Upgraded to my second recumbent
Hi everyone,
I'm new to the sub, but I still wanted to share my upgrade.
I started on a blue Challenge Twister, secondhand, 21 gears, magura breaks, understeer, back in 2023 when I was 26. It served me well but, unfortunately, it's on its last set of tires. Meaning, the upcoming maintenance is a bit too pricey for me. The rest rim is running out of material to break on, the brakes need replacing, stuff like that. It's been a fun commute the last couple of years though.
I've upgraded to a red Sinner Spirit with 54 gears (way more then necessary), understeer, kickstand and v-brakes that's hardly been used as far as I can judge. The price? €400. I've transplanted some parts i.e. the flag, lights, front wheel with a dynamo hub, oilled the chain and she's ready to go..
The picture of the Twister is after stepping and Spirit before adding the parts.
