Thought I'd put up a wanted add for the harder bits to find for my trike project.
What I need is
**Hub gear or wheel
**Quite specific this, but here goes
I need something with quite a decent range - %250 - %300 to get a decent low spinny gear and still some usable other. Also It need to have an internal cable operated brake system of sorts. This brake needs to have a swing arm mount as my frame doesn't have disc brake mounts.
Cheers to the hub/wheel offers I've had already but unfortunately they didn't fit this.
Also I need a rim to go with this - 24" and quite wide. will take some chunky 24"x2" tyres. If anyone has a 24" schwalbe big apple that would be handy!!
**Brake doubling mechanism
**I've seen a few bikes with this clever box of tricks to pull 2 brakes with 1 lever. I've seen a few solutions online but I will be good to see what the forum can muster.
**Saddle and clamp
**I need a comfy saddle that both I and my wife will approve of - she can be very fussy. Also - the tricky bit, I need a clamp to attach said saddle to the seat post. It's the old style connector, I've no idea where to find one of these.
**Handle Bars
**Will need to create something for this but a pair of chopper handle bars would be perfect, or some big promenade bars. They'll be chopped up so nothing fancy.
**BB Cranks Chainring
**Need an english bb and a crankset. This is all kind of dependent upon the rear hub.
**Mud Guard
**Rear mud guard to cover a 24"x2" tyre. chrome would be best but I'm not fussy.
Think that's all for the moment
Big thanks
Harry
