  Larry vs Harry vs Hamax part 2.

  Modified the stainless steel support bar by bending it an additional 25 degrees.

  This is it now fully reclined. Occupant is sound asleep and comfortable over the bumps in the road.

  Definitely can, and probably will a little bit later. Sometimes the tinkering to find the obvious is the fun piece.

  Your bike looks great, one of my favourites.

  Here is my 1st cargo bike, bought 2nd hand just last week. Moondog navy, it looks new from most directions.

  Larry vs Harry vs Hamax V1

  This is a conventional Hamax Caress, mounted backwards on the steering post. The caress reclines by 20 degrees and the photo shows it fully reclined.

  Little one loves it, “talking” to me all the time. Works fine me for a short trip on safe roads. Her grabbing the brake cables is not ideal 😂

  The next step (V2) aims to get it lower and correct the angle. Goal is to keep the suspension feature of the Hamax and the full range of motion.

  Eventually (V?) I’m aiming to get it low down and forward facing. Perhaps I’ll switch to the rack mounted Hamax which has suspension too. I’d need to make a bracket of some sort.

  Has anyone else succeeded in fitting a suspension Hamax in the cargo bay of their cargo?

  Check out GinkGo for large front and rear wheels (27.5” or 28”).

  Have not seen many drop bar cargo bikes here. Apart from the weight, I wonder how it would ride.

  One part of the acronym at a time. ;)

  @Hulsroy Is the essence of this BD lark that my bars should have the lower part of the drops parallel to the ground pretty much how they are shown in the catalog?

  Left side is easy to service.
  Right side is trickier, but the most complicated part is dismantling the electrical connector.

  For the right side, you can cheat to regrease without a full disassembly if you back everything off a little and inject some grease.

  There are some differences in the models of course.

  Have 2 of those hubs. Keep going for ever with a little bit of love.

  No dice as there is no option for 27.0. Good to see something different though, cheers.
