I went back to the Cumberland Transit bike shop and found out that the rear idler toothed wheel that is attached to the back axle, had the Allen bolt come loose and was moved to the right far enough that the chain had broken 3 lengths. Bolt tightened and a new final chain put on and it works like a top. I am still amazed how much easier it is to climb hills. No strain it is not, but still much easier.

This blog is about two of my hobbies. Riding my Kettwiesel Recumbent Trike and taking pictures of the Nashville Area. I just bought this trike after owning an EZ-3 trike for 5 years and an EZ-1 before that. I am going to take it out of the neighborhood to the greenways of Nashville and other nearby areas. I will post pictures taken while riding and other pictures of the Nashville Area. Have fun, get fit, ride safe.

How much is involved in changing the chain ring (sprocket wheel?) and chain to make it easier to do hills? How expensive is it?
Thanks for the email.
