    They are hard to find. Most shops do not know what it is either, Some claim to know, but if they don't have one they claim they are just a gimick. I finally found a shop that had one, made the appointment but when the (???). I want to be polite here, i am never politically correct but i try to not hurt peoples feelings if i can. If you took the dumbest idiot you know; grabbed a 2x4 and knocked his head "plumb" off, he would still be able to look at "their" rad setup and figure out how to make it work on a recumbent trike. The LBS tech could not. So what term should i have used for him when i told him to just give me my $85.00 back? I can almost promise you, it is not the term i used.lol And if i am ever in Florida again;which i don't forsee happening; i will try to apologize to the gentleman. :jiggy9:

    Since all my knee pains and problems started long before i ever thought about riding a bycycle, it makes it that much more ifficult to know if i am set up correctly or not. The rubbery lack of strength from too high rpms is now easy but it appears the pain will still require the chicken poop injections.. :jiggy9:
