What trike model, what drive wheel size and tire and what gearing?

[KarlB]

Catrike Trail with standard gearing, 20x1.5 rear wheel. I've since replaced the 30t low chainring a 24t

I don't feel so bad about walking my Bacchetta up Unicoi Gap on BRAG now. I haven't mastered it on 3 mph uphills yet.

Nice ride, that looks like a real thrill :)

I took my trike up to the gatineau hills, took about 3 hours to get to the top, but it was a blast coming back down.

what computer is that?

[KarlB]

Specialized Speedzone Elite. I cut most of the cadence sensor wire out and spliced it into the speed sensor wire to work at this location.

Start sprinting a bit earlier in the big ring, you should be able to get another 3-5 mph out of that hill ;P

[KarlB]

I've hit 48 mph coming down the other side. A flat tire and I'd be road rash.

pain close to pleasure? wish i had your attitude. :-)

I caspeak from experience its a real b*tch to have to go back up
