Last time I rode the trail (2019) I don't remember all of those irregularities in the pavement which now appear to be acting as speed bumps. Got to be hard on a trike, even one with full suspension.
Needed pictures of your trike on the video. Hase Lepus' here with Rohloff gearboxes. Cannot ride self-owned tadpole trikes for 15 years now. Wheelchair/forearm crutches on/off here. 25-inch seat height option. Never outgrow a delta planform recumbent trike. Grow oldest on a delta planform recumbent trike. AKA: "Jason Stillwater" in the recumbent world.
Have an ICE Sprint X 26 Tour trike, recently added a motor. On the flats, can't see a bicycle competing with a trike at speed as weight isnt an issue on the flats and wind resistance counts for 90% of the power needed, you being more aerodynamic. And then , you have the power of the motor on top of that.
I recently had my first experience passing horses on the trail (road), on my bike. (Me, my wife, and my son). The horses heard us when we were quite far back.. They kept glancing back... But the riders were in their own little world and did not. We were very very slow. And when we got next to them, I don't know what happened, but all of a sudden one of the horses (w/ a young, maybe teen rider) freaked out and ran literally sideways, and the girl fell off. Horse people were taking up the ENTIRE road, too.. (was a forest road.. not a trail). The rest of the group had no problem.. So, I think it was an issue of the rider doing something wrong. But.. How did the riders not notice their horses looking back over their solders for 5 minutes as we approached? How did they not hear us?? People need to pay attention!
Waita slow down and get over as much as possible. Tough situation, but that was proper trail etiquete. It’s hard for horseback riders here in CO, wish there were hike / horseback only trails more common around the front range, and more bike only too.
Hmm, would like to hear a jaw harp in some techno. :) Have about three harps on hand. Wanted to get a beep base one. The trick is using a teeny magnetic ball bearing.
Really enjoyed your video. The rear-view mirror view was also an excellent enhancement. Don't recall ever seeing that great addition before! It did add to the scenery viewing within your video.
When I added the VersaBars to the Rover it gave me a better option for mirrors and a place to add a GoPro (left) and a 360° (right), and other items. When riding the GoPro 6 captures most everything in front *and* uses the Mirrycle mirror to capture behind/side. This way when riding the camera captures more, and is an unbiased witness should I ever be involved in an accident. And yes, it captures an angle often missed otherwise. 😃
Was never told the exact reasons, no. Was hinted on heat issue, that the motor was not intended for that much weight, and was suggested to go with a 1,000 watt Bafang. TSDZ2 was tuned down to 650 watts to keep it lasting longer. In the end is had new gears installed reverting it back to a TSDZ1 in effect. Got a 1500 watt Bafang M625 installed. Was not easy to install to a recumbent trike. Luckily found a dealer in China selling the oddly shaped leads. Ended up having to splice the battery communications wires and extend them out almost 3 feet. Still has the same issue as other Bafang motors do, speed sensor. With the M625, if anything (save lights or brake sensors) goes awry the system dies. However, I was able to get to 26 MPH on the M625. TSDZ2 I only maxed out around 18 MPH and that was pushing it. Think the biggest issue with the TSDZ2 is they need an upgraded gear, a heat kit installed, probably some heat sinks on the outer case, and not to push it. Also it is not designed for anything but pavement, and no riders over 200 pounds. The gears are the weakest points so as not to ruin the motor. That is with all e-motors though. We went with the M625 as they were geared for cargo bikes. There is not massive leap of power at the start. Instead it feels just like a normal bike/trike then slowly builds up. If it will last more than 113 miles I will be pleased.
@@svengalil If I was to sum it up, Ghost (Cadence) Mode while on unpaved roads was probably where it met its early demise. The added stress, combined with heat building up. Personal weight (365#) was the other issue. That is where Eco Cycles suggested the higher end Bafang. A close friend did some research. He came up with the M625 Idea. Can't wait for better riding weather. Stay off Cadence (Ghost Mode) if the rider is overweight.
Thank you I think that will be my next harp thank you when I first seen one I said wft is that this was on 4 months ago I took me weeks to make a sound but I found with the harp I bought it needed some fine tuning I'll say man power well it makes sounds and was only around 12 dollers under 15 the point is any harp will work to learn but I like the sounds on that one over mine but mine is half the price I will be buying a new one soon
2560 x 1440 30FPS Do you recommend a better setting? Am new to the camera. Wished was a way to dampen the sound it picks up from the mount. Have a 360Fly that has a horrible sound pickup from everything; wind, bumps, mount pickup. Have not used it in in ages. Friend uses it suspended from a kayak and has great luck with his 360fly.
Ordro EP8 picks up wind and surrounding noises. Voice pickup is awful. Video is situational, yet not fluid. SJCam has better video, yet the noise pickup is bad. Voice was decent. Too small of a format. GoPro 6 Black is clearly the winner. Older stabilization still roxxors. Video is terrific, yet covers most (not all) situations. Audio is a huge plus, as well as multiple settings that are easy to access from the camera. Batteries can be swapped out easily.
The IQUI 360 Pocket Camera looks like a MIB Neuralyzer. It can take MANY pictures, yet videos have to be under 30 seconds in length. The companion app (smartphone needed) can do wonders to still photos turning them into small movie clips with oodles of effects, motion, filters, and more. Even has four lens. It's downfall was resolution and lack of mounting options. It was made more for group selfies; where one could see all around the camera's perspective as opposed to a flat photo, or series of photos. I find the IQUI camera a fascinating technical marvel. GB-Goodies on Amazon has a few new versions in stock.
The original trail at this one section was too close to the mill. So Tamarack had constructed an alternative trail to go safely around, Was my first time through this one section. Alan had pulled me off the first sponsored WRT event and dropped me off at Strawberry Road. Missed the fun all this time! :)
Used one as a necklace as it was more geometrically appealing. Lots of comments. You would be surprised how many people do not know what a jaw harp is. I also play the didgeridoo, and a mandolin. The jaw harp is a low easier to carry around without any intimidation.
Anyone can do it. Like with anything, takes practice. There is no right or wrong way to strum it. I prefer outward, some prefer inward. Seen only one person that could play without strumming it - and I was taken aback.
Wished some manufacturer made replacement door handles out of aluminum, or even steel, for a 1998 Suzuki Esteem. These nylon versions are unstable in the colder weather. Get used to replacing them yearly.
