    Sofrider on Tacx Neo

    I've tried to mount our Sofrider on the Tacx Neo we recently bought so that Elisa and I can easily use it. But the fork seems too wide. Any suggestions? -Cliff

    FD pulley on S40

    It seems like it is too far outboard. Any suggestions on how to move it in so that the angle between the cable stalk and the pulley is the same as the angle between the pulley and the FD? -Cliff

    clutch derailleurs

    For those using MTB derailleurs, do you find an advantage or disadvantage of using a clutch RD? How do they work with oval chainrings? -Cliff

    sealing Schwalbe Pro One Tubeless

    After I got my Acebike wheels, I put Schwalbe Pro One tubeless tires on them. The tires started getting punctures about every third ride. Within weeks I had a puncture in the front tire that prevented the tire from holding any more than about 40 psi even though the wheel had 2 ounces of sealant...

    derailleur advice

    I need to get a new rear derailleur for my S30. I've been using a SRAM X7, and I find that it often mis-shifts, so I'd like something better. I'm running 10-speed, 11-36 rear, 34/50 compact. I wouldn't mind going to a cassette with a 40 or 42, but I'd rather not have to switch to 11-speed...

    crash advice

    I was hit by a GMC Denali on the way home from the office this evening. I'm OK, just a contusion on my right thigh and a bit of a sore right knee. But the front wheel of my S30 went under the front wheel of the Denali. The wheel is shot and the RD hanger is badly bent. I suspect that the RD may...

    I want to get a drive wheel for our Sofrider that will take a disc brake. Any recommendations? Also would appreciate recommendation for disc and brake. What is on the QX100? -Cliff

    Hands-free

    I've been trying to ride my S30 hands-free lately with limited success. Best case so far is 4 pedal rotations. I can coast for a a while by hugging the frame with my legs. Any tips on how to ride the S30 hands-free? Lifting my legs seems to help a little. -Cliff

    has anyone tried bars like this?

    The stock bars on my Silvio need to go. They are too high, and are cueing me to pull/hang on them, which is causing soreness that will likely turn into serious tendonitis if not corrected. I've attached a side view of how they look. I've read the forum posts on this topic, but I don't like the...

    Do you push or do you pull?

    When climbing or sprinting or just trying to avoid foot-steer, do you pull on the bars or push on them, or both? I have mostly been pulling on them, and I find that my arms get really sore after longer rides or rides with a lot of climbing. I've started doing more pushing, or pushing on one side...

    HPV Fun Day at Hellyer Velodrome

    I entered five races at the HPV Fun Day at Hellyer Park Velodrome: 200m flying sprint, 4-lap race for newbies, first man out, 8-lap race, and 30-min race. This was my first experience with racing (except for the ad hoc race that occasionally happens when an old guy on a recumbent passes a...

    electric assist

    I'm interested in retrofitting my wife's Sofrider with an electric assist. We'd like it to be easy to swap the non-electric wheel in and out so that she doesn't have to carry the extra weight on flat rides. So I figure maybe an e-assist for the non-drive-wheel would be best. But don't really...

    Mt Diablo ride with BARC

    Rode up to the the Mount Diablo Junction Ranger Station with Bay Area Recumbent Cyclists yesterday. Had a lot of fun with ten other recumbent riders. The weather was nice, with thin, high overcast and temperatures about 58 degF (14 degC). Here's are a couple pix of the view a short way below the...
