Azub 5 after 17.000 km

You could already read about Marija Kozin on our blog. In spring 2009 she came to our facility to show us her Azub 5 after 17.000 km. Almost everything was original. Chain, crankset, cassette, pedals, rear tyre Maraton XR (fron Maraton was changed twice). The pulley had to be changed because the bearings were worn out, also the chain tubes were changed, but we were surprised how much they survived.

All around, we are pretty satisfied with the bike and how it survived such journey.

You can see some pictures here.

Marija´s Kozin expedition recumbent

Here are some pictures of Marija´s expedition AZUB 5. She traveled with this recumbent from Beijing to Slovenija alone and she covered around 17.000 km. The equipment of her bike was specialy chosen for such a long trip and surprisingly most of the parts has survived all the journey incl. chain, chain guides (tubes), pulley etc. Well, we recommend to change the chain guides after 7000 to 10.000 km, but as you can see they survive much longer. Not to speak about chain and casette…
