Bacchetta Giro 20 report.
I just got my first recumbent, a Giro 20 with the Euromesh seat. So far I really like it, except for the shifting. The seat is very comfortable. I was worried about the tweener bars hitting my knees, but that tuned out to be a non issue. The riser adjustment on the stem allows you to get the bars up really high if you want. It's not really necessary though since the bars are much wider than I thought. I was also happy with the fact that I can go down gravelly dirt roads without too much trouble. I thought I might need wider tires, but the 1.25" seems like it works pretty well. The only trouble I'm having is with the shifting with the rear cassette. If I adjust it so that it will shift down to all the lower rings it won't shift back up them. If I adjust it to shift up to all the higher rings then it won't shift down. Someone told me to put the cassette on the smallest ring and then make sure all the slack is out of the cable. I'm going to try that. If that doesn't work then I'll adjust it so that it shifts down to the lower rings. To shift up I'll just over shift and then shift back down. Eventually I'll probably get some sort of friction shifter. |

For shifting, see www.parktool.com which has a good guide on sorting your shifting. It is probably the limit screws that are the problem not the cable. Zebee |

Or dare I say the local bike shop that "setup" the bike is the problem :-/. -- I do not accept unsolicited commercial e-mail. Remove NO_UCE for legitimate replies. |
