Hello everyone, Does anyone carry a surf rod on their recumbent?.I was going to rig up a 1 metre tube;on the rear frame somewhere.Any better suggestions...
I just got the tadpole put together and need answers to a few problems1 1. The waddle generated by the torque applied to the peddales? I am totally suprised...
1. Someone coin'd this "Tadpoling"... vry appropriate (deserves an award!) It will get better as you get use to the trike. Take your head off of the...
The "tadpoling" is primarily due to mashing on the pedals. It's actually common to most tadpole trikes. Practice "spinning circles", pedaling in a smooth...
Hi again. Since it looks like no one has these around, can someone recommend an inexpensive off-the-shelf handlebar that's close to their shape (maybe some...
You could consider getting in touch with TW/Bents and explain the situation with your current handlebars. Kevin at TW/Bents will contact you and do what he...
I think I recently refeered to it as Tadpolling - but Tom, I can't take credit for that - I think I got that name years ago thru BROL when I had a Whizwheelz....
Okay... we'll let you slide on the moment of fame for now... I still like the implication of the term so thanks for bringing it back into the forefront of...
Try riding in a higher gear the more you spin the pedals the more you gonna have pedal steer. Make sure the axle nut isn't too tight too, sometimes those...
Thanks for the tips - I'll check those items. I've followed your steering upgrade closely - I may well want to do that, once I get everything else settled in....
I've gone blind over the last couple of days trying to read all the comments on upgrading and the various possibilities. I feel like I know less than I did...
I'm interested in these Big Apples, how have they been so far? I've read the rolling resistant belies their size. Also, can't wrap my mind around how the seat...
For what it's worth, I agree with Dane on this one. In my experience, and as many others have reported similarly, using too high of gearing ("mashing") tends...
This morning I went on a group ride which had some very tricky down hill runs. I mean tricky because of rough road, gravel in spots and high crown. I was able...
to all who replied to my post of yesterday. Thank for the info. I have applied most of the suggests either in build or today. It Seems to me that simplest...
Don't remove the nylock nut on the outside!!! The bearings are pressed onto the axle. You don't need to remove the brake disk to unscrew the axle from the...
So far I ahve been very pleased with the Big Apples, but I have not ridden then a lot yet. The rolling resistance does not seem to be incresed over the stock...
I used Cane Creek S3 headsets. Not their top, but still with sealed cartridge bearings. Very nice and basically no servicing. I was able to find them new for a...
I have replaced the Shifters on my trike, if somebody is interested,I have a set of Shimano Deore M 510 working in perfect order for sale the price is 25.00...
Anybody else notice that AB periodically lists the Apoyo on e-bay at $999 NR on a short listing. You folks out there with line Randy have any insites? I have...
Now that I have taken to crude way to discovering the way to remove the front wheel I offer the following. Instead of removing the 6 screws mounting the disk I...
Ohhh... my... If you'd have said you needed to change the tires, we would have warned you for sure. Interesting that you got the axle out of the hub......
