    Wondering about the fastest, while wide-range, drivetrain

    Hi @Tor Hovland , here are the photos. I am thinking about getting the medium sized chainstay as i have a large , which is too horizontal for me with hills. I think the optimum is something in between. The cranks are 155mm. I'm a bit adventurous with the brake cables but I check for fraying...

    Helmets

    I remember trying those nostril openers and thought it would be a good try on a recumbent... not. Good way of swallowing insects very quickly. Full face faring is the only way. Something like a welders eye protector would be good

    Wondering about the fastest, while wide-range, drivetrain

    I use an x-shifter with a 12 gear configuration and got rid of the brifters and front deuralleur. If you go for this try to buy an extra battery as its pretty useful on a long ride

    Wondering about the fastest, while wide-range, drivetrain

    Go 12 speed... lose the brifters... get some aerobars and attach brake levers. Try to go electronic with blip switches for gear up and gear down and you will be so fast and light.

    Q ring upgrade - Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh......

    If your crank is small, no extra performance at all. I prefer to spin as to mash. And I suspect I've hurt someone's feelings about that. But better not to hurt the knees

    The Cadence Conversations

    I decided to go 12 speed with a 1x48t up front and a sram force 10/33 cassette. It gets me up the 5% and is ideal to flat and downhills without knee ache at the end of the day. I lose 2kilos as I don't use brifters or di2 or a front derailleur however the engine needs a work over before I can...

    v20 vs v20c, Front end feel.

    I couldn't say but technically it can have the thicker tyres and the axle thru bolts gives the v20c strength. I expect over the next couple of years more and more records will be broken. However, I got emotional over my v20. We have had a lot of experiences together. I don't think we will be parting

    If you had a front boom saddle bag it would work as an aero fender but you wouldn't want it too bulge

    V2 vs V20 - what are the differences?

    It's a speedfil F1 hydration unit. There was a post in one of the forum's with another rider who had a disc brake adaptor linked to this hydration unit, but I prefered to run it on the back of the seat. The way I mounted it was rubbish. It basically needs someone to produce a 3d adaptor so that...

    ChatGPT's poem about V20

    I would change steel to Alu and then you have a play with allure and aluminium ... then it would be perfect

    My Very First Recumbent is a V20

    I'm going to chime in, LOL. You probably won't like what I am going to say but it's cheaper to renew the chain every year than to replace other parts more frequently.

    Little tweaks

    My discussion with Mr AI.... impressive i have had a problem with my front wheel on my bike... the carbon rim hit a pothole too hard and cracked the rim , i am probably going to use epoxy glue to repair the crack. I'm sorry to hear about the issue with your bike's front wheel. While epoxy...
