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.
