I liked the pivot fairly free and smooth. To me, it helped me make the very small, and quick corrections you mentioned and, I think, helps in the learning process. I think a "heavy" feel to aide self centering is different than a "stiff" feel, which makes sticky steering. Marcel, on the other hand, liked the steering to be stiff. He didn't like the feel of my python - said it felt too "light" or "twitchy". The steering on the PC2 had a "heavy" self centering feel due to the pivot angle, but the steering was free and smooth. 4 people learned to ride the python in less than 10 minutes each. The PC2 is back to two wheeled mode, and I've painted it and cleaned it up. I'll post a link to final pictures and stats. > How much is good when it comes to self centering? > > On my regular recumbent I tensioned the steering column a bit too > much so the steering is now being heavy and sluggish.
