Re: [Greenspeedtrikeowners] Getting X5 at the end of the month

Congratulations. At first you may be convinced you have to have a headrest @~$120. Ride 200 miles first and you may find you aren't missing the headrest at all. Some folks like having it just to be able to put their heads back on the downhills or at stop points. Good luck.

Hey Gang,

I am new to the board but have been riding recumbents for years. Test drove a greenspeed
x5 and could not resist. Will be buying or ordering one at the end of June. Are there any
accessories that you would consider a must? I have a GPS so a computer is not necessary but
anything else is fair game.

I am used to riding a Bacchetta Corsa and want a trike to ride with my daughter and on some
shorter trips than my Corsa.

... I'm of the opposite view and consider the headrest essential on my GTR. This is especially true of longer rides. Otherwise I get sore neck muscles holding...

Clipless pedals are an absolute must. If your foot slips off a trike pedal while moving there is a high chance of running over your lower leg and having one of...

Thanks for all of the great replies. I will try to address a few of them. As far as disc brakes go, I believe that they come standard on the X5, if they do...
