My 3rd Recumbent

Post by Grldtnr »

Image I bought another bike, a Peer Gynt',low miles ,little usage, near enough completely original save a rear tyre, complete with Sanyo Dyno, which doesn't seem to work , probably the bulbs have a blown, a common fault when back in the day, and the front tyre needs replacing,could be tricky as it's not a common size 500A ×28c ,or put another way 28-440needs a clean , then I can explore how to ride it.

Yup ,Msgura hydraulic brakes, not sure they are a good thing to have. But then cable runs would be long and convoluted.
This will be an undiscovered journey

The Magura hydraulic rim brakes on my KingCycle had the best action of anything I've ever known on an HPV.
