    Spring Time - Learning To Ride Time

    1. Are you able to keep pedaling during the turn ? The only way I can pedal thru a slow speed turn is to sit up ( get my back off the backrest ) and tilt the bike into the turn. a snowmobile turn where I lean to the outside (relative to the bike) Later,,, bye

    The last V2k

    I think yes,, on my sofrider you cannot see seatpost on the bottom of the frame, and from the pics I worry about clearance ? The rack looks great McWheels !! If your frame brace proves too fragile you might try fabricating braces from the v-brake mounts. As an example the Old Man Mountain...

    Kervelo Tilting Trike

    SSShhhhh the UCI might be listening. Rigidly defining what is CF will make your head spin with exceptions.( btw I am a Day6 owner and lusted after a Zenetik . Electra Townie and Day6 have a BB separate and in front of the seat tube, must be CF. Rans angled the seat tube back and lengthened...

    A simpler Silvio?

    I gotta quibble here, the front of the standard rack CAN be attached to the current frames. The Sofrider has both a lower shock mount and the V-brake nuts that would secure the front non suspended rear rack to the frame. The quest bikes have at very least the lower shock mount. I am thinking...
