To do:
- missing: swing arm, front light
- service motor (PAS, bearings) and install, electrics to be wired when parts arrive (on their way from China)
- paint
I designed and built a swing arm in wood and carbon fibre. I was a little extreme (exploring limits is my speciality...) so it is not good enough for use. As a prototype it is fine and now I know how to improve the design so that it works. So now I am waiting on Vasilli of Leiba to tell me how I can pay for the swing arm specified by the designer and when he can deliver. If anyone knows him personally please say I am in a hurry
Other issues:
I read with interest the tiller conversion of @Axel-H and his comments on brake cable routing. I am going back to shorter cables and down pull too, and have a couple of new flexible metal cable guides for the 90º corner. I also have rubber boots which will get some lithium grease and there will be about 3 cm of exposed brake cable. I can also see a parking brake on the rear wheel in my near future, the metal rod thing will disappear and be replaced with Velcro tape for now.
I need another 2 x front wheels but will they be for Agilo or the trike??? Road testing will tell me if the Azub wheels are good enough.
