    Long chains like this tandem/recumbent offering are probably just
    longer pieces broken from the same spool, not patched-together shorter
    pairs:

    That chain is barely long enough for my small drive wheel bikes [1], and
    would be too short for large drive wheel recumbents where 240-260 link
    chains are often needed.

    Those just 'look' like footnotes. They are really
    'Shermanisms'. :-)

    LOL! Hi Lewis, good to see that some of the old time regulars are still
    checking in. You still riding that Tour EZ clone barefoot? One time I tried
    to joke with Bill Patterson about a photo of him and SO on their tandem
    (wife, I assume) stoker wearing what looked like high heels. Probably all
    those years spent with engineering students left him desentized to smart-ass
    attempts at humor.

    How have the solid tires been performing? You were one of the early adopters
    IIRC, but the chatter about better polymers and more sizes seems to have
    faded beyond background noise now, kinda like DuMonde Tech lubes.

    got bent, got old, got a trike.

    I haven't ridden a 'bent in many years now and my feet have completely
    healed up. :-)

    Since retiring and going 'car-free' I rode a single speed with
    AirfreeTires for several years and then switched to another bike, with
    a fixed gear, last year.

    My latest project is converting my fixie to a 3-speed (fixed), which I
    hope to have finished very soon.

    Kind regards.

    Lewis.

    Can't have smart-ass engineers around, can we?

    I'll have you know that I resemble that remark. And yes, she still goes
    on the tandem every day wearing high heels, makeup and high hair.

    How else to lunch here in "Sideways" country.

    LOL! Too bad more of the old timers don't hang out here anymore. We used to
    be able to chew the fat and toss the bull and talk about bents. Now there's
    just so much hostility and lack of common respect. And no sense of humor!

    Who are you calling dour, hostile and disrespectful? 😉

    I blame Beth (aka The Alaskan Recumbent Princess) for the decline, since
    she stopped posting (in the pre Mr. Ed days).
