Hey Derek, Nice looking set up. I did something similar a few months ago; I used old handlebars, cut to the correct length, to mount my old Yakima tray rack to...
My ride is starting to suck. I realize that most of what sucks is frame related -- it doesn't fit quite right, the bottom bracket is too old, the headset...
last i read on the Surly Blog they were saying that it should be avail this fall. so im guessing this winter. im waiting too. peace...d "Every time I see an...
Stay plugged in at http://www.surlybikes.com/surlyblog.html Release date keeps getting pushed back as the design and manufacturing details get worked out....
A week or two ago, I emailed Surly and asked them about it. Eric Sovern replied, saying late summer to fall. You're right, though, the date keeps getting...
Hmm, this sentence from their website is interesting: http://www.yubaride.com/cargobikes-projects.html "When buying a Mundo directly from *yubaride.com *in...
I sent off some question to Yuba.com and this is their reply. Sue, Thank you very much for your message. The Mundo 6-speed uses a simple derailleur system like...
Wow. That hits the sweet spot for a lot of uses. I might not want to use it to haul groceries up and over the local hill, but it's pretty, and it's sturdy,...
I just put an xtracycle on an early nineties Kona Explosive with a rigid fork. This frame was built before front suspension was the norm so it was designed...
Hi Jason, I can't comment on how that particular frame reacts with the xtracycle, but I can say that my bikes have all handled differently when the freerad is...
I'll chime in on this too... I'd agree with both sentiments. the Xtracycle is very different from what the bike use to be. my biggest gripe is not being able...
Hey folks, I was in New York City on Friday and checked out the DESIGN FOR THE OTHER 90% exhibit at The Cooper-Hewitt Museum of Design. This is the exhibit...
... There is more weight on it because the rear wheel is moved back. One thing you can fiddle (depending on your kickstand plate) is the height of your bottom...
Hi, I originally put my xtracycle on an Orange mountain bike. It was terrible, flexy and bad handling on the front end. I have since mounted it on a front...
the bottom bracket height is going to change based on chainstay length, bottom bracket drop and wheel size. as the bike gets either tilted up or down, the...
I'll second Alex - I use an xtra on a cheap front suspended mountain bike with nice big fat smooth tyres. Front suspension works nicely with xtra, and changing...
... that was a big thing for me as I liked to wheely all the time and never saw curbs as an obstacle, just a bunny hop opportunity. I have gotten to where I...
... Ditto for the footsies. Weirdest thing is, it hurts like hell when you do it, but so far, no lasting ill effects. (I run the footsie tube right up my...
I've learned the bunny hop = front wheel off the ground trick, but its still not that smooth graceful move you can do on a regular bike. my convert is to a...
I just learned about Xtracycle in a Co-op America newsletter, then did some additional researching about it on the Internet. WOW! I'm really intrigued. I'll...
Justina, Greetings from a West Seattle Xtracycler. I use my Xtracycle to haul my 7 year old daughter and her small bicycle around town. Check out some photos...
I did check out your photos. I like your set-up. My son is probably too big for the PeaPod, so he would have to be sitting on the deck side- saddle, I'm...
Hi Justina, I don't know how much a 9 year old weighs, but my first reaction is that it is very doable. I've found with the xtracycle, if there is a will,...
My 9 year old weights about 70 lbs, all muscle, and growing fast! Of course, it is my hope that the bigger and stronger he gets, the more time he will spend...
No problems on the back then :) Have fun! ... From: alligator33333 <jvoulgaris1@...> To: rootsradicals@yahoogroups.com Sent: Wednesday, June 13, 2007...
... I am bigger, and I think that may matter. ... On 2 miles of flat ground, it is absolutely no problem to haul a child of about that size, and a bicycle, and...
... I have to concur with this. Ride your route with some weight. I have some killer hills, and I ride an old Gary Fisher + FreeRadical + Burley D'Lite. They...
