Hi Everyone!
So I am new to the world of recumbent bicycles as I just purchased a Sun EZ Speedster AX model. This is my first bent I've ever owned. I have always been a mountain bike rider here in WV. The hills and terrain made for some great riding. However, after my fourth bout of cancer in 2012, I had given up all hope of ever riding again. I simply can no longer ride upright and bent over on my Specialized 29er.

So I got to reading all I could about bents and everything pointed to the fact that a bent would allow me to ride again. I actually pick it up tomorrow and though used, it was extremely cared for. Not a scratch on it. It is all stock parts.

My questions would be: what are some of the best upgrades for recumbent bikes and what are the best ones to lighten the bike up a bit? I know a good wheelset would be one of the main things I would consider. But what I'm having a very hard time is finding online shops/stores that carry accessories for recumbent bikes. I am after any and all the information I can get my hands on. Is there even a magazine dedicated to bents?

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Glad to be a part of this forum and look forward to hearing back from each of you.
Ride on and ride safe!
