I converted to a recumbent because my ass got sore at 27km.
But I have discovered setups on DFs which overcome this problem. 1) Get yourself in a more upright riding position. This ensures that there is less weight on your arms, wrists and that you are sitting on you sit bones rather than the top of your scrotum. Also you are looking more straight ahead. (Only Lance Armstrong and wantabees ride the nutcracker position.) This is usually done by raising your handle bars. I converted my drop downs to upright albatross bars. 2) Get a Brooks saddle with springs. B67 or B66 depending on the mount. The only problem now is that most manufactures manufacture frames with too steep of a seat tube angle for this setup, so you have to push your seat as far back in the adjustment as possible. I still however enjoy the ride of bent's much more. |

I think you were responding to my post(as I can't find any other
references to a recumbent for sale in this thread). I'm in the Chicago area if you're interested in my Limbo. Best regards, John |
