Thanks for the input guys. Yes Henry, I have been looking at your design before (nice idea indeed). The reason I want a different setup is that I prefer more control over the suspension (especially when a trailer is attached). When using a air spring I can easily adjust tension and rebound, or could even lock it when the trailer is too bouncy on the rear. I hope this new design will solve my problems with high speed cornering too. My pythonjetrike still seems to be too stable and I think I prefer a steady trackwidth when cornering. I am also thinking about front suspension, because -as you say- it gives more benefit to the whole. Though, that will be a different story.

In reality, the front wheel carried a greater proportion of the riders weight, so the benefits of adding suspension to the rear was limited - though it did make some difference. http://jetrike.com/jetrike-mods.html Kind regards, -h On 28/06/2012, at 9:57 PM, Patrick van Gompel wrote:Hello, I am planning to build a new leaning Python trike and made a simple setup out of Lego.
