    1UP rack?

    Yes, with one qualification I have used a 1up rack for years for many types of recumbents. The brace that goes on the end that would go over the front wheel would have to be adjusted so that it would catch the forward end of the wheel, as it will not clear the derailleur. The qualification...

    cleat position and leg extension

    couple of thoughts To find the approximate length for me, I put my heel on the pedal (with shoes on) and adjust so my leg is locked. With my . cleats as close to my heel as possible that works pretty good for me. In normal cycling I have a slight bend in my leg at full extension. If pedals...

    Vendetta decals

    I see per another post the Silvio got new decals. Hopefully they do something similar with the V. When my new V frameset came in last week I immediately took it to a specialty shop for a change on all the decals and some trim paint.

    Need Tire Recommendation For Quest 559

    my recomendation http://www.biketiresdirect.com/product/continental-gatorskin-26-inch#m_pd_spec I have found these to be very durable and puncture resisistant. These are approx. 1 1/8" wide, you won't be disappointed. With suspension wider is not necessarily better.

    new type handlebars for Quest

    Volae bars Yes, they are aluminum, BUT, they are the strongest most rigid of all the open cockpit bars on the market. I've tried them all. Strength wise they are well suited for this application.

    Quest 3.0 for sale *SOLD*

    Bar & e-ring, etc. If you like the more extended reach the bars should be fine. The grips can be moved forward several inches yet for longer arms, the crank can be extended for longer legs. To clear the legs with the stock bar, the bar must be closer to the body or higher up, which then puts...

    new type handlebars for Quest

    A recumbent friend bought a new Quest 3.0 but can't get the handle on it. She is older so maybe that has something to do with it. Anyway, she asked if I'd sell it for her. I said yes but may I try it as I've never had that opportunity. The stock steering setup didn't suit me either, so I...

    Yuba Mundo cargo bike donor

    Better choice in cargo bike? wouldn't the lower frame height in this model be a better choice for a conversion? This is the Boda Boda ST model: http://yubabikes.com/cargobikestore/cargobikes/99-boda-boda-step-through.html

    Want to buy a Silvio

    Bifocals/lower seat recline Chances are good that you will need single vision glasses to focus. I normally wear trifocals, but have single vision (for distance) glasses for recumbent riding. Others use contact lenses.

    Vendetta vs Silvio

    update?? Would you care to give an update on your experience with the Vendetta? I am new to the board so if you've already posted elsewhere here please forgive me. I owned a Musashi also at one time so would be interested in how they compare. Currently I ride a Meta bike pimped out for speed...

    seat back adjuster moves

    I am prepping a Quest 3.0 for a fellow bentrider, so the machine is new to me. I am a mechanic so do have some aptitude for these things. The seat back does not keep it's adjustment in the most reclined setting, (first hole closest to seat). With everything tightened up the seatback pushes...

    Riding low recline angles w/prescription lenses

    Normally I use tri-focals in everyday use but while riding w/low seat angles I use clear single vision lenses. For daylight I use fitover sunglasses. It is less expensive than having a prescription pair of sunglasses also.
