Which actionbent is the best for touring? I'm willing to get a trailer, because it doesn't look like there is a good way to carry front panniers and I take...
Get a Burley idler and install it back under the seat -- works great. I used a tube for the return chain but you could just as easily over/under the Burley....
... If any one is interested in keeping a tube for the return chain I will tell you a good tube to use. The one it came with was noisy, so was the wheel. I...
Hi Newbie (hey hope that's not your real name?) and welcome to the group. ... Boy that's such a subjective question. Any AB would work fine for casual touring...
As a "near-newbie" with less than 100 miles on my new TW II with USS (just got my final LBS checkout and tune up friday,) I - of course- have the best opinion....
There's been some discussion of clips around the net with the idea that on a recumbent you need something to hold your feet up on the pedals. What is the...
One other thing - from my HPV Street Machine test ride, I definitely think it's the front shock that makes it smooth and stable. The rear shock is great for...
... All I can say is that for years, I had the same opinion. Then, on my first recumbent, I installed some SPDs, and immediately regretted not doing it years...
Ditto on spd's...for me: not as much for feet dropping off the pedals, but for the smooth spin and constant power to the pedal since the foot on the upstroke...
--I've set up my JS1 for an extended tour this Summer,184 miles of the C & O Towpath trail. With a rear rack,SciCon Panniers & Traveling case I should be just...
Hi JR. I'm inclined to agree with that assessment. When I built up my full- suspension JS1, I put the rear susp on first and that was definitely nice but not...
Agree with everything said thus far. Make sure to put the clips as far back on the foot as possible, and set the pedals for the easiest release setting. Gary ...
Hmm - thanks for the input everyone. I'm definitely motivated to look at the options. What about the powergrip straps, are those nearly as good as clips or not...
... Enh, I personally feel that they are not worth it. They are more difficult to get into and out of quickly, and provide a less secure attachment. -Joe...
... look ... as ... secure ... Agree that they're more difficult and less secure, but otoh they're not bad and can be a lot more convenient because they work...
... easier to keep pressure on the peddles al the way around. If you ever get clipless peddles on a bent or DF and you use them for about a month, it will be...
I would contact FedEx, or UPS......see what they can come up with. ... From: actionbent@yahoogroups.com [mailto:actionbent@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of...
My wife and I are selling our Jetstreams. The couple of times we went out on them were wonderful but unfortunately, after a couple of close calls we've decided...
I generally prefer PowerGrips to clipless but on my JS1, the higher crank height, compared to my old BikeE, makes SPD my prefered pedal. Attaching your foot to...
I think Randy's story would be that the extra cost of non-value bikes comes from (a) markups and (b) domestic v. overseas labor for manufacturing and assembly...
Hey, About a year ago, one of the regulars in this forum had made his own "Actionbent" sticker for his bike. I don't recall who it was, but my AB sticker is...
