On Thursday evening I mounted my 28″ wheel again on my recumbent with a heavy obligation tire. I wished to attempt that set-up out off-road. Yesterday I took it to Coyote Valley Open Area, Northeast of Morgan Hill, and it labored out positive, though I need to admit an upright bike with fats tires is healthier fitted to this. I then headed up north in direction of San Jose on Santa Teresa boulevard. I used to be shocked how briskly the bike felt, theoretically it must be barely much less aerodynamic than my arrange with two 20″ wheels, though that could be offset as a result of the 28″ rear wheel has a bit much less rolling resistance. After about 90 minutes I rotated, and located a had a extreme headwind to combat by to get house. So this became a reasonably robust exercise, with a median coronary heart price of 118. However I made it house okay. Surprisingly, my common velocity was 12.6 mph which is a bit greater than I’ve been doing currently. So I suppose 28/20 actually is quicker. Posted on Strava right here.
