I have enough trouble getting I have enough trouble getting the back wheel on and off my Grasshopper. This is when one misses DF bikes.

"Perhaps it was wind on my "Perhaps it was wind on my Silvio practice routes that made me feel slow" Too much baked beans. On a DF, you get jet propulsion. "I can't wait for the next century" Good grief, it's only 2013! Anyway, some of us are still waiting for our...

Early on in my experience of bents, I discovered one major advantage of the DF format. If you want to do something mechanical to a DF bike, you can turn it over and it is very stable upside-down. I have to unscrew the headrest from my Grasshopper, and then the fight starts. The handlebars are...

I agree.  On the I agree. On the conversion-kit, I can't yet do no-hands. I can do open-palms, but with hardly any power. Too much power gives you pedal-steer, whether you want to go round the corner or not.

I sometimes ride my I sometimes ride my conversion-kit and sometimes my Grasshopper. I can switch easily. However, a few months ago, I got on someone's DF racer and immediately fell off. Actually, I think that the main problem I have with the conversion-kit is that the seat is a lot...

I use my Grasshopper to go to work, and come back in the dark, through the borderlands between London and Essex in the UK. The one thing that really annoys me about riding at night is on-coming headlights. It seems that almost all British drivers use their full-beams all the time, and about...

Waiting is hard to do. I got Waiting is hard to do. I got a conversion-kit. "I can handle it," I said, "just take it out at weekends, just for a laugh, but it's okay, I can handle it" But the conversion-kit just wasn't enough. Now here I am. Hollow-eyed. Got the shakes and...

AndrewBaloga is definitely AndrewBaloga is definitely right. The heel slings are great. On the conversion-kit, trying to simultaneously brake and change down is annoying. I always used to be annoyed by that. I think my Silvio will be a fragrant pig.

I hardly need to hold the I hardly need to hold the handlebars now. Almost no-hands. Clips help. The conversion is still sharing the Grasshopper's home-made heel-clips. I am waiting for the heel-slings from Hostel Shoppe. Having said all that, today it had a sudden attack of the...

I had that problem.   I had that problem.

I have a conversion kit, of I have a conversion kit, of which I will get rid when I get the Silvio. I have a Grasshopper which I will keep. I plan to own fewer than three human-powered vehicles. The only thing I dislike about the Grasshopper is it's lack of speed. Over the years, I...

That's it.  Swallowed hard That's it. Swallowed hard and went for it. Apparently Mr Tolhurst can't bash Silvios out fast enough and I'm gonna have to wait. Anyway, thanks for the discount. That about pays for the shipping. Nice gesture. I bought just the frame because I want hydro...

With the intention of going With the intention of going to the shops, I was going to transfer the pedals from the conversion-kit to the Grasshopper. This did not happen. Somehow, the conversion-kit stole the Grasshopper's mirror. And the lock. I hung a bag over the seat back. I can't...

The cleats would not fit.  I The cleats would not fit. I mangled them quite badly and they would not fit. AndrewBaloga is right. I eagerly await heel-slings from Hostel Shoppe. In the meantime, I keep transferring Grasshopper's pedals to the conversion kit and back again.

I have home made heel-clips I have home made heel-clips on the Grasshopper and I transferred them to the conversion and this helped the handling. Almost able to ride no-hands. Now I keep having to transfer these pedals from the Grasshopper to the conversion and back again. AndrewBaloga...

Consider boxing.  Differences Consider boxing. Differences in shoes, shorts or gloves are not significant, so boxers compete on ability alone. At the other extreme are cycle or motor racing. A weaker driver can win with a better car. Can we not call these races team events? Can we not...

I put more air in.  This made I put more air in. This made it a bit less weird at speed. If I want to get harder tyres I will have to get rid of these mtb wheels and get road ones. I have been doing figure 8s in the street. I know I should have started with this. I just got on and...

Slings sounds good, Slings sounds good, especially with patches for sandals. People on two wheels are worried about being unable to put their feet down in an emergency, which does not bother trike-riders, so they are happy with cleats and shoes.
