up the factory marked 1 position per the Rotor recumbent instructions, and then subsequent personal 2, 1, and 3? Or are you using another method?

Yikes. Ok. So the John Tolhurst method (70 deg back from dbc) is no good. Great. Everything i thought i kinda sorta understood is out the window. Back to the garage (workshop) :-(

So, with the pic of Gary's crank moved back the 73deg from dead spot his tallest tooth is supposed to be the one just becoming fully engaged in the chain, do i have that correct? If so, is that tooth the one above TW (on his chainring), the one between EP and CH, or the one above the D in...

castlerobber the red q ring looks really cool along with your other red accents. Even the red velcro strap adds in! Btw that's a great looking bottle mount on the seat behind your head--would you tell us the manufacturer? Rick riding in a Speedo in Mississippi would get you arrested, if not...

Two thumbs up on TwoHubs.com. I've bought from them before and will again. Great customer service.

That was part of my motivation for the flipped then rotated Gary bar configuration: I also felt like my hands could slide off the bars if I relaxed my grip a little, and especially if I hit a rough patch of road. I had them positioned like yours, with the grips pointed almost straight down since...

For better or worse I look at handlebars from a different perspective. Here are Gary2's on a Silvio 1.5. Odd in appearance but very ergonomic, comfortable, and allow for a relaxed grip when resting the hands on the inner curve of the hooks.

Yes I see what you mean about the ramps of the Sweep vs the Gary. The Sweep may be worth a try. I am going to wind up with a handlebar collection to be proud of when I get through!

Tks ratz. Tried a different bar on my Sofrider (Soma Junebug, comes in 31.8) to see if it would do for the V or S but the Gary 2 is much much better so hoping to use that. The Sweep OS looks similar in shape but is a lot wider (610mm for Sweep vs 530mm for Gary2, just over 3in) at the ends...

In actual use, would there be any problem using a shim to fit the Gary2 to a 31.8?
