Unfortunately the bottom bracket on my Aero has gone from making an occasional clicking noise to a persistent light gringing. The bike was built up with a...
118 is correct. You need a newer bottom bracket tool to change it- the older Park BBT-1 won't reach the splines. Reminds me of a sick but funny story- a gal on...
My Aero bottom bracket clicked at first. It was ever so slightly loose. My LBS tightened it a little and the noise was gone and hasn't returned after 4K miles....
I was able to pick up my new 2006 Corsa on Saturday May 8. After a seven mile test ride to get it set up, I loaded it into my car and headed home. Sunday. The...
There are two bolts that hold the seat to the clamp. Tighten those up, then tighten the clamp. That will keep the seat from creeping on you. Yes, you'll get...
John, Just a word of advice, give your muscles time to adapt. Especially the knees. Spin is in, as is spinning up a hill instead of powering up. Listen to your...
Hi John, The first recumbent I rode was a Strada and that's what I switched to from a DF. I was disappointed at first because the new muscles I used were not...
I've been looking at the Giro 26 in my research to purchase my first bent for a 30 day trip to Iceland in summer of 2007. I'm six and a half feet tall and...
John, What Denny and others said: Give it time and they will come....the muscles that is. When I got my first bent and hit the first hill on my normal...
John, Your story is becoming a classic example these days. Highracer recumbents are being recognized by upright roadies as a fast alternative. Roadies don't...
Trevor, Here is something to keep in mind, the Giro-26 weight limit of 275lbs includes rider and gear. This is true for the entire BACCHETTA line of bikes and...

Hi Trevor, Jose did a nice review on the Sun EZ Speedster. You can find it here: http://www.bentrideronline.com/ Scroll down on the right bar of bike reviews...
I was about to say something similar until I read Mark's comments below. First, I would not go on a self contained tour (especially Iceland) on any stock...
... I think that is a good thing because IMHO the Sun EZ Speedster was a very crude design, poor handling and heavy. It is not surprising that conventional...

You would be a lot better off with a Cycle Genius Raven or Falcon http://www.cyclegenius.com/main.htm They are a much better bike than the Sun Ken ... From:...
I tend to agree with Ken's statement on quality, plus their bikes are still in production. $425 is not bad though and the rather heavy Sun would be a good...
Er, How much does your Litespeed weigh compared to that Corsa? If you have picked up 5-6 pounds more bike weight, then you can expect to go slower and suffer...

Actually my litespeed setup is only about 2 pounds lighter than my Corsa. Strange, but I use beafy 30 spoke wheels, aerobars, etc, so the Litespeed is not...
Hi Trevor I think you would be hard pressed to come up with a tougher set of wheels than a well built (high and even spoke tension) 48 spoke Phil Wood hub, ...
Mr. Longcrier, I hope you are doing well. I am going to try and get a century in on Sunday. Saturday I will ride with Raul, so it will be a slow 60 miles....
