Use these tires on the EZ-1 and you'll be plenty fast: Schwalbe Marathon Racer 1.5 at 85psi and Schwalbe Big Apple at 70psi in front. Those are the max pressures. This combo of sizes gives the bike a...

I have a Sun EZ 3 USX (not the HD). All it's hardware features seem to be designed optimum as is. The only easy speed boost I suggest is to "faster" tires. The Schwalbe 1.5 Marathon Racers take 85psi...

How's the leg?

I bet you need look no further for the cause -- the bike's washout was a simple matter of a flat front tire. Over 250,000 miles of riding leads me to the fearful understanding that an almost...

I'd commute on a BEATERBENT and use the pricey one for the joy rides that begin and return to the house. I've always used a LIGHTWEIGHT straight cable with loops on the ends. To toss into the seat...

Any 20" fender set will fit. Planet Bike is an inexpensive brand. The original chainguards were too-soft a plastic and are the single substandard part on the bike. I managed to buy the last two...

I am so surprised I only chose my trikes to ride this season past. I have many good bents, including JanMM's old Rans Tailwind. They were all awesome. A third wheel would have made them awesomer. I...

The 2.00 width Schwalbe Big Apple works the best of the dozen tires I've used on my wonderful Sun EZ-1.

My Giant Revive rides fabulous. The Day 6 ergonomic looks the same. I ride full bents too, so I can compare. The crank-forward with back bolster IMHO is the most "posture neutral" of all designs....
