Matt, One nice thing about going the do-it-yourself route is that you can modify the frame to suit your needs. In short, if you can figure out a way to...
Matt, I ordered a welded frameset 4 years ago and at that time Dom indicated that he could make one for 700c wheels if I wanted that. You'd have to check with...
Matt, The Rans seat clamps around the main tube of your bike. They only make two dia., a 1.5 and 2.0 inch. If you look at Bentech design the main tube is in...
Matt, Look at the seat set up on a Rotator Tiger. They use a quarter-pipe clamp held on with stainless hose clamps with rubber between the clamp and main tube....
First, this is probably a rather premature message, since my SWB USS frameset only just arrived from Dom yesterday. Still, I couldn't resist partly assembling...
Folks, I have started a new Yahoo Group to support owners of Infinty Recumbents. Infinity went out of production several years ago. They have distinctive...
The Terracycle EasyReacher underseat rack and those like it are probably the best option for adding baggage capacity on the SWB model while minimizing the...
Does anybody have any sources for seatpads for an M-5 (pan or shell) style seat? I lost mine on RAGBRAI last week. BTW- Recumbents are seen more and more on...
Doug, Check out the Yahoo Group Site @ _http://sports.groups.yahoo.com/group/InfinityRecumbent/_ (http://sports.groups.yahoo.com/group/InfinityRecumbent/) I'll...
Folks, In response to Doug's request, I have posted a couple of pics of the Infinity recumbent USS steering cable system. They are in a folder in the photo...

Anyone build their jig from the directions? I'm building an USS SWB and I didn't find anywhere where it says what the size of the plywood should be for the...
I built mine from the directions. I remember reading through the directions several times looking for answers like yours finally I used a highlighter...
Hi everyone, I'm Jay and have been a recumbent enthusiast for about 4 years now. I've taken a few test rides courtesy of Recumbent Central in Phoenix AZ and...
Greetings Bent Riders, Finally finished my Bentech and have been trying to ride it. However, it is unstable at slow start up speeds. It could be that I do not...
Elwood, I have found the underseat steering lwb very stable and easy to balance. With my hand below me and to my sides I feel less like figthing the bike and...
... I don't think so. I have a SWB USS Bentech, but I've test-ridden a lot of configurations of recumbents as well as watching other people get used to bent...
Jay, This is Bob in Phoeniz. Sure you can come and visit. I don't weld but have a friend that does it for me. I have my 1st frame that I'm willing to sell....
I think both OSS and USS take a little getting used to. I had 2-3 falls on my USS the 1st couple of weeks, after that smooth sailing. Don't grab the handle...
Hi all Still in the process of assembling a set of components for my nascent Bentech USS SWB. I have pretty much everything on its way now, but I'm having...
... nascent ... I bought these: http://poweroncycling.com/FENDERS.htm (FND-001), $10.99 a pair. The front bolted right on to the brake mounting hole in the...
... Absolutely. It's a bit like learning to ride a bike all over again, except not nearly as hard, isn't it? My bike was wobbly and unstable the first day I...
I've only ridden about 30 minutes worth on recumbents, but Eric's explanation is very good. The key to stability is to get up to speed. The other key is to...
Hello, I used Planet Bike fenders. You can buy them one at a time, so you get the sizes you need. I moved one of the stays from the back to the front, made a...
I'm a serious novice at this, so please bear with me. However, as I understand it, you might want to *decrease* the rake of the front fork, thus *increasing*...
I don't have a bentech but have finished my first DIY recumbent-I tried both OSS and USS and I like USS better-but OSS was easier at first because it's more...
