Thats my old set-up of the left hand strut*. While this is the standard brake plate set-up of velomobiles (black brake lever to the rear), the excenter shaft of brake plates is actually the wrong way around in this case and actuates the brake pads with the "wrong" side of the excenter. That leads to inferior brake performance.But wait - i remember somethin in Marc's blog:
Easily solved by turning the brake lever by 180°, loose the nut, take off the brake lever and install it shifted by 180° again.
My current brake plate set-up is fairly similar, but the brake plates are the same way as in every trike. Brake lever to the front (no its a pain to reach the adjustment nut, though ).
*the front rod end ball (on the right) is supposed to go to the underside as well, though
