Hej Steffen, you see wrongly: There are still two calipers. Maybe it
is because one of the red adjustment caps on the avid bb7 fell off
and the top caliper blends more into the background.

Hello Dirk nice new detail on your bike. I've gone
through your pythoon photos on picasa. Why did you took away the
2nd bake caliper. I've got the same configuration (2 calipers on
the front disc) at the moment as there was no other option with a
wheelchair as backpart of the frame. Now I'm thinking about how to
solve the problem on my next trike. What was your reason to change
the configuration.
Cheers,

Hi,
Since a few weeks, the stokid python has a stand:
https://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/7WD_KF-K2ejw_OYbDtCeydMTjNZETYmyPJy0liipFm0?feat=directlink
https://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/Zpanp45fGvRkMyz-tWJScNMTjNZETYmyPJy0liipFm0?feat=directlink
The stand is lightweight (10mmx1mm thickness) but still very
stable. To
put the python on the stand I swivel it forward and it locks
the front
part at the same time. To ride it swivels bckward against the
bottom of
the frame. I thought I needed some securing mechanism, but the
friction
made the pivot-bolt is enough to keep the stand up.
The stand is a big win for the python (especially when the
bike is as
long as this one), and it is now difficult imagining the
python without
it. Never I need to look for long free streches of walls to
park the
bike, or I can easily work on the front part.
The width on the ground is about 17cms and this is wide enough
to sit
securely on the bike, or load groceries asymmetrically without
the bike
tipping over.
I had hoped that I could start the bike while in stand: put my
feet on
the pedals and push the bike off with my hands on the ground.
It would
have been so cool, but unfortunately that doesn't work: The
point where
the stand sits on the ground is too much forward and there is
simply too
much lift on the bike necessary to get the stand up again.
It looks like the winter is going to be soft, so I hope I will
be able
to ride it daily with my son through the whole season!
