Hi all,
I am interested in all the python trike chat at present. I use an Avid B7
disc brake on the front wheel and agree that the braking from the front
brake is so powerful that I see no need for another unless it is as a
backup brake in case of failure. I have not experienced any tendency to
jack-knife or lift the rear section. I am interested in what people have
experienced with loading their trikes and the stability of the pivot joint
in the recommended low 60's . I have found it necessary to reduce the
angle to the low 50's I have tried 51 - 52 degrees and found the stability
wonderful but the wheel flop prevents sharp turning. This time I will try
55 degrees. As I am building in f/g and carbon fibre it is not easy to
make the angle adjustable and so I would really be interested in the
experiences of others. Cheers Howard Stevens
