EZ3usx one day old. Can I remove the chain tubes? They clatter unacceptably. I'd
rather have the brake levers and shift barrels horizontal. Is there a bar with
horizontal nubs that allow such a remounting?

I have noticed the same thing, especially if I have to really start
torquing to get up a hill. It has never really caused a problem
though, you get used to the hop.

Steve,

So far my experience with the trike is limited. I used to ride a
Linear.  However I have noticed the wheel hop and I just steer back on
line if possible. But the steep gravel roads that I rode with no
problem on the Linear, I do have to walk with the trike. I guess
everything costs something. I do like the stability of the trike vs
the bike. I plan to get riding more when it warms a little 10 degrees
here.  Cold for us but probably normal for you.

How normal is front wheel hop on Sun USX trikes?

My personal experience: Riding on paved roads and gravel bike paths,
there are a number of crossings where the road is higher than the
trail. Crossing the trail is sometimes better walking the trike
across, because when starting out "uphill", the front wheel will
sometimes lift slightly because of the torque needed to get going.

This occurs whether the "uphill" portion is on pavement or gravel.

Your thoughts?

As soon as it warms up, should be 8 degrees in the morning, I'll get
back on the project.

I have found that with the lower gear I still cannot climb some of the
steepest hills that are hard dirt. The front wheel hops to the left.
So far I have made all of the paved hills that I used to ride on my
Linear.  I think now I am geared a little lower, but I also have more
weight.

Thanks for the advise.

Thanks for the info.  I found a 11-34 freewheel and had it installed.
I also installed a smaller chainring. 18 I think. I now have 4
chainwheels, but I'm having trouble getting the front derailleur
adjusted. After I get it all together I'll report back.

Just found this group. Dont know if you solved your problem but yes I
have the megarange 11-34 and it helped. At least one is on ebay today.
I also changed my tires for a steeper gearing. I am running Kenda

I'm looking for handlebar extenders to use on my 3Z trice under set
steering. Not for lights and things, but to raise the actual controls
up another 4 inches or so. At the current height, I can't reach my
fist low enough to shift without flipping to an overhand grip. If I
could raise the controls up, I could hold them naturally and shift as
needed.
Any ideas where I might find something like these? Thanks group

May I ask why you have gone baqck to riding a road bike? Can;t you do both?

Hi Everyone,

I have done the "evil thing" and went back to riding road bikes.  I know, booooo!  ;-)

I thought I would let you all know that I have listed my two recumbent trikes on ebay. 

Please have a look if you are in the market or just curious.  Or, if you know someone in the market for a trike, please let them know about the sale. 

Ride safe everyone & happy holidays!

I use spd cleats and love them but did have a little trouble getting into them
on the trike at first.  Now that I'm used to the new angle I'm getting into them
easily.  I got my trike in May and have put about 1200 miles on so far and I'm
loving it.

Wow! Thanks to all of you for your replies!

    I will remember all the suggestions & ideas given & have already
changed my original position per the suggestion that no more than a 90
degree bend in the knees alone!

       Again thanks to all the replies & hope I can help others too
sometime in the future, unless you have fishing & ice fishing
questions on my area here in the Midwest!

I find even a 1/4" difference in seat to pedal extension matters to
me, so feel free to make small adjustments until it feels right to
you, and then mark that position so you can return to it after any
future changes. If well adjusted, a skilled rider should be able to
maintain a cadence of at least 70RPM smoothly. As others have
suggested, this is most likely if your leg is not quite fully extended
when the pedal is as far forward as it can go, and no more than 90
degrees bent when the pedal is as far back as it can go.

I concur with the recommendation of mountain bike cycling shoes,
specifically Shimano SPD cleats. As for positioning the cleats on the
shoes, a good dealer has a special tool to do this. Without that, your
goal is for the pressure of pedaling to be well centered on the ball
of your foot. For me, on a recumbent, that means using the rear slots
on the shoes, but your feet might be different in that regard. The
reason for getting this as correct as possible is that you'll be doing
a whole lot of repetitions of that movement, so don't want it to in
any unnecessary way stress your knees.

