Hello everyone,
I plan on building a mix of the street fox and the warrior trike.
In the street fox plans, heavy duty 14 mm axle BMX wheels are used to compensate for the one sided mount, which makes total sense.
Later on in the plans, a sturdy arm is beeing installed to accommodate the brakes.
I wonder if a person could extend the brake support arm on the outside of the wheels to allow for a mount that supports the axle on both sides vs just one. (Basically turning the support arm into a horizontal fork) Why? Because I found that 10 mm axle wheels are much easier and cheeper to find then 14mm and all it would take is another length of square tubing to do this. (I don't care much about the extra weight) that way I could utilize 10 mm axles without beeing worried about the stability.
Is there flaw in my thinking? Am I missing something?
Your thoughts and help are much appreciated!
Cheers
