I have my doubts as regards the effectiveness, or value, of that type of auxiliary spring. I tend to agree with Mr M, that if the most effective route of Earles type fork is not persued, then the rake and trail must be adjusted, along with shorter,stiffer,but not necessarily overly stiffly sprung, larger stanchion forks, are required, cheers, Morrag

I am going to make leading links for my trike. I had them on an outfit and the difference it made was unbelievable. Would buy a nice shiney new set but seeing as the run at around a grand it isn't an option

Does the flat face tyre make the steering seem any more heavier (for those that already use them) If only someone would produce affordable leading link forks, cos I need em too  |

Is that an Avon Tourist vintage car tyre? It looks like the ones I had on the front of my outfits.
