The recumbent trikes from AZUB offer a variety of adjustment opportunities for you to have the most comfortable ride possible. They call this adjustment series the IPS or Ideal Positioning System. In this video I go over the basics of AZUB’s IPS on my AZUB Model TiFLY recumbent trike. If you want to see the bulding of my new trike in Czechia, look at this playlist: th-cam.com/play/PLCXSKSR1qp-sWBhot-NOqB-KBWx7bkCPO.html Want to see my Tour in Italy: th-cam.com/play/PLCXSKSR1qp-u-5cfdrPdpDB51Jd7VWqZA.html
Great job with the video I like how you showed doing adjustemtns and changes to the seat. Enven more so I like the you on purpose had your seat stays in the wrong angle to show how to adgust them to the right angle. Along with explaing why it needs to be at the 90 degree angle.
I just finished 8 825km on Ice Adventure 2...Rholoff hub at the back...Slumph Drive in the front....and what a joy it was...Last day I did 200km back home in one go !! I am 68 living in Australia...perfect country for cycling...but remember...its a hard country...that will through everything at you !!!!
Hey OML I ride an ICE adventure with rohloff 14 too. So far only overnighters of about 250k but looking to do a few days more while avoiding a gear trailer. If ur ever in Oz & up Cootamundra way let Brett know from RSC and we should be able to join u on a ride. Cheers.
HP's new Ergo Mesh Premium seat offers similar adjustments as the AZUB has. I ordered my Scorpion Enduro with the Premium seat, and have not regretted that decision, albeit at the time I ordered my trike 2 1/2 years ago it was a $299 adder, today that same set retails for $899, glad I got mine when it was first introduced!!
Hey Matt, Fellow Michigander here. We just met you down at cycle con and had no idea you were SCS. We have some trails when if/when you are in town. Enjoyed the videos very much.
Matt.. you talked about seat positioning (forward and back) for weight distribution on front and back wheel.. it would make sense that if you have panniers (added rear weight) then maybe slide the seat forward to redistribute some weight to the front wheels. or move the seat back if you don't have panniers.. Thinking you could put the front wheels on a scale and then the rear wheel on the scale to see if the weight is distributed equally front and back.
I sort of mentioned that. As I was on a tour it was not as important to try to put more weight on the back wheel. Your right. Weighing the front wheels would be interesting.
@@JaYoeNation Thanks for picking up my long winded way of saying weigh the front and rear to balance tire grip on the road. :). I need to think more o abbreviating my thoughts. LOL
Did your seat cushions come with the trike? I'm looking for seat cushions for my Gekko 26 that will stop my recumbent numbness when I'm riding. My seat back is fully extended back.
I like this video but have one issue. Perhaps just for me but I think the leg extension should have a bit more bend when extended. Also love those big ass pedals, I will never go back to small ones. Best yet.
3:59 That's not the proper way of setting up leg extension because it assumes everybody's foot length and foot position on the pedal is the same. This method assumes that your foot position will be with the ball of the foot on the pedal axle, so it's especially ironic to use this method with Catalyst pedals since they're designed for a midfoot position where the pedal axle sits between both ends of the foot arch. Pedaling Innovations asserts that a midfoot position is superior to the forefoot position.
@@JaYoeNation At least according to some videos from Cade Media, the anecdotal evidence of their bike fit studio is that few to none of their customers experienced knee pain from saddles that were too low. Virtually all of their clients who experienced knee pain was because of saddles that were too high or something unrelated to saddle height. Their data could be skewed by the fact that far more of their customers come in with saddles that are too high than too low. But I think that goes to show that a lot of riders make the mistake of knee overextension. Obviously excepting the most casual/ignorant of riders who set saddle height based on saddle distance to the ground.

That adjustable seat is so cool. Wish mine had that ability. Great tips and tips, nicely explained.
The Azub IPS is innovative and seems very easy to adjust. Nice video presentation, Matt.

Haha honestly I had them wrong when I put the trike together for the trip. Worked out.

Yes I used a Burley Nomad trailer...no problem what so ever...

keep in touch... i want to explore this part of michigan more
For your next video could you try to explain what has happened to your trailer as a video
You are not the first one to request that. I’ll make one.
@@JaYoeNation awesome thanks
@@JaYoeNation is a bike just as good as a trike
@@TheBigLC they are really different on a lot of levels.

@@rdkuless no worries. You’re good
When you pack your trike for travelling do you shift the boom extension ?
I pull the boom out completely

The seat cushion is a dream seat from Azub
I like this video but have one issue. Perhaps just for me but I think the leg extension should have a bit more bend when extended. Also love those big ass pedals, I will never go back to small ones. Best yet.
I have a bend for sure. This was basically recommended from Azub. As long as you don’t lock the legs.
if the bracket part with a adjusment nut had a stop on the end you could lose the nut and drop it 2cm extra
Made it .
Is a bike just as good as a trike?
some ways better some ways worse

Thanks for the comment…. Not sure how AZUB would respond to this. I think I did it properly. But I can see what your talking about.

Hey don’t you do Chinese propaganda anymore?
Never did. Maybe you’re thinking of another channel
And also your thumb should be to far stretched when ringing the bicycle bell. Very important. You forgot that part.
Exactly. And for the perfect ring tone, your left testicle needs to be lodged atop your right.
