[python] Re: Python/Hipparion Trike

But - what´s about stability when braking hard with a Python/Hippo
only by front brake?


Contrary to older expectations, the python does not fold up when
front braking hard at higher speeds. At least I never noticed this.
I suppose the trike version to behave similar.

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?


No idea - maybe you get that from wheelchair suppliers.

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!). 

Right. Due to the bigger steering/pedalling interference these bikes are
easier to control. Problem is that the same interference turns out to
be an nuisance lateron. Jürgen Maier owns a TT clone and reported that
he always has to pedal with a slight outward force, similar to the
movement when roller-skating.

I am planning to do a thorough investigation about this in the next
weeks and hope for the lists support ...

Has someone in this mailing-list experiences whith the TT-bike-concept
(positive trail but moderate head angles)??


At least Jürgen Maier and Laurent Dechenne have lots of experience.

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!? 

Be sure that we have treated much wackier bikes here in this list ;-)

Jürgen.
