I second the motion. I did such a conversion on a Chuck's Recumbent2. Somebody was gonna get hurt, that somebody was me. I did one short test ride, dismantled...
Having done such a conversion on my VRex, I can assure you that "theoretical" concerns 1 and 2 (trail and wheel flop), are indeed a VERY big deal. Replacing...
I'm deeply suspicious of aluminium for most uses on bikes*, and forks in particular. Aluminium has a finite wear life when subjected to flexing and tends to...
I've heard that with such conversions, theoretical concern #1 & 2 are not such a big deal in actual practice. (Get a cheap 26" fork to test and decide for...
I'm thinking of converting my Tidalwave 3 to dual 26" wheels, by replacing the fork and front wheel. I remember seeing a picture of an Actionbent converted to...

It would cope without to much concern, the 30 degree seat wll be better for the commute less drag and I personaly like reclined seats (mine is 20 degree). The...
Two differences between the Arrow and the T1A are that the Arrow has indirect steering and the Arrow has the mesh seat. These are a matter of preference. As...
With the current USD/Aus$ exchange rate, this trike isn't going to last long on ebay. You could call that a he|| of a deal on the X3. I wouldn't waste a...
All my riding has been on a road bike. I am recovering from a broken hip from a bike mishap and need something more stable. Info about myself name is David, 47...

I just perchased a ICE t-26 and love it but if you want a floding trike you might try an ICE t or Q because of the folding features with 20 i n rear wheel and...
