First Fall

I slid out the rear wheel of the attack the other day. Going around a left hand corner at about 25 to 30 kph(guess based on other riding around this corner) I think I may have applied the rear brake, not sure but have to justify it to myself. The rear let go and I was slipping across the road behind the bike. The left foot released from the pedal, the right did not, the left elbow lost some skin, the left buttock hit hard. I have a bruise on the bum and a sore elbow but nothing serious.
I am waiting for a speedo mount from the lbs next week. I also need to look at smartubes for drink bottles as the current bottle location is too hard to replace after drinking and this prevents drinking while riding.
I am enjoying the riding and the balance is getting better.

New Bent in the stable

I have bought and am now riding a TW-Bents Attack. The first ride was today, a bit shaky at times but generally a great ride. I need to do a few more adjustments. I have the disk brake version and fitted shimano SPD pedals

Noted items on the bike includes
1. The lower chain tube bounces a bit and sometiems flicks into my shoe.
2. The very rare foot wheel interference
3. The unit could fit 700 wheels if required.
4. I noticed more road noise/vibration. This could be due to the higher pressure tyres
5. Speed looks good but I will need aa speedo to confirm this. I have a mounting kit for an Echo F2 on order to use a spare speedo I already have. This model also has cadence.
6. The SRAM shifters are stiff but operate well and took little time to get used to the correct direction.

In all I am looking forward to riding this bike.
