Yeah it's like a lycra material, but the material is different to Sinner Mangos. That one feels stronger on the Mango, but I don't think I have some of my covers tight enough yet either. I know my left side one is looser, and needs tightening.}SkOrPn--7 wrote:Stuart what are the covers made from is it like Lycra material? the clips are neat which adds to the over all appeal because there hard to be seen.

Also with my tyres having to come off, I think it's time to check the wheels over as well. Trike is over 900kms now

Yes looks like you need to tighten the draw string a bit. Did you have to cut the hoe for the brake or was it ready done and reinforced?
Looking forward to pictures of the fairing and a report.
Riggsbie.
Take a look here.
The Alans Fabric Disks tab (at top of page) show how the fabric bit is made and the hoop
The Fabric Disks tab shows the way to make clips similar to the ones Stuart and I have.

I read that web page last year sometime, I even bought 1m2 of 0.7mm ABS black plastic as well but it got used on something else.....
Not sure I need to worry now as the Mango could only be a month away......
So what is the % age improvement with all the tweaks ?

Well lets just say you can spot Stuart from about a mile away now.
Certainly looks the part.

How fast does it go on the flat now (average) and how much of an improvement is it?

1 of phils, one of mine both different setups. Drums and disks
Tonight I'll finish mine off so I can go for a short ride Saturday to make sure the wheels are all good, but Avonguard has been killed for me Wanted to do that Audax ride but rather play it safe with recent maintenance.

My ICE Vortex spokes are constantly singing to me, they seem pretty even in tension but there is an odd one here and there which feel rather 'loose'....
Is there a guide to re-tensioning spokes ?

Already built a Rohloff, 2 son hubs, and a set of other wheels already. First time working on trike wheels, been interesting as not much material out there about it. I've got no qualms about building a rear hub for my trike as I'm quite annoyed by the capreo hub.... Capreo hub is locked to the freehub which is locked to the hub, so I'm already planning a new rear wheel. Don't want to take full size tools with me, but I'm going to have to for my Perth - Adelaide trip...}SkOrPn--7 wrote:Way to go Stuart you will be building your own wheel now that you have fiddled with truing and tensioning spokes it's just a natural progression.

Shimano TLHG09 and chainwhip when I could just been carrying a hypercracker which I already own...

Today with new trykers tyres.Nobody wrote:Thanks for the reply. If you get some numbers in the future (like no wind flat ground average) versus previous under the same conditions, I'll be interested to know.
I was having fun with DF today riders Today I had 4 PRs in strava, 4 2nd fastest times and one third faster times. Faster times where on my Masi. But I just checked it on Strava for my third faster times... Say What 1 sec between faster, 2nd and 3rd.... That WILL change....
Btw I am about 120-122kg right now so that isn't helping much.
Back to commuting this week so I'll be able to see better, but definitely faster
And today, WOOHOO no more noise when turning! 2 possiblies... Reflector on front wheels were removed due to disks on. Spokes where tighten up.

120kg doing 33.8ph over 12km, that was my fastest time as well according to strava and I've done that segment a few times.

So what were the earlier average speeds over this 12Km before the fairing and wheel covers? Just trying to put a number on the changes.Baalzamon wrote:Does the fairing make a difference, do the wheel covers make a difference YES

My fairing was set up a little differently to Baalzamon's picture, the nose is up higher to just cover the bottom stroke of the feet, the aft is closer to my chest and flatter. Same model fairing. This made getting in and out not as easy, the mounts for the fairing I'd made myself and the centre mount had a pivot half way up the post with a quick release, when getting out the fairing is flexible and will put up with being tilted up and forward however there still isn't much room. I like my trike with the quick dismount where both feet are unclipped, the brakes locked and forward momentum brings me to my feet while stopping the trike, the ballistic dismount (scares the hell out of yapping dogs), something the fairing doesn't allow. I also like to hang my trike on the garage wall, just enough height to fit the dinnerplate but not a nose. So the fairing is stowed away.
I'll bring it out if Mr Baalzamon wishes to have fairing trials down Lesmurdie Hill.

Well this was the 1st time I've done that run with my trike. Previously it has been my uprights, and I got a PR with my trike and fairing. Doing a run to work this week tomorrow.Nobody wrote:So what were the earlier average speeds over this 12Km before the fairing and wheel covers?
