Hej kamrater liggister! Lite vinterläsning. Wisil försöker vara pedagogiska och hjälper oss att bygga en fungerande "Streamliner" och undvika de vanligaste fallgroparna. http://www.wisil.recumbents.com/wisil/Plans/how_to_build_a_streamliner.htm

Inledande text här nedanför.... By Warren Beauchamp 12/9/03 I am somewhat dismayed by the number of faired HPV projects that turn out badly and and never used or only used a couple of times. One of the goals of the [ http://www.wisil.recumbents.com ]WISIL site has been to provide enough information about how to build a good fairing that it would allow someone to build one that actually works for them the first time. This web page will bring many of the thoughts, tips and recommendations together into one place. This is the first installment, page one, which defines the 3 main types of streamliners, and attempts to describe the items needed to make a successful vehicle. Page 2 will describe various building techniques to construct a fairing. Vehicle Types Before you decide to build a faired bicycle, you need to decide what you will use it for. The design of a bike intended for use as a commuter is completely different than that of one designed for straight line speed. Because of this I will discuss three basic types of streamliner: 1) The practical streamliner or velomobile. 2) The club racer streamliner 3) The speedbike streamliner In addition, I will discuss the two major aspects of these vehicles, the fairing, and the chassis (the bike!) The rider of each these vehicles has very different set of criteria that his vehicle must meet.
