Took the trike out for a test ride today. Man am I ever use to two wheels. Even when I stopped the trike. I found myself trying to set the kick stand.
The steering needed tightening. Did the neck. I have a 21" wheel and have a question.
Is there a must do procedure for tightening up that front axle? The end of the axle that has that hole through it. I have used a screw driver in there to hold the axle, while tightened the nut. Is that hole for holding the axle like I did. Or does it have another function. Like maybe for insertion of a suitable bar or rod that will prevent the axle from being pulled through too far.
When riding. it feels like the wheel has play. But most noticeable when pavement steers. I believe it calls for 40 ft lbs. This is on a 93 EGC front end.
