Testing my new full suspension recumbent on pcc Interstate
After riding my new recumbent with the pcc organised interstate from Raub to Bukit Merah ( I did not complete the 3rd day ride to Lumut ), overall I am quite satisfied with its performance. On taking the steep long climbs to Ringlet, the new fully suspension HP recumbent is slower than my old rigid recumbent as small percentage of power went to the suspension. But on the other end,the suspension provided a more smoother and comfort ride on rough patches, especially obvious when taking a downhill corner.It was FAST and EASY which overtook many fast racing uprights. I also able to identify a few minor shortcomings and do a correction before flying for my Europe Alps tour staring from 11 May till 24 Aug 2011.
