Hello Minko, soon I'll be buying my recumbent. But before buying I would like to know your opinion about front suspension. Is it really necessary or is it better to save the weight and just buy one with a normal fork? Comfort is important for me, but if the difference is small then I don't see the point. I'm asking because I don't want to buy the bike and then realize that I should have bought it with front suspension. My guess is that it's not that important since 80% of your weight is in the back. Let me know what you think. Thank you
Hi Tiago, yes it is not really needed. Make sure there is enough space in the fork to buy a fat wider front tyre if needed. This will give you enough comfort. I ride two recumbents, one without and one with front suspension. I dont notice a big difference In confort. Which one are you gonna buy? I also saw on marktplaats a guy who had a recumbent bike rental place who is retiring. He sells a lot of bikes for
@@thewizardofoh i haven't decided yet which one. I really wanted a Nazca cruiser but the ones that are for sale people are not really responding. So they are probably sold. Second option is a optima lynx. It's also a nice one. It will depend of who will answer to my messages I guess. There are some challenges, but they are a bit pricey. Will see.
@@TiagoRuivo I saw your bid on a nice HP Streetmachine on marktplaats for a very good price. Hope you can get it! It has under seat steering, but I think you can change it later for above seat handlebars.
@@thewizardofoh I did, but he out bid me. I also think it's a bit strange that there's only one photo.i asked for more but the guy ignored me. I think it's some scam. 200 is just too little for that bike. And 400 is too much for me since I can buy something a lot cheaper. I tried an optima linx and an M5 with shock proof, but I wasn't happy with any. However now I know what I want, and definetly it's a cruiser, something on the lines of the Nazca cruiser or explorer or that hp. The super sporty position is not what I'm looking for. Will see, I have one deal already aligned but living in Cadzand is not easy to get to the cities, and it's pretty expensive. I need to be patient I guess.
@TiagoRuivo There is now a yellow cruiser on Mp, and it is in Bruinisse, Zeeland.
