Hi Baroneers, I've ridden my BaronXlow with only one brake (magura Clara) in front, rear no brake. I felt like I didn't need it, the disc in front works...
The board is much too quiet so here goes another one of my silly threads. Where I cycle lowracers are non-existant so I rely upon the web to stay current....
... Hi Ben, Yes, the Baron board has been very quiet lately....I`m trying to find some time to do a big write-up to post on the board, but I`m so darn busy I...
Thanks, Don, for the opportunity to talk about something Baron. (By comparison, the trike messageboard seems to have 6 to 12 e-mails per day). Anyway, I had a...
I'm 5'7" tall and as amazing as it may seem, have no problem seeing over the tiller. I mean, like zero problem, nada, absolutely none. At first, this seemed...
Well, sort of anyway... Last Saturday, I was on a fast group ride and had been hammering on some rollers pretty hard. I felt a little growl through the...
Hi Dennis, Small stature, or at least short legs is also a great advantage on a short wheelbase recumbent. As the boom gets longer to accomodate long legs,...
I run my seat pretty much in the middle of the adjustment in the winter and a little lower than that in the summer. I have a short neck and if I run it all...
I've had my lower right seat bolt losen, also, but I don't mount the idler on that bolt. I run the dropped chain it goes near enough to the bolt to hit it if...
All, I also seem to have no real problem seeing over my Barons(std) bars. The cables do not obstruct my forward vision down the road. If I look down at the...
I have to run the idler in the front seat mount hole because of that short boom thing. If I run it in the center mount, the chain rubs the bottom of the seat...
Hi Denny, If you have any more problems with the idler bolt coming loose again, let me know, I have a cure.... Don ... miles ... new ... the ... eye on...
Hi Denny, One day I`m going to have to actually see you on your bike and figure out exactly how you are able to look over the bars so well. As far as extending...
I'll see if I can round some pictures up. I doubt that I could see very well with the seat laid all the way back, assuming I could manage the position without...
hi don this is marion if you will look at denny's baron he has the thick seat pad , which i have on mine and i have nooo prob seeing over the tiller also in...
I think the tiller is one area where Optima really lets us down. Lowracers should ALL have flip-it type tillers as standard equipment, not as a $150 option. We...
I AM WAITING FOR TERRA CYCLE TO COME OUT WITH THEIRS, FOR THE BARON, I E MAILED THEM THE OTHER DAY AND THEY SAID THEY HOPE TO HAVE IT BY THE END IF SUMMER...
Hi John, I`ve never liked adjustable tillers at all, and they are a bit heavier than a fixed angle tiller. Also, even though I hate superman bars, I can say...
I agree with you, John. I've got the adjustable "flip-it" type tiller but don't use it. I'd sell it, but being a "stout" individual, might need it in a few...
... Some of us don't like flipping tillers (I certainly abhor them with a vengeance). And getting on or off a lowrider is realy quite simple. To mount simply...

Um, I guess I don't understand... I installed a Terracycle glideflex on my Baron back in November of 2005 (I think) and it works quite nicely. Perhaps there...
From: edd_brady@... To: BaronOwners@yahoogroups.com Don, Im not sure why the link didnt work, but this should do it. Some of the photosshw the steerer...
Just been for my first ride on my new Baron. After a near-death experience (well it felt like it at the time) due to someone greasing the stearer tube, and the...
Hi Tom, I have a large Optima seat that measures about 36" long....sounds to me like you have a size "small" seat. I would contact the dealer and insist they ...
