Hello Catrike owners! I just bought a Villager, and with the crazy hills around here, I won't get far on the single chainring. I want to fit a boom with a...
Hi Gordon, I would suggest looking at the SRAM DualDrive option instead of changing the boom. The DualDrive offers a 3-speed internal gearing with a ratio of...
 Hello Brian!  Thanks for your reply.  The costs sure make the dual drive seem like a good choice. The gearing numbers are right in the sweet-spot on...
If the boom is the same as most of the other cats I would be looking into a replacement boom already fitted with with the derailer mast. Very simple process...
Hi Gordon, There shouldn't be any problems with installation as Catrike revamped the dropouts so the clickbox for the internal shifting will fit ok. I had the...

I think the Speed takes presta valve tubes. Most LBS don't carry 20 or 16" tubes, unless they sell recumbents. A good online source is the Hostel Shoppe at...
Charles, the spelling is right, the link is http://www.hostelshoppe.com/ They have a large variety of tubes and tires for recumbents. Anyone going to the...
