The Raptor bottom bracket. The front plate is a bit thin at 5mm. My goal is to make it look nice as well.

builders pages

Do you have news or something interesting to tell? Do you want to show us pictures of how your project is progressing? Please edit you personal page.

You can post on the home page as well. No problem.

But your builders page is where we hope to see lots of info of all the Tribolt creations. Especially when you are doing certain features differently from the original design.

Not all blog members have their own page yet. Just a few were created as a start. If you start building or want a page in advance please let us.

At this moment there are 3 blog administrators and the rest are 'authors' so you can post as well.  You can become administrator as well if you want to and know more about social media the we do.

There has to be done lots more work on the articles and manuals. Please be patient and check later if there is something new.

Thanks for joining.

rear derailleur cable routing

The small persons trike, I think I call it the Baby Tribolt,  is almost done now. Here's the cable routing for the rear derailleur. It can be one piece of cable housing. But I want to be able to partly clean and lube it once in a while.
Little brackets like that can take up a couple of hours depending on how good you want to make them look. It's a piece of the tube I used for the frame 4mm thick.

The Baby trike has 16inch 305 front wheels and a 20inch rear wheel. I must say, the smaller rear wheel feels more sturdy already. Pre 2004 Catrike Speeds used 305 wheels. They're tiny.

As with all trikes this one too sees first daylight in the living room. Very few trikes have been made in the garage only or are unpacked outside. This clearly distinguishes trikes from bikes.
