Update 14th Feb 2020:
Quite fitting that this report on my love-hate relationship with this trike is on St. Valentines day. Let me report on today's massacre.
As I believe I have lamented before, setting up the toe-in/tracking on my tadpole trikes has always been a challenge for a variety of reasons; not the least of which has been the lack of decent tools with which to do it.
Now I know you can "cobble" stuff together from a variety of bits and bobs but I wanted something a bit more robust and less fiddly than sticks and rubber-bands, and ICE show such fun-n-games in their tech video of setting up their trikes (as below) here.
Now in that same tech video Ice actually show some custom-made tools that they use when setting up the tracking on their trikes (see below) and I thought "if its good enough for the really posh folks that have ICE-Trikes....then that's good enough for me".
So I ferreted around in my little workshop and found some 6mm rod and a section of tubing that would accept the 6mm rod as an insert; and I bought some M6 thumbscrews online for next to nothing.
After some cutting, welding, cussing and moaning I managed to make myself a pair of "toe-in/tracking set-up" tools that will work.
The long one is minimum length 26" and the short one is minimum length 13". This will cater for most tadpole trikes on the market today.
I threaded and tapped the ends on the inner rod to accept an M5 acorn nut and the other end of the outer tube is tapped and plugged with M8 stainless rod.
I will cover this sharp outer end in "plasti-dip" so as to avoid scratching up paintwork.
I finished as the light was fading and so setting up the trike will have to wait for another day.
