You know, if you had asked me that a few months ago I would have claimed the Pocket to be the better trike, but thats because the Cat trikes real strong suit...
1. When you say that the rear wheel can be pushed side-to-side, is this movement because the frame is flexing/bending? 2. Is there a way to mount fenders on...
Hi Guys, FWIW - I have mine set up horizontal (actually slightly downward to the back). I found this allowed a tighter turning radius because now they can pass...
Do you have grip shifters or bar-end shifters? That will probably influence the joystick/wheelbarrow setup. John Fort Worth, TX ... Hi Guys, FWIW - I have...
Flex - yes, bend - no. The rear "chainstays" are IMHO too flexable (they are called opon to support the rear wheel with no help from a "seatstay"), but this...
It's nice to finally see some postings on the trike. As of yesterday, I've been waiting five weeks for mine and it's still not in my hands. The folks at AB are...
Just an FYI about Greenspeed's decision not to use a big rear wheel on their trikes: http://greenspeed.com.au/NewGSweb/web-content/australia/faq.html#WHEELS ...
While this will give you no satisfaction it seems as though this is a common theme for some in the trike mfgs. Some Catrike folks have waited 5+ months for...
And yet Trice and WindCheath are two others who make 26" rear wheel models and they ain't cheap. I guess as the second article states it becomes a matter of...
Thanks for the words of encouragement(?). I'll keep the group aprised of my status. My intention is to post photos and impressions so that others can benefit....
... Gearing charts don't tell you anything about performance gain. All they tell you essentially is how many RPM you need crank to go a certain speed (in...
I was riding my JS2 this weekend and a pickup truck passed me while I was spinning up a moderate hill. The driver gave me a Hawaiian 'hang loose' signal--and I...
Sorry to hear about your delays, but I can assure you that when it comes, you will love it!!! Mine came with the front spindals already installed (as a matter...
Sure if I wanted to spend another 150+ for a Capreo hub ontop of 2K+ for the trike, and if it fit, I could get something that would be like a 26" wheel. Why...

The real difference between the two rear wheel sizes on Tadpoles is the ability to have more cog choices without adding the weight and expense of a geared...
... Except that by definition, it is not a case of all things being equal. While you go faster (or further) for a given pedal stroke, the pedal stroke with a...
I've found the practical difference between my Pocket (16" wheels) and my AB tadpole (26"rear - 20" front) as far as performance is concerned is that the...
Regarding Toe In. I did a lot of querying about this when I got my Trike because there's no mention of it in the assembly instructions. I found the consensus...
Here's my 2 cents. I was able to make it to this years BROL in NY in August. I went there specifically for the vendor event on Saturday, to be able to test...
Cliff. Your observation are woth a lot in my opinion becuase you have two differenct models and can do some valuable comparisons. You also hit the nail on the...

... I assume by "geared axel [sic]" folks mean an internal hub gear like a Sachs/SRAM 3x7/8/9. Other methods: - smaller cassette cogs (Greenspeed and ICE offer...

Hello all, Based on all the positive feedback I bought a JS III and have assembled most of it. Looks like it'll be a great value. Some questions about cables....

Besides... Lets just face it... The Actionbent is just about the coolest looking trike out there!!! - it's just a nice bonuse thet it's a great riding trike as...
--Your local shop or mail order can supply you with cable ends. Be aware there are two sizes of cable. The larger is usually spiral bound for both brakes &...
Marty, I'm no cable expert, so I won't offer any advice there. You didn't say if you had a USS. If you do, you really don't want those handlebars to be able...
