I WANT TO THANK EVERYONE FOR THE QUICK AND CONCERNED REPLIES THAT I RECEIVED. IT LOOKS LIKE THE SPEEDPLAY FROGS ARE THE ANSWER BASED ON THE OPINIONS I...
Arthur, If I were you, I would try to test the "Frogs" before you buy them. Some folks love those Froggies but Im not one of them. They do have lots of Float ...
JOSE, YOU HAVE PINPOINTED SOME OF THE THINGS THAT I WAS CONCERNED ABOUT. BUT, THERE DOESN'T SEEM TO BE ANY OTHER SOLUTION TO GIVE ME THE FLOAT THAT I NEED TO...
A question about the frogs. . .I thought about getting these a year ago, but I was concerned about the "release angle" being too steep. My LBS recommended the...
... The only time I had problem with the release angle on my frogs was when I was wearing my very wide sole MTB shoes on my bent. But I don't have any...
I use the Frog pedals on a Large Giro. Overall I am very happy with the pedals, ease of locking in as well as the release process. I had a bit of trouble...

Bacchetta Bikers: Thanks to the person who suggested that I contact Calhoun Cycles for a kickstand adapter for my Giro. It's on and works well. I found it...
... I used Frogs before switching to Bebops. I prefer Bebops to Frogs as they are easier to unclip from quickly, unclip to the inside as well as the outside,...
Hey all; I just added the RARE 2k.04 rally to the calender feature of this group. The Rochester Area Recumbent Enthusiasts rally is one of the highlights of...
Anyone knows what size box I need to ship a partially disassembled Strada? I'm going to Hawaii in a couple of weeks, and need to ship my bike. I was thinking...
I'm thinking of buying a strada for a tourer/commuter. They ride great and the dealer says they are good "all around" bikes. Any suggestions on how to fit a...
I recently traveled with my Strada to Paris and back. It fit in a "regular" sized bike box, although it was a large one. The frame is pretty long! I ended up...
Hrm. The stock front fork doesn't have a lot of clearance. You could try a clip on fender. Not sure if that'll work or not. As far as a fat tire, you're ...
... And boy, were your legs tired! ;-) ... Yup. I figure I would have to remove the right side crank, to keep the chainrings from gnawing the box. ... I...
I have a constant squeak when the chain is on the smallest cog of the cassette on my 2003 Strada. Has anyone experienced this problem and found a solution? ...
Hello everyone. I finally found the right recumbent list. I am new to bents. I have done my share of road riding in the past with the Twin Cities Bicycle Club,...
... I had the same problem at first. Check your chain idler (that skateboard wheel like thingy) to see if its spinning freely. If your bike is one of the...

... And my arms... sheesh, what a swim. (And with a bike strapped to my back, too!) ;) ... It's a tapered flange, machined from cro-moly steel. Basically a...
Hi Guys- Need some help again please. The bolt that cinches down the flip-it on the front bars keeps backing out a bit requiring me to re-tighten it before...
This is what I did, and so far it's working well. I bought another allen head bolt 45mm long of the same thread. I can't recall what the thread is, but its...
Hi: The other solution is the ultimate fix (I'm impressed). What I've done thus far is use locktite blue and so far no problems. I also put it on the screw ...
Are you talking about the "Flip-it," on a RANS, or the Glide Flex on a Bacchetta? My sense is that you are talking about the GlideFlex, so the following is...
Glide Flex, yes that's it...thank you. I knew it wasn't called a flip-it(I'm a RANS owner also) but couldn't remember the name. Anyway, thanks for all the...
... weekend. Denny I can't wait to see the pics of your new tailbox! I'm still playing w/the seat back recline on my bike but when I get that dialed in I'm...
