You really learn how to use your gears, when you ride a two wheeled recumbent. It also helps to have a really low gear. I live in a city of hills ;)

I changed from a 30T to 26T in my smallest front chainring and am already regretting not going for the 24T! I still might do the upgrade if I can get the part and the service on the road.

@@davidweber9065 I've always been into bike repair. I do most of my own work on my recumbent. Chain rings are easy to trade out. Just need a way to pop the crank off and then an Allen wrench the right size. Any good bike shop will have what you need. As for Allen wrenches I hope your carrying them :) Ride safe.

@@davidweber9065 There is a problem with going to a 24t front chain ring. Your front Derailleur can only handle 12 tooth changes in chain rings. So I use a 26, 38, 50. set up for the front chain rings. So a 12 tooth difference. So if you went with a 24 as your lowest, you'd have to change the middle and biggest. Middle would have to be a 36 and largest a 48. Just thought you should know.

@@longrider42 Thank you for the information! Sounds like I should just stick it out with 26T.

In 50 years of cycling, the WORST flat tire I ever experienced was on the American River Trail in '87. Actually, to be more accurate, it was just OFF the trail where it happened. Riding my mountain bike, I decided to delve off pavement to hit some dirt briefly. Bad, BAD decision! I returned to the pavement to notice everything was really, really bumpy. I look down, and to my horror, I see HUNDREDS of goat heads stuck in both tires. Actually riding ON goat heads! And in 40 years in and around the bike industry, this is still the "worst" flat tire I've ever seen in terms of sheer numbers of holes in an inner tube. You've been warned about the goat heads there!!! Today's tubeless tires with sealant would have made this experience a non-issue though.

Wow! Glad I made it through with no punctures in my tires.

So how does your selfie stick disappear???

That is the magic of the Insta360 X3! Nifty little device.

Born and raised in Placerville. Studebaker made wagons there and eventually turned to automotive manufacturing afterward. Such an amazing town and place to grow up!

@davidweber9065 3 месяца назад

I enjoyed it! A very special foothills of the mountains town. Very scenic.

The problem I find, with dried fruits and nuts, specially when riding on a hot day. Is they will take water out of your system when you eat them. So I take normal fruit and my favorite cookie is Fig Newtons. When I'm out on a Long bike ride, I take plenty of snacks with me. I have a basket on the front of my recumbent, so I carry the snacks so they are easy to reach. Food is Fuel.
