I've often wondered if Rohloff plus Schlumpf (to give more lower gears for going up hills) would be the ideal gearing combination for any kind of recumbent.

BentMikey said:I'm not trying to have a debate on trikes vs two wheelers. Both are good and I like all sorts of cycles. I'm simply pointing out that many people don't realise quite how high a gear you can start off safely in, with the exception of fixed riders perhaps.