Course, I'm speaking from the perspective of having biked about 2K
miles this year. If you're only cruising around the neighborhood a
couple of times a week, none of this matters mouch.

I only have almost 100 miles on my USX, but I have more than 4
thousand on my Liner bike recumbent. I have found that if I set the
seat so when I am tight against the seat my leg is almost completely
extended. Then when riding I can slump down or slide forward and
change my leg to peddle length. That gives me some variation during a
long peddle. This also allows me to change my seat position and
release pressure.

Hope this helps.

Personally I like my legs to be at full extension when at the forward
position. I would imagine you will hear several different
suggestions, but it all comes down to where you are the most
comfortable. At least the seats are very easy to adjust so you can
try different positions till you find the one for you.

Since this is my first recumbent "09' EZ3 USX-HD" and I have only
about 5 miles traveled so far I wanted to ask experienced riders this
question.

     What do you look for in the proper, or your favorite placement of
your seat to the pedals?

     Do you want a slight bend in the knees at full extension on the
pedals? And what position of your foot on the pedals?

     On my old 10 speed racer I liked a straight leg at bottom position
with the pedal in the middle of the foot, & when hard riding I would
place the pedal nearer my toes.

   I am just trying to get a grip on where most others seem to like the
placement after riding one of these trikes a while?

I do believe that the older models had 24 spokes per wheel?

My new USX-HD has 48 spokes per wheel & 110 PSI hookworm tires.

Hello All!


     I must admit I have been browsing over many of the messages here
for the last few weeks while waiting for my new trike!


     I was a fanatical 10 speed racer rider from the mid 70's thru
the early 80's. Then I lived in Chicago & near suburbs and would
ride that 10 speed whenever the weather would allow.

    On occaision I would ride it to my full time job & my 2 part time
jobs and somedays would put 27 miles on the bike commuting to the
jobs & home.

   Then in 1985 we moved out to Sandwich IL about 50 miles SW of
Chicago and my job was 23 miles from home! Well 46 miles a day &
working was no longer an option. I lost the passion for riding, got
older, and much heavier!

   I now was too heavy for my racer and likely would ruin it if I
tried to ride it & started researching recumbents.

   Well with the USX-HD rated at 400 pounds, and 3 wheels for bad
weather, AND now after starting my own store only 6 miles from home
I decided to make the plunge!

    So far I have only ridden it around the parking lot in my mall
but I feel I made a great decision to buy it.

    I live in a large private community "Lake Holiday" and am taking
it home today and start riding it there daily to build-up to doing 6
mile trips mornings & evenings to eventually start commuting to my
store a few days a week too!

   I have also done the nesseccary paperwork with Easy Racers and am
planning on becoming a dealer too!

   Our shop sells fishing tackle, bait, and Dave Scadden Northfork
Outdoors inflatable pontoon boats that we sell & rent for fishing
trips here on the Fox River.

   So I guess I will be considered a Sporting Goods Store now
offering fishing equipment, bait, boats, bikes, and boat rentals.
That should
hopefully keep me busy!

   I have already figured how to easily attach fishing rods, cooler,
and fishing gear to my bike that will allow me to pedal to spots
around the lake I live on to fish too.

   So here's to good conversation, helping others with riding issues,
and for those that like to fish or boat on the Fox River in this
area stop in sometime to say hello!


                              Lance Yates Sr

Well, my dog is small so it was easy just to reach my arm out in the
direction we were about to turn to give him a little pull in that

a big dog that tug.

I'm having some trouble teaching my great dane to walk/run beside the
trike.  He runs on my left side & is fine in a straight stretch, but
then when I make a turn to the left where he is I almost hit him
everytime.  I push the leash away from me to give him extra room to
get away from the rear wheel, but I've bumped his leg once anyway. 
Is this just something he'll adapt to & start to move?  I have to
slow down to almost zero to make a turn in his direction.  Any
suggestions?

Otherwise, you're right, the USX is a great "dog trike".  My dane 
almost turned me over SEVERAL times on my old bicycle.

Thanks,
Sarah
