The concern for the full crossover of the chain from left to right is one usually reserved for DF's. On recumbents, the chain/chain path is so long that the...
... The issue of rear derailleur chain-takeup capacity is still present though. With many setups, going small-small will have the rear derailleur slack and...
... I bleieve the one in the photo was a one off, but that is not the bike George had at Interbike. George's bike had multiple curved tubes, similar to one of...
Yes, I've noticed that. As I settle into my JS I keep adjusting the boom longer. I just added some 6-8" of chain because I'd lost 3 gears in the large/large ...
Perhaps someone can explain to me how changing the stock JS 11-32 (usually here in Randyland) 8 speed cassette to a Road 11-25 will increase top end...

I left my cassette alone and swapped out the front crankset for a 32- 42-52 Shimano I had from another bike. It's helped on the flats where I used to run out...

I picked up my rear wheel at the LBS the yesterday (spoke adjustment, no more noises). While there I asked about a universal light mount for the handle bars on...
... Yes and you know what? It helps. I can see what gear I'm in. The light on my left leg only makes me higher profile at night (more for traffic to see). I ...
Minoura makes "Space Grips" or space bars (or something like that) that would also work on the FD tube. The horizontal tube may be too wide but that could be...

Has anyone put a Terracycle Glideflex folding stem on their OSS JS? I would like to know if the ID of the Folding stem will fit the post on my JS. Robert...
Well, DUH..... Of course, you are right. Bigger drive gear equals faster; smaller driven gear equals faster. Not sure what I was thinking, thanks for pointing...
... Don't think that's the case here. The local bike pro looked at it and mentioned that it wasn't a bad ring set but that it was a factory 2nd sold to cheaper...
Of course, this same bike shop sold you another one that wasn't 'Malformed' ? I actually changed my gear set out for my MT. bike gears which are 48-36-24 so...

Would those who've already installed alternate seats on their ActionBents be generous enough to take side by side and even "spooned" photos of their old and...
Finally got a chance to take my new TW II out for a decent ride on the Upper Westchester County bike trail. Before I left I did a little fine-tuning of the...
I added a folder in the photos section called Ricks TW II NY. Just three pics so far, one of the bike alone, one with my wife's Bike E and one in back of my...
The pictures look good and the file size is fine. Sounds like you're pretty happy with your TW II so far. I bought my first bent, an EZ-1, four years ago. I...
Thanks Michael. Yep I am happy with the TW II so far. I do feel lucky that I had my wife's Bike E to try out, and luckier still that the SWB has turned out to...
