The Catrikes use 1" headstems and their adjustable handlebar only fits them. Their horizontal tube is also 1" making it more difficult to mount accessories. ...
I stand corrected! I assumed they went to 1 1/8" when they went to headsets, but you know what they say when you assume... Cliff ... From: Tom...
I liked the pictures of your trike. Where can I pick up and purchase Tom's steering mod kit? that I see in some of your photos. I assume from Tom but being a...
Hello -L- Tom here. I am willing to guess that you do not need the steering kit. One way to verify this; post a picture top down of the steering arm next to...
Howdy and thanks Tom! You are right. The newer trikes like mine already have the ackerman compensated steering linkage. ... steering ... bar ... compensated. ...
Anyone ever have problems w/ the bottom seat mount coming loose? What a pain! Gotta take off the seat AND the idler to get at the screw (if right side is...
Yes and I have over 1200 miles on the seat now so I just accept it as a design blip I have to live with. As long as I tighten parts up caused by some of the...
Sorry Philip I parsed the name wrong. The test ride was without a brake. I'm waiting for the brake and rim-with-a-brake-surface to arrive. (The trike doesn't...
Joe, do a search for "ghost shift" (or maybe just ghost!) on this site. This plagued me as well until I properly adjusted the b-screw. Hasn't happened since....
Thanks Paul, will do. Honestly though, it's a minor miracle that my Tango doesn't have more loosening problems around her. A lot of the outlying county roads...
... I was hoping there was another fix. I'm concerned that these screws come loose from riding and from adjusting the seat angle. If the idler wasn't in the...

Yep, that's my review. I really like the gear range by adding the DD. I hate to give up my top end for climbing occationally. 99% of the time I leave the DD...
Cool. This sounds like the easiest approach of all at a weight penalty, but I'm sure that won't be too large. I assume you just re-used the PG-970 and rim and...
Paul Interested in converting to idlers from chain tubes on my HiRacer. Noticed that you have some experience with conversion on your MidRacer. Also saw your...
This is an email I just sent to Randy and Steve and I want to know what you guys think...do I have a case? Hi Guys, I bought a tadpole trike in May of 07....
Karl, Well I tried the idea initially with the Terracyle over/under borrowed off my trike. Then Tom found the Utah Trikes idlers that fit the same 8mm bolt...

I replaced mine with regular flat head bolts and self locking (nylock) nuts. There is a danger of over tightening and cracking the seat. With nylock nuts you...
I'm planning on ordering a trike today, and have it down to 2 of the Actionbent models, but have a couple of questions that will help me decide. 1. Does the...
... I've had a T1X for about a month now and I'm sorry to say I can't recommend it. It seems the more complex the trike, the more likely you are to have...
