Fuego chainline update

September 26, 2019April 15, 2020 / David Mason / Leave a comment

Today I got out for a proper ride on the Fuego with the new tube-free chainline (see here for details). It's a keeper. There's no problem contacting the chain with your leg, and you only get chain/wheel contact on really tight bends such as switchbacks or u turns. I imagine even that will lessen if … Continue reading Fuego chainline update

How to annoy the neighbours

September 17, 2019 / David Mason / Leave a comment

Decided to do something about my shrieking front disc brake with no stopping power on the Fuego tonight. Took the pads off to clean and bled the brake. Diligently cleaned the pads and rotor. Put wheel back on and tested hydraulics with a good pull on the lever. First mistake- hadn’t put the pads back … Continue reading How to annoy the neighbours

Farewell summer

September 14, 2019 / David Mason / 2 Comments

We were out for a lovely tandem ride today - clear sky, crisp cold air and really windy.... must be autumn approaching once again. The trees have started turning their colour this week and there’s a definite chill in the air. Back road to Innerleithen I had the trike out earlier this week too - … Continue reading Farewell summer

Musings on enjoyment of the more comfort-oriented approach to recumbent cycling

Which is faster, a road bike or recumbent?

May 27, 2019 / David Mason / 3 Comments

My take on the endless argument about which kind of bike is 'fastest'. Sigh.

Musings on pedal extenders

May 20, 2019April 15, 2020 / David Mason / Leave a comment

Yesterday I took a spin on the trike round the Innerleithen Loop. Weather was not too bad, a little bit of drizzle but otherwise warm and nice to be out after Saturday's pouring rain. In my recent review of the Sprint I talked about the speed I am able to achieve round this loop which … Continue reading Musings on pedal extenders
