This is a version of the video with the new footage and edit, but the resolution's not optimal unless you're watching it in HD.

  • @ponypruhest, Yes that makes sense, will scrub the 50/50 weight distribution idea. Best choice then is save for lightfoot  Ranger. Thanks again

  • @0urGaia

    I think the entire point of a LWB in offroad is that you sit far back from the front wheel. I have a Cruzbike and If I go up some speed bumps at speed I get sent flying. You dont want to do that when you need steering ability.

  • @ponypruhest, Hase Tagun is more expensive than ranger (ranger frameset 65% off full price). Yes already decided overseat and heart set on LWB. If I build one will use rear of cheaper mountain bike (many have bolt-on rears to central frame). Remember seeing review of moded LWB with extended rear (cargo bike) and review said handling was way better because rider was more central - distributed weight 50/50 over wheels. So might be better build my own as planning long distance touring.

    I think lightfootcycles sells frame set for international orders. Or build upon Hase Tagun frame. But you need a totally new rear end to mount at least 26" tires. A new front fork is not so hard, but you sort of need that too. SWB alternatives are Azub Hardcore/max, Meta-bikes MetaPhysics, Optima Condor/cougar/orca, possibly others. On bentrideronline he said that he advises for Over Seat Steering because Under Seat Steering is wider, which is a problem in tight places.

  • @ponypruhest, I have been looking the ranger for some time but is costly to import australia. Been toying with the idea of building my own, but if I can raise some dosh will get the ranger. Appreciate you passing on the info, thanks

  • @0urGaia

    He wrote on Bentrideronline that it is specially build for him. He also wrote that he considers LWB more capable offroad than SWB. There are a few commercially available SWB recumbents marketed for offroad, and some which might be converted for light usage, but he also wrote that if his bike broke, he would try a Ranger from Lightfootcycles.

  • Love the bent, what make or is it home made.

  • 480p is not really what I consider HD.

  • Cool!
