Hi Hasse, What kind of fork with this bike? Is it the new carbon ? I hope receive soon my new Baron, with the same specifications of the Xlow but in XS model...
Hi Romuald I think this is the new carbon fork but I cannot confirm that to you as I think this bike was a special set up. I understand you are waiting for a...
Ok, It seems to be good now ;o)) Hasse, I have tried twice to answer, but my message not appear on board. I am in waiting of a frame of XS with the same...
Hi Romuald I have just mounted an Ultegra triple 165mm crank set. After one "test" ride I see clearly that it is so much easier for me to keep a good spinning...
Hi Hasse, Take time to accustom with your 165 and you will be amazed how they work well in all situations. Now, I am often out of gears on flat, that never...
Hi all I raced last sunday 130 km with 165mm crank arms (Ultegra 6503) compared to the 172,5 I used to have. It was super even though I have only used them...
Hi again I would like to go for a carbon tail fairing. Experienses towards weight, speed, noise, handling (strong sidewind), "attention"? Do anyone ride with a...
Hi Hasse Well, did you win? ;-) You are beginning to make me reconsider my preference for 180mm cranks! By the way, you look exactly like me. I copied the...
Hi Tom Thanks:-) YES I did race 100% and I did win. This race was against...myself and I was very happy and proud that I could do this quite tough route. I ...
Hello Hasse, I have the fiberglass Optima tailfairing on my X-Low Baron and I recall that it weighed over 1800 grams before I started trimming it to fit my...
Folks, I am getting aquainted with a Baron I just got. I would love a lower, snugger, closer to the chest handlebar position. Is anybody using a FlipIt or...
... lower, snugger, closer to ... TerraCycle Glideflex stem ... I AM USEING ONE OFF OF A BURLEY HEPCAT IT IS AJUSTABLE AND FIT FINE ALL YOU NEED IS A BUSHING...
Geoff, Bro' Don and I use the TerraCycle Glideflex stem to raise the height (we're FOGs). Since it adds height to the stem, I'm not sure if the angular...
From Flying Furniture Cycles: Hasse, I used an M5 tailfairing on the BARON I raced recently. It works well. 1kg weight, adds speed on every test I've done,...
Folks, Have any of you had trouble with hydraulic brake levers sucking air due to the angle they live at on a recumbent? I have a pair of shimano dual control...
My fastest average times to work were one MPH faster with my first Optima carbon tailfairing then without a tailfairing (26.5 vs 25.5 over 14 mile route). I...
Never had any trouble with my xt hydraulic levers. Good tip is to use a rubber band(s) to hold the brakes on while the bike is not in use. I don't understand ...
Gavin, all, After a bit of tooling around tonight, I have discovered (to my surprise), that the adjustment screw for altering the lever's reach also adjusts...
Hi Ian Do you have any photoes of the Baron with M5 tailfairing I would be happy to see them. Chers regards Hasse ... well. ... noise - use ... on bumps ... ...
Geoff, Ok, I sat the Baron on the floor, removed the seat pad and adjusted the glidflex set screw to its minimum. Using a plumb line (a hand level held ...
Ok, ok. Sorry about that. I re-setup and remeasured. Setup: bike resting on floor, seat all the way upright, glidflex stem adjusted as far down as it will...
Marc, Wow, thanks for taking the time to do this for me.... I REALLY appreciate it! That gives me a good idea of how low the Glidflex can go. I have to get...
My front der. doesn't seem to want to let the chain drop to the front chainring. I can baby it down most of the time by torquing the shifter past its index...
Greg, the problem is that the small ring is too close to the boom, making it impossible for the derailleur cage to move inward enough for shifting. The obvious...
Hi Hasse - I also have had herniated disk surgery. I live in an area were there are no Baron or M5 dealers. How did you decide on a Baron vs. an M5? Thanks! -...
