Easy when you know how

[Phill P]

Do they rund a "fixed rear diff" ie the rear wheels are on a one piece axel.

Would make cornering a bit less pleasent and tyre wear an issue.

Twin front brake!

I wonder how stable it would be in the wind. Might be able to get away with a front disc as well, or at least a much deeper rim.

big question: why?

[Auk]

Doc, that's like wonder why you are always so f-ing bitter in your favorite hot topics. (Zipp, Armstrong, dimples, etc.) As you've shown, sometimes there is just no explaining it.

big question: why?

Its British cycling at its best. They make parts from washing machines, race TT on fixed gears and race tricycles all while on the wrong side of the road. I love it

And real trikies have beards and smoke a pipe, (although it isn't compulsory whilst racing).

Hey Doc,
Have you tried prozac? I believe its available in carbon with dimples!

[2 wheels]

By the way:
• http://www.Infinous.nl, the company that developed Theo Bos’s Koga Chimaera, built Marc a carbon fibre tricycle for Bejing. Unfortunately it wasn’t ready in time. Marc came in fourth in the Bejing time trial on his “old” bike.
• Infinious also built a stunning carbon fibre handbike. And a friend of mine built the wheels: Zipp rims on modified orange through-axle Chis King hubs and orange spoke nipples, how cool is that?

Wrong link.
The correct link is www.infinious.nl or www.hosper.eu/joomla

big question: why?

Trike racing is as old as the sport of cycling. Henri Desgrange, founder of the tdf was a trike world champion in 1893.

The UK is a traditionalist cycling country and hence they still carry the torch.

Question - why is a trike more stupid than a normal road bicycle?

[Flossie]

Why ?.... Why not!

Weather its got 1 wheel, 2 wheels, 3 wheels, you sit on it or lie down in it... As long as it has pedals and not a bloody engine, it gets my vote!

Someone in my club had a fixed wheel trike, and used to bet people they couldn't ride it down the road, do a 'U' turn and ride back, without falling off. He rarely lost the bet!
