The more you plan ahead, the less you have to change along the way.
Yes and that is why I am now thinking of what to do and making a 3D model.The more you plan ahead, the less you have to change along the way.
Hahaha no I hope not to crash.The Sturmey Archer single sided drum hubs use 12mm. Danny has just managed to bend one though not in regular use. At least I hope crashing is not his regular use.
Tell me about it! Back when it happened to me, I ended up building something like 2 DOZEN different ones, of all configurations,I didn't want yo, but it is happening. I am going to build a second Trike.
This hobby is addicting. Riding and building.
O wow you where far away.Tell me about it! Back when it happened to me, I ended up building something like 2 DOZEN different ones, of all configurations,
regular recumbent bikes, lowracers, tadpoles, SWB delta, LWB delta, SWB quadcycle, LWB quadcycle, weird ones, & MORE!
Had I not lost my shop & most of my tools, I would, without a doubt, STILL be at it! I STILL long to build more!!! Yep, I had it BAD!!!

It's even getting worse now.Tell me about it! Back when it happened to me, I ended up building something like 2 DOZEN different ones, of all configurations,

You don't know him very well do you ?At least I hope crashing is not his regular use.
I work with someone else on it. I use his front mounting system and ad the warrior steering to it. He has a lot of experience with it, so he is helping me.That looks very good Emiel.
When designing your underseat steering, I would strongly recommend the use of Peter Eland's excellent steering geometry spreadsheet.
On the braking front, hydraulic disc brakes are very good but sometimes a bit "fiddly" to set up as all the alignments need to be pretty perfect in the first instance.
I have cheap Clark hydraulic Brakes on both of my tadpoles and they are very sharp indeed.
Best wishes for your new build.
