Title: Re: Reliant trike Post by: Olds on February 27, 2014, 07:32:44 AM Yep.
Have a good read of the MSVA manual. It is usually best to start a build with MSVA in mind, that way you don't end up having to make changes later on. It's over 200 pages long but most of it will not apply. Welcome to the forum. :) Title: Re: Reliant trike Post by: civtec92 on February 27, 2014, 10:01:58 PM Thanks a lot I will get myself a manual :)
Title: Re: Reliant trike Post by: thebigdogsix on February 27, 2014, 10:06:35 PM you may need a means to reduce pressure to the front wheel to prevent locking up. never had a problem with mine locking up but thats not to say you won't. mine has twin discs as well but i guess that might reduce the pressure ?Title: Re: Reliant trike Post by: civtec92 on February 27, 2014, 10:26:12 PM Do you have a pressure reducing device if so can you advise
Thanks Title: Re: Reliant trike Post by: terry t on February 27, 2014, 10:34:24 PM Thanks a lot I will get myself a manual :) You can down load one from here. if you do go the all brakes on one system, make sure you can reach the hand brake in an emergency just in case, JJ for this forum had brakes fail on here trike and if I remember hers were all on one system https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/motorcycle-single-vehicle-approval-inspection-manual Title: Re: Reliant trike Post by: Olds on February 27, 2014, 11:28:58 PM There are a lot of options when it comes to brakes. If using a twin disc front, linking one front to the rear brakes and having the other operated from the handlebars is one way to go. If right hand strength is an issue, using a motorcycle, hydraulic clutch master, for the front brakes is another option.
Would be nice to know how you get on with your build. Title: Re: Reliant trike Post by: ROD on March 06, 2014, 08:19:13 PM You may need a valve in the system to hold the pressure on a bit to prevent a lot of pedal travel.
