Siwmae Jurgen,
Servus Rhisiart,
This recent comment that you put on the list provokes another
question from me: When you say less efficient, do you mean less so
aerodynamically, or ergonomically?
Like Thomas P Jahn wrote, a higher BB brings aerodynamic advantages.
If your seat is reclined (even less air drag) it also brings a better
power output by better ergonomics.
I ask because I see that I shall have to have a full-time, head-out
full fairing for my python to be a realistic car-substitute, in our
weather. And the shaping of the fairing will be helped considerably
if the uppermost sweep of my toes on the pedals is kept relatively
low. But does that mean an inherently less efficient action? Anyone
else have any specialist knowledge about this?
First I hope that you plan your full fairing for the trike version and
not for the bike. If the inclination of the seat is more upright the
efficiency will not suffer much (but yourself might suffer from
recumbent butt).
It's relevant to say that the fairing will be tailored as slim as
possible, to fit the the bike python, and the alternate trike back
end will have its wheels outside the main faring, with
mudguard/farings on each back wheel, similar to the Leitra's front
wheel fairings.
Ok - better forget the idea of a fully faired two wheel Python.
Cheers,
Jürgen.
