Hi Paul,
Considering your cantilevered rear hubs and heavy duty loadbed, I think the
best option would be to mount the wheels on swingarms. The axle they swing
around can go all the way through and link them together, reducing outward
leaning in corners ("anti-roll bar"). Rubber blocks would fit this setup pretty
well.
Regards
Mirek

Have you tried thicker seat cushion? 2” dense foam over few layers of
cardboard is good enough for me. Soft balloon tires also help.

I ride over poor surfaces but no the kind that would be smoothed out
wheel it would reduce the individual load on the pivot components
I was hoping that by using the ' bike ' suspension for each rear
compare with both wheels pivoted and sprung from one point ?
leaning , or course leaning on it's own is not suspension it just
As I cannot ride a Python bike and only a trike I have not considered
reduces the cornering forces and increases complexity and weight.
would create outside lean when cornering? Unless you hace some lean

Hello Paul,
any special reason for separate suspension? I would expect that
steer construction in mind?
nasty shake, specaly in Winter when one wheel might have to run onI am thinking about suspention for my trike too. It can give you a
gravel or ice.
cornering

Each wheel with a block of it's own.
I realise there is a risk of it not being rigid enough for the
block,stress ?
Only one way to find out :-)

Hi Paul,
do you want to suspend the whole trike rear end with one rubber

Hi all
Been riding my trike for 6 years now My Python trike builds
however a few
and fancy building a new rear end with suspension.
The original Python suspension looks the easiest option ,
? I amquestions ?
1) Will using 20" forks and wheels change any of the dimensions
from innerunder 80kg but may want to carry up to 20kg of camping gear ?
2) Is the rubber block available in Germany say from Ebay ?
3) If I decided to make my own as suggested using circles cut
mind theretubes how tall should it be ? and what diameter bearing in
python-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxxwill be 2 wheels suspended.============================================================
