I was there! Great day. Got soaked coming back on Weds morning though.

Aero rims and aero drum brakes this year. Plus a bent cross-axle which might make it easier to mount and dismount.

Have reverted to the 38-406 tyre on the narrower rim. There was quite a lot of lateral resistance with the 49-406 and it made for a heavier package.

Where are you located?

I don't think anyone has mentioned recumbentparts.com or toxy.de. Also Nazca has a parts web shop.

I've just ordered a Maxxis DTH BMX Race tyre in 49-406 size. I currently have it as 38-406 and am impressed but think it worth trying a larger width. I previously used a 50-406 BA which was fine but I want something lighter and quicker. Been running the 49-406 DTH for a while now, though on a diffe...

Hi. I'd be very surprised if anyone in the UK has one. The tall seat height is the reason I excluded it from consideration but I'm confident you'd be ok. I'm impressed by the design and the compny. It should be easier to keep in a straight line than the Stratus when climbing thanks to the indirect u...

Or if you want to see some Radicals (the mid-size ones, 55 litres) on a Nazca... Just noticed how much lighter the Radical Design bags are. I was hoping the Ortliebs would be easier to mount one at a time but I'm not so sure now. The curved frame on the Paseo is not very friendly towards the Ortlie...

Weather forecast is good. Planning on using my Nazca recumbent this time around. I made it round on my RANS last year, although I did push it through East Cowes.

The EU has since last year slapped something like a 36% tarrif on electric bikes from China. Anticompetitive or what? I think you'll find that the levy on Chinese made ebikes started in January 2019 as an anti-dumping measure ..... on the upside it's surprising how many ebikes are made elsewhere in...

I forget about the Speedmachine. It does seem that European bent bike manufacture is all about tourers with HPV, Azub and Nazca slogging it out. Shame that ICE stopped making bikes.

Announcement on web site, reducing product range. No more Fuego or Paseo. Shame but glad the company is continuing in the market.

On my bent I use an old Ultegra triple with a Sora compact double FD. Have a Spa guard as the outer. Standard ring bolts. Shifter is a gripshift triple. Rings are 30\42.
