You got my vote For best post ever. (sigh...I really needed that) Pete

Heh Heh Heh It's funny because it's usually me typing angry.

Cable Buffers etc. Hey Rich, The rubber tubes, if they are split down the side, are meant to wrap the cables to prevent rubbing at the front of the frame. Both of mine fell off whilst riding despite my efforts to check them every time I started a ride. As the owner of a newly...

36 - Risky Hey Bill (WOB), I couldn't find any mention of alternate cassette usage and was happy to discover 34t SRAM/Shimano written in the manual. 36t felt a little too risky, rare and not that much better than 34t. From my experience, Murphy was probably trying to fix his bike when...

Shimano M770 success I ended up trying a higher-end Shimano M770. Mostly because it was convenient and I wanted to keep the weight down. The largest cogs are 26/30/34, so it really has 1.5 more low end gears than the original (28). It installed cleanly although I had to dispense with the...

Tangent - Traction and Posture Not relevant but might be useful... I was talking to a guy on the weekend who said 'I know how to fix back problems'. He then described how his chronic lower back and sciatic nerve issues were cured with spinal traction. He still hangs upside down a couple...

Hi, Has anyone changed their cassette on a Quest 2.0/3.0 (dual drive)? Specifically a 34 tooth large cog? I'm a little uncertain about which one to get. Facts (Quest 2.0 ): - 28 tooth largest cog - Supplied dual drive manual says 34 tooth - YBN-SFL-9 chain (not SRAM /...

1st attempt was an alum strip Hey Eric, Thanks for your suggestion. My first attempt was an alum strip inspired by Jack's version but I thought it a little too bouncy and too difficult to adjust. Although the mount is velcro there are still bends in the strip that prevent it from being...

Rotate the shifter I wasn't ready to turn the stem around for space reasons but I found rotating the shifter so that the cables passed over the handlebars saved my knee from striking it. I can't see the 9x gear indicator but given there is only one front chain ring there is no risk of...

Hi, I've modified my newly acquired Quest 2.0 by extending the seat back and adding a headrest... alt="Seat back extension and head rest - side view" I'm 183cm (6ft) and found the Quest to be designed for riders smaller than myself. In particular the seat top would stick into...

Replacement Cassette? I prefer to 'winch' myself up a hill with high cadence as my knees aren't the best. And I can't see me doing lots of high-speed on my Quest 2 given a review saying it's a little unerving. Upon asking at a bike shop today about getting a bigger cog for the cassette...

Start small I say Without knowing anything about your situation I think you should start small and buy a Sofrider. Maybe even something second-hand. The Silvio 2 looks kind of advanced and will likely take longer to master than starting on an entry-level CB. Also, a CB might not suit you...

Wheel Size? Recumbent in a suite case. Nice. Is that a 20 inch wheel? It looks bigger. Pete

Or Not Hmm... now that I think about it I guess the seat gives the rider something to push against. I really wish they sold recumbents where I live. Pete

Opposing Force Loss Interesting read psychling. I can appreciate DF bike has the 'fall on' advantage. I've not ridden a recumbent but I think DF also has an advantage when the rider is in the saddle. In particular, a recumbent rider needs to expend more energy gripping and pulling on...

A flawed idea? I've reached the conclusion that an oversize front wheel is flawed because there are easier ways to achieve the same effect. Specifically, the main advantage would be to get a lower center-of-gravity without sacrificing front wheel size. Which can be achieved with frame design...

2mm spacer x2 "you may need to put a 2mm axle spacer washer on <strike>h</strike>each side" - Doug Burton (#4)

Hi, Has anyone tried putting an oversize un-suspended fork and wheel on a frame that used to have front suspension? EG: 24" wheel on a 20" folding bike OR 26" wheel on a 24" kids mtb I figure the frame orientation would be maintained if the original shocks had 2" travel. And...
