[python] Re: Python/Hipparion Trike

Hi,

thanks to Dirk, Jürgen and Jukka for advice! I think I keep the wheelbase at 
1050mm. Still quite short, I will sit very near to the front axle because of 
the 16 inch frontwheel and hope the relation between front length (pivot to 
front axle) and rear length (pivot to rear axle) is ok for a stable ride. I 
expect to have 2/3 of the weight on the single front wheel (without luggage) - 
good conditions for a solid braking power only with front brake. But - what´s 
about stability when braking hard with a Python/Hippo only by front brake? 
Another question: where can I get affordable hubs for stub axles? Which 
standard hub can easyly (like the sachs drumbrakes) be modified for 12mm axles?

And a question about an older Topic: I think it was Dirk who wrote, that 
learning to ride a TT-bike is a thing of only a few minutes (correct me, if I´m 
false!). Has someone in this mailing-list experiences whith the TT-bike-concept 
(positive trail but moderate head angles)?? Yes, I know, this is a mailing list 
for center-steered bikes whith negative trail, but may be someone of you had 
tried this more conventional concept and can tell advantages and disadvantages!?

Thank you again,

Christoph
