Hi Dana. Nicely done! Who woulda thunk a JS2/TW2 could be retro'ed with a susp fork? Please summarize your mod in the group's upgrade database to benefit...
I went with a threaded steerer. That's what was in there in the first place, so when I ordered the RST Fork, I ordered the threaded steerer. I had to have the...
Hello all Suspended TW owners, I don't hear much in this group about the suspended TW but I am looking to purchase one. I am chosing this bike specifically...
I have had my TW Susupended now for almost two months and I really love it! It is different to get used to if you have not ever had US before. The ride is...
Hi Bob. ... It's a great addition to these ABs and the good news is that Dana's figured out a way to add it to a TW2 (presumably same front end as a STW), see...
... Purely anecdotal ....... but i have well over 5000 miles on my JS/one with all original equipment except for clipless pedals. Only one flat (rear wheel)...

I bought the mount for computer, but it seems very far away for pushing buttons or even reading. I have the handlebar in a joystick position. How about the...
I had the opertunity to walk my roadrunner home about 2.5 miles in the hot sun after only 15 miles on the bike. It was not due to the rim tape. When I...
... Yeah, you'll basically have to stop and lean forward to push buttons on the computer. Personally, after a few weeks with a cyclocomputer i got bored with...
I've tried the mirrors on the glasses before and I don't like them too much. Turning around to look for traffic is harder for me on the 'bent. ... joystick ...
Hi Velvetfoot (got a real name? :-) ). WRT the computer, I agree it's a pain to push the buttons and read but haven't found a better position. WRT the mirror,...
... I haven't tracked this discussion fully, but has anyone suggested using a computer that requires no button presses to see the most common data? The Planet...

Hi Victor. That's very good advice, however in my case cadence was the most important thing I was looking for -- even more so than speed. At that point the...
... I guess you could get two computers :-). The PB 8.0 is ~$20 and can display the common data all at once, then you can get a Sigma Sport BC1600 (or an older...
Hi, Please don't flame me, I've searched your messages for over an hour. If a get a recumbent it will be an actionbent do to finances $$$. Currently, on...
Hi Tom, welcome to the group. You won't get flamed for this question but you will get a lot of different opinions. My observation is that my JS1 climbs hills...
... Which you'd do anyway on an upright if you were riding with proper technique (leaving the saddle is wasteful). I think the issue about recumbents and...
Red herring or not, it is a legitimate concern for me before I convert. I still will read more on climbing ability, but my 2nd question for you experienced...
... Get a flag, apply reflective decals, use lights. You are lower to the ground on a recumbent, so you are less visible. On the other hand, you look very...
Like others have said, recumbents can climb. However, when you first start, you will not climb very well due to using a different set of muscles. Also, there...
... Tom: Welcome, and prepare for a lot of opinions. Mine is, a recumbent goes slower up a hill, but a lot of it depends on pure old leg muscle. You do need...
As far as visibility I think its the same D/F vs recumbent except you cant see as well to the sides. I try to be more aware especially as NM has the highest...
As I've mentioned before, I'm very new to the bicycle world. I keep discovering new things that, as a beginner, never would have occurred to me. The latest...
... ### It's different. You have to get used to spinning 80 rpm or so which is *way* faster then you'd do on a DF. It took me a bit to get there. It seems that...
... Define lousy. It is the rare bent rider who can beat a good climber on a road bike. On the other hand, a strong bent climber can beat a mediocre road bike ...
