Rowingbike info
Look here http://www.rowingbike.com/main.php?sNewDept=GB-Home
that is the real rowingbike Grtx Adj "Mark Leuck" skrev i en meddelelse . .. "Michael Baugh" wrote in message .. . 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. |

Rowingbike info
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. arjan de jong wrote: Look here http://www.rowingbike.com/main.php?sNewDept=GB-Home that is the real rowingbike Grtx Adj "Mark Leuck" skrev i en meddelelse . ..

Building a recumbent
Mark Leuck wrote: wrote in message ... 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. -- Tom Sherman - Fox River Valley |
