Hi Randy. I'm a Brit just getting into building bents (onto my 3rd prototype now) and have been disappointed at how little power I seem to be able to put down and how poorly (ie slowly) they climb compared to my road bike. I'm experimenting with body-hip angles and note that you have two quite different approaches between your trike and bike; the trike is EXTREMELY laid back (= very open body-hip angle) while the bike has a very upright rider position AND high BB (= very closed body-hip). Can you tell me which works best (for you) and why? Many thanks. Nick PS Both trike and bike are very impressive. Respect!

Does that mean you shaped the underside of the rear of the helmet to match the tailfairing?
In essence. I just cut off the downward curved portion.
