The recent 20% off sale at REI included the CatEye SingleShot Plus integrated (no separate battery pack) rechareable headlight, the first time I've seen it...
Tonight was the night I finally tried cramming both our Greenspeed GT3 and our HP Velotechnik Scorpion fx into the back seat of our 2002 Toyota Prius....
I was wondering if anyone in the group has had experience with the 16" Kenda "Kwest" tires. I've used these on my roadbikes in the past and have been very...
Can't speak for the 16" Kenda's but our Sun EZ3-USX came with a 20" Kenda. When one got a flat, I was happy to replace it with a Marathon because the Kenda was...
I have a Greenspeed GTR and last year I installed three Schwalbe Marathon Plus. The main reasons for deciding on these was they are as close as you are going...
I have a Greenspeed GTR and currently have Greenspeed Scorcher Kevlar's installed. I have a year's riding on them on pavement and no flats so far. I am a bit...
Walt, Thank you for the insight. I hadn't realized that Greenspeed offered a kevlar version of the Scorcher. I'll have to look into that. Again, the wear...
At this point it seems a reasonable sacrifice (speed for staility). I'm no speed demon to start with, so they are something to consider. As I've said, I'm a...
I've also had the "thorn proof" tire tubes on my GTO, and have found them to weigh a ton and carrying a spare is a major concession as far as room. They just...
Perhaps this is old news to some here, but it was a new find for me this evening, a Greenspeed Owners Resource Page: http://129.79.22.9/greenspeed/index.html ...
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...
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...
Have GTO. 1. Flags - I use two of different shapes and colors. 2. Lights - bright, flashing, potential for day and nite. 3. Clipless pedals and shoes 4. Rear...
... 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...
... I had a Greenspeed scorcher kevlar chopped right through the kevlar belt on BRAG, while doing 40 - 50mph down a long hill. The fun part was I'd left my...
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...
I can't speak too highly of the Crank Brothers Pedals. I converted several years ago and my wife got her first set last week and thinks they're superior to her...
... The weight of the fenders is absolute trivia, if you notice that you need to ride more to get in shape. I have the original Sachs hydraulic disc brakes on...
I understand some electric motors for bicycles and tricycles can be used to assist (rather than replace) peddling. If so, that might provide a way for my wife...
Haven't done this but you should consider asking the Greenspeed people about this ( greenspeed.com.au ) .? They have a link to bionx on their web site, so this...
... To add just a bit to this, I found a Google reference to use of a BionX electric assist system on the Greenspeed site by a dealer, but it mentioned the...
I recommend joining the forum at www.atomiczombie.com Throw your question out in the general discussion forum and sit back! There are guys on that board who...
I wanted to thank everyone for their great responses and pictures that you guys shared. I will be picking up my new X5 tomorrow and cannot wait to go for a...
Have a 2004 GTO with Hope Closed 2 front disc brakes. Anyone have experience on the life expectancy of the brake pads, calipers, etc? Have an issue with one -...
While the handle going to the bar may be due to disc pad failure, it's more likely (in my mind) that the system has become "air bound" and the air within the...
I have a 5 week old trike with about 300 miles so far. There is this squeaking sound which comes from the shaft frame tube area on the freewheel side. I...
Try sending an E-Mail to Greenspeed.They should have some tech support.Other folks may have the same problem and the manufacturer might know the solution. It...
I have GTO so I don't know how to help you, but I have contacted Greenspeed by email and they have been helpful. Paul Sims is the Tech Manager and can be ...
