Hi Jurgen and all.
My experiences with iLean is very positive, but I made some early
decisions which have made them work for me, they are
Use 75mm unicycle cranks: this minimises wheel scrub during cornering.
Use custom made shafts to mount wheels, that is bbshaft at
https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4201871/files
Use 349 size 16" wheels, these take up a bit less space, and the iLean
mech provides good suspension despite the small wheel size.
Up till a few weeks ago when I made the rear suspension bike, 90% or
so of my riding was on iLean and that has included a flat 1200k Audax
ride. In general I explain it by saying it's just a way to make the
frame simple and that overall the cycle remains simpler than if you
had a split rear fork. I think every other leaning trike mechanism is
more complex.
Overall I wouldn't have used them as much as I have if they didn't
give good results.
Best wishes
Steve Nurse
Thanks Steve.
What are your experiences with the iLean tilting mechanism?
Regards from Jürgen.

In the past few weeks I've built a rear suspension trike and have
finished a summary of the build. The suspension depends on having afront
hollow rectangular frame. My build is on a fixed bottom bracket
wheel drive bike, but I think the idea would work just as well onan MBB
like the python. Here is the link,http://modularbikes.blogspot.com/2021/10/rear-suspension-bike-summaryhtml
