I took my first test-run from my house to my office and back tonight. The 6 mile round trip took 30 minutes (including three stops for adjustments).
On the way back I took off pedaling into a bit of a head wind, once I hit 7mph I gave the bike some gas and sped up. Just about then a gust of wind hit me and the engine died. A mile or so later I turned into a strong wind (from riding perpendicular to it) and the engine died. Both times I just restarted it and took off riding again.
I'm using a Staton friction kit with a Robin/Subaru EH035.
Is this sort of headwind problem common? And by strong wind I mean a steady wind of 20 mph with gusts of 25 to 30.
Thanks,
Tracy
