Been feeling unsure about my caravan setup. I know people are using unpowered trikes with heavier caravans than mine. But reading about it and having your own working are two different things.
Despite having the trike for weeks now, I've hardly ridden it. With the hub gear it was insanely high geared. I couldn't pedal it up slight rises. As I was living at the bottom of a large hill, I only did a few circles on the road in front of the house.
I fitted a new rear wheel, with a 11-50 cassette. The bottom bracket needs to change to get 22,32,42 chainrings. Currently it's using 30,42,52. I also want to get a 12T on there for a quad chainring setup. Was waiting for that to get done before using it.
Today, decided that I needed to ride it to help settle some of my worries about using it with the caravan. I'll need to ride it next week to finish an adaptor for the caravan hitch. So after a bit of tuning it up, I took it for a ride to the shops. Chain isn't adjusted right yet, but I can access most gears. More than enough for day to day use.
Riding a trike is heaps of fun!
