Baron low-racer owner, here. Thanks much for sharing all the tech specs! I love your customizations, and I'm considering modifying my handlebar, too. The original handlebar is not great. I saw your answer regarding the handlebar, and I think I am going to emulate your example, what a great job you did. Did you change your rear brakes because they were losing efficiency going downhill? Mine have this problem, and I have to be careful not to let them heat up too much. Lastly: I live in a hilly area, and I electrified my bent with a PHOTON Mid-Drive Conversion Kit. It's heavy but insanely fast, and I can take really steep hills now!

I didn't change the rear brakes (only brake pads). My modified handlebar is about 8,8 cm large (measure taken from the external parts of the barends bottom).

I realize this is an old post but I appreciate you showing your Baron. I just bought one and have it in pieces planning the build so your mods are nice food for thought. I also have a carbon seat but it seems flatter than yours. The sides of your seat curve up to form a tub. Did Optima change the design during production? Incidentally, polishing a Baron frame is like wrestling a angry orange boa constrictor, haha.

wow...thanks for sharing this. I have an optima baron and I love it! I'm also in the process of upgrading mine bit by bit. I never really thought about what my 'end goal' was for the bike, but I think I know now!! @Baron Low Racer, do you mind sharing a link to where you purchased the fork and the front wheel? Thank you!
@baronlowracer
@baronlowracer 3 года назад
it's a Beiou fork, a Chinese brand and I purchased it on Alibaba. The front wheel is an Aerospoke and I purchased it in Italy but it's an American brand, you can search online and see where you can find it.

About the fork, is it a 1 1/8 (28,6mm) ? My Baron has a 1’’ stem and I have a hard time finding a fork for it

Very nice setup and impressive speed vs. Watt you are demonstrating in your other videos. I see you use 160 mm cranks. I am wondering to use the same cranks, but I cannot try them before buying unfortunately. My inseam is about 82cm, is that similar to yours? Also your headrest looks comfortable and well-made, where did you buy it?
@baronlowracer
@baronlowracer 3 года назад
My inseam is about 83 cm. The headrest is from the same brand of the bike that is "Optima Cycles Recumbent"

Can you tell me the type of the front fork? Is it a narrow fork or do you made another changes to avoid collision?
@baronlowracer
@baronlowracer Месяц назад
The front fork it's a carbon fork, the brand is "Beiou", a chinese brand. I bought it on Alibaba. It's a relative narrow fork and I didn't make any changes, I only applied a duct tape to protect the fork from direct contact with chain.

Bellissima. Complimenti di novo! Sto costruendo una Performa Vigorous modificata (forcella stretta in carbonio come la tua, ruota 349 davanti, percorso più diretta per la catena + corona asimmetrica ) e vorrei copiare il tuo manubrio, ma non vedo bene come l’hai costruito e non capisco perché hai montato le leve dei freni dietro il manubrio. Potresti spiegarmi queste due cose per cortesia?
@baronlowracer
@baronlowracer 3 года назад
Grazie per i complimenti. Per quanto riguarda il manubrio ho semplicemente tagliato il manubrio di serie per renderlo strettissimo dopodiché ho applicato dei bar ends (appendici) alle estremità, ho messo i freni con le leve rivolte verso di me per creare più spazio per le gambe che altrimenti pedalando ci urterebbero, ho tolto i comandi dei cambi tradizionali ed ho messo quelli da crono inserendoli nei bar ends, ho nastrato quest'ultimi con il nastro per i manubri da bici da corsa per una migliore presa, per l'estetica e per nascondere i cavi

Ciao che lenticolare hai montato? Ho una Baron identica alla tua e vorrei prendere anch'io una lenticolare, si sente tanto la differenza in termini di mantenimento velocità in pianura rispetto alla classica? Inoltre ho visto che hai smontato le carrucole vicino al movimento e hai la catena diretta senza copricatena
@baronlowracer
@baronlowracer 4 года назад
La lenticolare l'ho fatta fare dando le misure della mia ruota. Il link è questo www.raltech.co.uk/Prod_3-Wh-Cov.html E' difficile riuscire a ricevere una risposta ma dopo numerosi tentativi ci sono riuscito e me l'ha fatta. Adesso non so se è più attivo. Durante la spedizione il mio pacco si è smarrito e lui gentilmente ha iniziato a prepararmene un'altra a sue spese dopodichè il pacco è arrivato quindi ne ha già una pronta per la ruota di serie della Baron e non sa cosa farci. Gli faresti un favore ad acquiastarla, i suoi clienti sono soprattutto possessori di bici tradizionali da crono e quindi non sa come venderla. Per quanto riguarda le prestazioni non ho mai fatto un test "scientifico" per quantificare il guadagno ma il suo effetto, a mano a mano che la velocità aumenta, si fa sentire. La bici fila più stabile, tiene molto di più la velocità e guadagni ovviamente qualcosa. Per quanto riguarda la catena diretta domanda pure...

hello my Friend, what is the exact model number for the carbon fork that you have on this Baron?

it's a Beiou fork, a Chinese brand. It has a nice look and it is strong and you can use that carbon fork with disk brake or standard brake.
