Hope the pics take.

I had the following installed on my Catrike Road for X-mas:

1. Marathon Plus tires and thorn proof tubes
2. 24" MTB rims all way round
3. SRAM - 81 gear set up
4. Rotor cranks
5. Fenders and rear rack

24” rim initial ride results (two weeks):

1. Braking...saw no effects.
2. Steering...turn around ability has decreased, but was not significant.
3. More comfortable...yes, especially when I hit the small imperfections in the road. With wider tires, ride is smoother and quieter.
4. etc...getting in and out trike is easier since I am two inches higher off the ground.

SRAM – 81 gear set up
Speed on flats improves significantly

Rotor cranks
1. Knee pain less
2. Climbing easier

I like all but the hose clamp in Picture 059 - looks cheap.

Just Kidding!!! - NICE!!!!!!!!

Those are cool looking bikes !! :D You have a lot of lights on the orange one(nice color). Has anyone ever reported you as a low flying UFO??

PS...The hose clamp secures a mounting bracket to the frame for my reflector flag.

cool, I also have a catrike speed. I also have a rotorcrank installed. All my recumbents have rotors on them though. They really do help acceleration and climbing ability.
