I've been using Crank Bros. pedals on my bikes. I hate SPDs. I had a pair that came apart on me during a ride & I don't want anything that I can pull straight...
Robert, Yes, you can use them with recessed cleats. That was one of the reasons for buying them. Recessed shoes make it alot easier to exit the Baron. Due to...
Anyone in the UK found a make and model of workstand that is up to clamping a bike up in a workable-on position? Most I've looked at dont seem to have the...
I am looking for some advise about increasing seat comfort. I have the standard plastic seat back with the 2" open cell foam pad, the seat back raised to its...
Hi Robert I think you answered your own question. If you keep your cadence (spin) high you will generally have fewer muscle issues. It sopunds like you where...
How often do Speedplay pedals like the frog need to be lubricated? The Speedplay website says you need to occasionally inject lubricant into them for the...
Hi Terry, You're probably right. I am new to recumbents, bought my Baron used in January (a whole story by itself)& yesterday was my 1st century ride. I was...
OK now I have the picture. You where probably scrunching your stomach and pulling on the handlebars while jamming your butt into the seat trying to maintain...
Also, your seat size. Barons have a medium and large. Definitely get a head rest. Check out the Novosport site for all your seat and headrest stuff ...

Hi Terry, I think you're right. I was pushing hard to try to maintain my speed. I think that the boom length is close. I had considered shortening it a bit,...

Im not coordinated enough to be able to reach under the seat or behind my head so I keep my watter bottle on the tiller. For a cage bottle I use the "Twofish...
Hi Marion, I don't think that I can use Fastbacks no drill bottle system on their Double Century, but I'll check. Your Tiller looks different then mine. How...
Terry, Fabulous ideas! I hadn't seen that water bottle cage before. I will definitely give that a try. And the retractable badge clip is genious! I'm going on...
I've been looking over my rear wheel setup. I have disk brakes & my rear wheel doesn't appear to have any dishing. (Rim centered on hub) With the wheel...
I just fold a piece of Velcro (soft stuff) around the bladder tube to make a "Flag" and then put a square of velcro on the side of the seat. The hose then...
Are we talking about the same thing? The rim should be centered on the hub, but not necessarily be centered between the spoke flanges. Dishing refers to ...
John, Your right,I mean it is centered on the spoke flanges. I didn't look to see if it was centered on the hub, but I guess that it can't be since it isn't...
Sounds just like what my mechanic did when he was building up my new xlow. He said that it's most likely due to the fact that these bikes are built by humans...
Great pics! I've been very interested in the X-Low. Your pics show very tight tire clearance, front and rear. Is that fixed, or are there versions of the...
I think I could have used a smaller rim with a smaller tire in the front to allow a fender on the front wheel, but I wanted something road worthy (as opposed...
Hello All, I am hot on the trail of buying a Baron and I'd like to ask some questions of the membership. 1) Which model of Baron did you buy, and a) did you...
I just came back from my first real ride with it... This thing is a stealth road missile! No drivetrain noise whatsoever, and that bmx front tire takes care of...
Answers below: Terry ... I have the standard model because I bought it used and got a good deal. If I was to purchase new I would have gotton the X-Low...
... I asked Optima for an X-low with standard Baron chain routing and they only charged me 25 euros for this option. I did place my order before their...
