Folks, Can anyone please tell me what the choices are for Baron rear wheel sizes? It seems there are lots of choices for nice wheels in 571, but not so many...
Has anyone tried the powertap hub and wheel for their training sessions. Sounds like a good aid in determining workout levels and fitness. Any help would be...
Matt, I have seen Barons with 20"(406), 26"(559), and 26"(650c)rear wheels. At the moment I have 2 Barons...one has a 26"(559)clincher and the other has a...
Don, Thanks for the comments. I am looking to build a bike which is as light and fast as possible, but is comforatble and practical enough to tour, commute and...
Hi Matt, Good to see another aussie getting a Baron. Whereabouts are you located? I'm in Brisbane. Before forking out good money on an expensive Pantour hub,...
Deffinately one of the oldest generation discbrakeforks for the Baron. My advice: Sent it back to your supplier. If not possible, push adent in the forkleg...
Dries, I`ve decided to fix the fork, but I`m not going to use it on the Baron. I`ll put the fork in my spare parts bin and buy a new fork since I need to order...
Good luck with your project! Best regards, Dries Baron Btw. the reason for the backward mounted dropouts is it holds the hub better, copared to a backwards...
my best felow I need to know how ICE brandt hpv trike , have you expireance , can you tel me . Thank s regaard UR . I want to zie what the differnt with optima...
... By ... Hi Don I built some forks with reversed dropouts like you have, for the same reason Dries mentions, particularly when using a front disk brake. ...
... If I understand the question, you want to know how ICE trikes compare to the Challenge trike. A better place to answer your questions would be at the BROL...
Peter, I did some more testing with my Pantour hub/wheel and found that the wheel will work, but the screw for the trajectory adjustment needs to be in the...
Optima now posts a very fuzzy picture of a small yellow tailbox in the bags section, anyone know anything about this product? I've heard nothing from Optima...
... I only know Novosport has made a Baron-specific tailbox wich isn't on their site ( www.novosport.de ) yet. It could well be this one, but I thought it...
I recently updated the M5 size medium seat on my Aero to a size large. So, I have an extra lightly used M5 seat that needs a good home. It is in good shape,...
When you "drop" the chain on a Baron, what you are doing is eliminating the 2 small idler wheels on the return side of the chain. Without the return side ...
Don, Fabulous machines! Comparing photos it appears the idler position is different on the low Baron over the standard Baron. Is this the case or did you ...
... Thanks, Don, that made it crystal clear. I'm not sure I want to drop the chain yet - I'm new to both the Baron and recumbents, and haven't even gotten to...
I'm brand new to recumbents, my first purchase being a Baron. It came to me working 100%, and I've messed it up somehow. I'll spare the details, because I...
Greg, At first glance it appears that you've threaded the chain through the derailleur incorrectly. That metal piece may be from the cage of the lower...
Is there an advantage of having 650 vs 700 wheels. I wasn't sure if one had an advantage and if so, what are they. If I could choose either, which one would...
650c (ISO 571) wheels are lighter than 700c (ISO 622) due to smaller diamater rims and shorter spokes - but more importantly the mass of the rims and tires are...
Only disadvantages of 650c vs 700c: Slightly higher rolling resistance, less available. Another advantage: Less aerodynamic drag, cause the wheels are ...
Hi Folks, I've ordered my Baron (A yellow one obviously since they are the fastest and best looking) It's on it's way to West Australia from the one dealer in...

... Had a look at the new Novosport fairing, and that looked quite fetching. It isn't the same as on the Optima site, nor is there a picture of it on the...
The yellow paint does not determine speed, Barons came in 3 flavors and the yellow was the Discus version with middle range parts (I have the same thing) I was...
