Cons Rans APE position.

Rans posted a suggestion for the setup of your steering, which I tried.

Bein a typical recumbent rider, I wanted to tinker with an already good thing.

I did the flip of the steering column as indicated and found a lot of complications on my
RANS rockets.

1) The cable housings were too short at the top of the steering column. That mean longer housing and
a longer rear brake and derailler cable. Recumbent length cables were hard to find. (I had to go
down to Urbane Cyclist, which a few people we just at yesterday.)

2) You still have to swap your grips around.

I do like the more open feel. But if found that when I make sharp turns the top post rubs the inner
thigh a little.
