This was my first ever bike build, and my first ever composite
project.


Very cool project.

Where'd you get the instructions/info on working with composites? At
teh very least I'd be insterested in reading about how.

I'm building a SWB/ASS. Interested to know if anybody here
has personal experience with a rowingbike with its cable
drive instead of chain drive. Are the Shimano parts pretty
expensive, considering that the bike can run $2,100 or so?
The snek unit is the part I am considering. Anybody built
a recumbent with rowingbike-style drive?


I saw my first rowbike yesterday, while it may be good in some instances

it
looked cumbersome and slow on something like a jogging trail.

A rowingbike, as I see it, can manage a hill but with
considerable difficulty. Because it's an intermittant
power stroke. So on a substantial hill, it can potentially
come down to a very unstable speed before the next power
stroke. Great for a level course, though.
And being able to use aviation cable instead of chain
would be nice, too.
But the snek is likely to be so pricey.

Do LWBs and hills go together? As I understand it, the lightly loaded
front wheel may have a tendency to lift or at least slide around if it
goes onto sand/gravel, especially when going up hill.


I haven't seen a recum[b]ent yet that didn't slide around in sand and gravel[.]


But the recumbent trike will stay upright when ridden with a modest
degree of prudence.
