    Dual Hydralic front breaks on a tadpole trike. Where to buy manifold connector?

    Thanks for the fast reply :) I looked at the ebay ad specs and it shows the breaks are for 4mm thick rotors. So probably too big for a tricycle/bike wheel? woudl putting a piece of aluminum sheet metal under the brake pads to shim them up work? I guess I need to go to the motorcycle junk yard...

    I have a 170 lb tadpole cargo trike which carries about 350 to 400 lbs of people/cargo typically I want to upgrade the front breaks to hydraulic so it stops faster. I can't find a single pull, dual line bicycle hydralic break set. would these atv/motorcycle ones work? I assume motorcycle break...

    AZ Inspired Trike Build (The Tri-Meridian) is Complete!

    depending on how much sun you get, white will last for 4 to 6 years. I've yet to destroy any paitned panel. it's the uv light that makes them crack and die.

    nice, if you use coroplast buy black (most uv resistive) and then spray paint it white with paint designed for plastic. will last forever that way.

    Any place sell Tadpole trike Wheel sets?

    thanks. It makes sense that these bikes parts are more common in countries where bicycling is more popular.

    Any place sell Tadpole trike Wheel sets?

    ebay sells delta trike set of 3 wheels, but I have never seen a set of 3 tadpole trike wheels for sale. disk rotors on the 2 front wheels and 7 speed casette on the rear wheel, seems like a common configuration, so why does it seem they are only custom made ?

    Where can I buy components for a center joystick steering system?

I know they are also popular in velomobiles. I think they turn by moving the bar forward...

    Any place stock pair of 24" wheels with 20mm axel holes for tadpole trike?

    i doubt it, all I see are 32 or 36 hole hubs, probably because an axel that thick needs more spokes.

    Any place stock pair of 24" wheels with 20mm axel holes for tadpole trike?

    seems cheaper to just buy complete wheels and delace them then relace with right hub.

    thanks for replies. There's got to be a usa seller of bicycle rims. It would probabaly cost $100 just to ship from Germany.Only usa vendor I found JBI is wholesale only and will not sell to me directly.

    Any place stock pair of 24" wheels with 20mm axel holes for tadpole trike?

    ok, so I see the 20mmx110mm hubs on ebay are $35 each, recommendations to get rims and spokes online? checked bargainbasementbicycleparts and they do not have the fatter rims

    Any place stock pair of 24" wheels with 20mm axel holes for tadpole trike?

    I've got a pair of 26" wheels on an elf velomobile right now, but I want to put fatter tires on so I need a pair of smaller 24" rims for better shock, since this trike has no suspension. the hub is a 20mm axel with 110m length. Looked on USA and Chinese web sites and ebay and can't find a...
