Hello Jim, sorry I don't own a low-racer and the concept is only on paper though I did prototype a similar system on a SWB Lightning last summer and it worked...
I assume the weight of the Barrron (three R's for obvious reasons) trike kits don't include the weight of the third wheel? Whatever became of your FWD,...

Sorry, I skipped over the reference from recumbents forum, where I assumed this following post excerpt was from you: "... I am pretty busy now with a number of...
... This is just my thoughts, (which is what you asked for,) but my impression is that lowracer owners are out for speed, while trike owners enjoy going slow....
... Considering the weights, I'm guessing that the weight of the tadpole kit doesn't include the weight of either front wheel. After all, both front wheels...

... Terry, I sent Don an email about this recently, but no reply. I think he has been posting on bentrideronline though, so not sure what the story might be! ...
... As far as I know, it is not a custom idler, but a kit which can be used with an idler of your choice. Basically, it is a carbon plate with a plastic chain ...
I emailed TerraCycle a while back to see if they could make up a Baron kit for this purpose. I didn't get a response but they seem to have all that's needed to...
I purchased my baron through bentrideronline.com by placing "want to buy" post in their forms in the "Classifieds" "ISO - Want to Buy" Section. Terry...
Don starts with a titanium Teracycle Idler and modifies it for the Baron (in a Droped chain configuration). I hope he is OK. Often when an enthusiast like...
What Front Derailleur are people using for their triple QRings? I think a $himano FD-R443 should work OK. Dennis T is that Qrings I see on your bike in the...

... Hm, I weigh about 70 kg myself and notice no flex when riding with little or no luggage. With full camping gear (less than 15 kg, I guess; there's a limit...
Mark, my Fujin SL-II uses an Aheadset, also. However, like I stated earlier, the headtube to seat distance difference would preclude me from using SL-II...
Yeah, John, I thought it was you but didn't want to say so without checking. Thanks for your clarification. As for flex, I get some built in shock absorption...
