HI Randy, As getting the HI Randy, As getting the right curves for yourself is actually non-trivial, it is not crazy to go about it "by feel." Part of the reason I say this is that it isn't clear to me if one should put the apex to match exactly the peak or not. You might be able to...

Either should work. I usually Either should work. I usually use SRAM because in general they are cheaper for the same quality as Shimano. If you aren't going to hook up a shifter, then I can't differentiate them very much at all. Even if you do hook up a shifter, I don't know that it...

Hi, Your last one I think Hi, Your last one I think would do the trick. Cheers, Charles

Amazon.it does not have a Amazon.it does not have a great selection of derailleurs, or deragliatore if you will as far as I can tell (I can read French, but not Italian, so I'm not guaranteeing anything). You want something that can clamp on to 34.9mm tube. Good luck! Charles

Hi Tim, It was definitely an Hi Tim, It was definitely an event. :) I saw the Hotter than Hell Hundred advertised; I'm not thrilled with high heat... :) Congratulations on the Sofrider! Keep us updated on how that goes for you. Cheers, Charles

I met up with some other recumbent riders and rode the Tour de Bronx. You can read my full write-up here. Cheer, Charles

When I was just starting When I was just starting graduate school, I used to house sit for a couple who had an 11 year old golden retreiver. I had no problem teaching her tricks. Just sayin'.

Hi Andrew, Just remember Hi Andrew, Just remember can/could is not the same thing as should . :) Cheers, Charles

Errr... Just click on Maria Errr... Just click on Maria Kicks @$$. It is the link. :)

Moment of Inertia Hi John, I agree that by putting a larger mass at the center of the wheel, you have created a wheel where the ratio of the moment of inertia to the mass is smaller (moment of inertia is to mass what rotational momentum is to momentum). But I think the moment of inertia...

Hi, Nice write-up.  As far as Hi, Nice write-up. As far as pedal steer, is it possible that you are in a lower gear on the same hill? I notice pedal steer much less when I'm spinning compared to mashing. I'm assuming it takes a bit of time to switch back and forth. Hmmm...

Hi, He doesn't have a front Hi, He doesn't have a front derailleur (yet?). The chain guard goes on the outside (pedal side) of the chainring. Whether or not it would help depends on on which side the chain is falling off. If it is falling off on the pedal side, this should stop it...

Hi, I see a few possible Hi, I see a few possible disadvantages to having one brake lever for both brakes (there are advantages too, but I'm not going to go into them now). None of them may apply, but I'll point them out before you ride, just in case. :) - You have to make sure your...

Hi, Looks very cool.  Thanks Hi, Looks very cool. Thanks for the pictures and the updates. Please keep them coming. Question (and I fell like I've seen the answer to this somewhere): Why do you have both brakes controlled by a single lever? Couldn't you put them on the other side...

p.s. When you say the chain p.s. When you say the chain fell off, you mean off of the front crankset right? Or do you mean it fell off of the rear cassette. If you mean the rear cassette, there are two limit screws on the derailleur that set how far low (near the big cog) and how far...

Hi Ken, Do you know what they Hi Ken, Do you know what they call the guy who graduates last in his class at medical school? Doctor. :) It's not how you rode that's important. It's that you rode. Way to get back up on the horse, err... bike. :) Cheers, Charles

HI Giorgio, As far as the HI Giorgio, As far as the chain falling off, I'm not sure I have any great ideas. Is it when you are in a low gear in back (big cog) or high gear (small cog). If it happens in the small cog, I wonder if the chain is too long? (Just a wild guess). Can...
