Quote from MrOverdressed on Feb 17th, 2010, 2:53pm:The out-of-state fellow changed his mind. So the Rev-X wheel-set is available for purchase. These Carbon wheels really do make a noticeable difference, especially when your hammering (good power transfer) and/or cruising above 20mph (areo profile). For my local recumbent brothers (and sisters), Im willing to add a few extras: A Skewer set, either a 135mm or 140mm rear (with 100mm front) skewers. Plus I will also include a custom geared 9 speed cassette, made from SRAM PG970 gear cogs. Jay seems to like the custom set that I had on the XStream. On Jay's cassette I removed a few of the larger cogs and I also removed the 12T and added more mid range cogs for more cruising-speed options on flat land. Think of it as a cruising cassette with an over drive gear (11T) for down-hill and bail out gears for up steep hills. Terry, For me, the single-step, mid-range cogs you have added improve the rideabiliy of the bike. I really like the way it rides. My other bikes are jealous, because I've been riding only the X Stream. Jay G.
