I believe most 8,9, and 10 I believe most 8,9, and 10 speed shimano/SRAM cassettes can all use (mostly) the same hub. This suggests that you'll probably be able to use the same cassette on the new wheel. Here are two unrelated questions: 1) What are you going to do about brakes? 2)...

My first bike was a HPV MBB. Ha!! :D

Very pretty! Out of Very pretty! Out of curiousity, what tires are you using? How well do they handle the leaves and gravel? Cheers, Charles

11.5 Kg?  (11.5 lbs would be 11.5 Kg? (11.5 lbs would be amazing). I'll point out that even if the weight savings is a pound, buying a carbon seat for lower weight isn't a great use of money - it's total weight (bike + rider) that matter and that's really only when climbing. If you...

Hi, Andrew's suggestion about Hi, Andrew's suggestion about the Stowabike is very good. I considered the same bike (but went with a 20" folder instead). Not only is the seat height good, but you can fold the bike (you'll have to remove at least part of the seat). Components aren't...

 No, I've never ridden one, No, I've never ridden one, but I've heard from people who have ridden both and Cruzbikes are supposed to be much easier. And if it's not true, then you can't say it, right? :D

 I've never measured my x I've never measured my x seam, but we're basically the same height and the same inseam. I would be amazed if you couldn't fit well on the quest.

 what is your inseam? I'm 6'1 what is your inseam? I'm 6'1 too and have a lot of room on my Sofrider. I wear 31 "inseam jeans.

Flevobikes are actually Flevobikes are actually notoriously difficult to learn how to ride. Many of those who can ride then, however can ride then very well. There are those who ride Cruzbikes with similar aptitude (although I'm not quite one, yet.. :)

 I would be surprised if I would be surprised if someone of your weight had any problems with a well built wheel with 24 spokes. That being said, if you're paying a lot for the wheel, I'd go with the higher spoke count. cheers, Charles

Hi, My first concern is seat Hi, My first concern is seat height. You want your inseam + 3 or 4 inches. My second concern is that the conversion kit assumes the rear wheel is wider than the front, and I'm not sure that's true here. Third, and my biggest concern is that the wheel is too...

Hi, I agree with i009899: Hi, I agree with i009899: Without foot retention, you'll notice it when coasting. With clipless pedals (or to a lesser degree with other foot retention), there is no problem at all. I also recommend foot retention once you are used to this bike as it gives a...

Hey Eric, The beard is back, Hey Eric, The beard is back, baby! :D (Sorry, was I supposed to be looking at the bike?) Charles

Tailbox for storage and Tailbox for storage and aerodynamics - That's not a crazy idea at all. I guess the question is how much total storage do you need and can you fit it all in the tailbox?

Hi Andrew, I'm not Hi Andrew, I'm not disagreeing with you, but you need a couple mill to get a super bowl ad to air. Even if we started a KickStarter campaign, I don't think we're going to get there... :D Cheers, Charles

Note to forum admin: This is a post essentially about a competing manufacture. I explain in the post why I think this is relevant for us, but I'll understand if you feel otherwise and remove the post. The big point is that I think this is an opportunity to get recumbents more visible in the US...

O.k.  Here's what I did.  I O.k. Here's what I did. I took the picture of the tandem from above and a Rans Seavo. The Seavo has a wheel base of 79 inches; the Amazon tandem 71; The orange lines, which go from axle to axle are the appropriate lengths and then I scaled the image to fit...
