      <description><![CDATA[Not had a particularly lucky time on three wheels recently...

A couple of weeks ago took the S-327 out on a weekend for a gentle ride - and the rear tyre (Schwalbe Marathon) had a bead wire failure - 2 mile walk home. 

Yesterday was out again with a group of friends and a mile or so from home I went over a bump a bit faster than I should have - there was a sickening crack and the rear wheel was rubbing up against the seat. Rear suspension had given way - the titanium bolt which supports the rubber 'shock' had pulled right through the aluminium block at the back of the frame:

[img]http://www.velovision.com/storyimages/2010/broken.jpg[/img]

Walked home :-(

Looking at the fragments I think it had corroded quite badly over the years, so that bump was just the final straw...

It's not _quite_ as bad as I feared - it looks like I may be able to salvage matters by making a plate to fit over where it's broken through. Other options are maybe having it welded up then re-machining, or as a last resort making at entire block anew from a large lump of aluminium.]]></description>

      <title>[VV Discussion] Sunday trend</title>
      <link>http://www.velovision.co.uk/forum-new/read.php?3,6311,6311#msg-6311</link>

      <description><![CDATA[Today I went on my third Sunday cycle ride of the year (I chickened out on the other three Sundays due to too much snow).  After I got home I noticed a worrying trend, which could result in having to extend Sundays to late om Mondays.

The first Sunday ride I did 47 miles, the second Sunday ride I did 57 miles and today I did 67 miles.  This means that by the end of the year (and ignoring Sundays when I will be away) I will be doing (by extrapolation) something like 357 miles - as the furthest I have ever done in a day is 215 miles in 23 hours (and I was a lot younger then), my Sunday rides will not be finishing until very late on Mondays.

Have to find a way to stop this trend before it gets out of hand.

Most hubs with sealed bearings can be converted to single sided - you just need to be able to find a bolt that will fit or know someone with a lathe who will turn one for you.

It is even possible to convert hubs with cone bearings - the cups can be driven out and replaced with sealed bearings if you can source some of the right size.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[I am going to build a trailer with a ~300 kg (or mayber half that) load capacity for which I need to find some suitable wheels. I would like to use single side mounting wheels but I am having trouble locating any. I suppose I could just buy a couple of lefty hubs, but would like to see what else is available (I expect the lefty hubs come with a fairly high price tag, and possible specialist mounting requirements). If anyone is able to make any recommendations or point me towards a supplier(s) then I should be very grateful.

I want the trailer to be a simple affair; it will be made of aluminium with the wheels being mounted onto square or rectangular section swing arms. Does anyone have any advice concerning the best way to mount wheels/hubs or spindles to the end of aluminium quad sections? I also need a couple of spring-damper units for the suspension (one for each wheel). So if anyone can link me to a good source of these parts I would very much appreciate it.

Thanks.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Yo, just a peek into the amazing world of coincidence and the hidden recumbents around.
 By the use of this an other forums; cyclechat, bhpc,etc. I have found 2 other recumbent riders within 400 yds of home. We didn't know of each other and have met up for a ride.( Well excluding the Spud who was found wandering into Halfords a year ago!)We have also found other riders a bit further out.

It is worthwhile putting out feelers, you never know who is hiding away nearby !

The last trike that I bought belonged to a rider who gave up as there was nobody nearby to ride with.
 So perhaps in the world of the coincidence, it's worthwhile exposing your location, n-ick, sunny Swadlincote.]]></description>
