Chain Waxing may be a better Solution I must point out however that WD-40 does have some thin lubricant, but I think the general consensus is that it does not last for long. So those who use it have to apply it often. It's indeed a big debate. But my own personal experience is that it...

@georgec  It's true that the @georgec It's true that the the factory lubricant that came with the new chain is the best. And this is precisely why WD-40 is not recommended for the chain especially when sprayed directly: It is a solvent and it will degrease the chain and leave a thin...

@leakyduck, I read somewhere @leakyduck, I read somewhere that WD-40 is a no-no for bicycle chains here : http://bicycletutor.com/no-wd40-bike-chain/ Some say it's just a myth, may be it is. But personally, when I want a clean, lubricated chain that does not leave dirt on the trousers...

@Eric Winn SRAM 10-speed @Eric Winn SRAM 10-speed mountain bike cassettes have 11-36 combinations. My understanding, (and I'am not a SRAM expert ) is that the beauty of SRAM 10-speed system is that they are compatible as long as you have a matching derailleur pull ratio and chain width/length...

@AndrewBaloga, thank you for @AndrewBaloga, thank you for your post: For 11-32 cassettes you can use SRAM WiFi but for 11-34, 11-36 I was refering to a combination of SRAM Road crankset and a SRAM mountain bike deraillur becuase they have the same cable pull ratios what they refer to in...

SRAM Compact 52/36 chainrings good mix for all round riding I think the best all round compact double setup from SRAM is the 52/36 compact chainring set from SRAM red group. It can be fitted to any SRAM compact 110 BCD crankset. If you combine this with an 11-32 or 11-36 cassette and a mid/long...

Fenders? If you look carefully at the front wheel, you will notice that it has a fender too.

I agree with you John. I was I agree with you John. I was just adding to the thread for those interested. The recumbent world is full of really strange models of bicycles. I think recumbent users tip the scales at experimentation This hand crank idea is one good example

Vendetta for Touring? I saw this in the French recumbent forums and I thought it might answer some of the questions in this thread. Don't know how he attached all those bags though but they look like they strap over the seat. Some neat custom work. alt="Touring V" And a...
