The other option would be the Bristol Bike project. They operate an evening session called the bike kitchen where experienced people can have access to the well stocked workshop and that includes at least 1 wheel building rig.

If you are concerned with the packed size of the sleeping bag you could always look at a 2 season bag and a liner

Would you sell the rear panniers and the rain covers separately?

I have successfully installed a bladder into the back of the mesh seat on my TriceTNT, but it wasn't a straight forward install. I now have two bottle cages fixed to the rear of the seat frame.

I have 2 recumbent trikes both of which had a single lever operating the brakes on the 2 front wheels. The ice trike has SA drum brakes the KMX had mechanical disc brakes. Both trikes have a rear disc fitted but this is only a park brake. If a rear brake is used on a tadpole trike it will force the ...

Citroen Berlingo multispace with the seats folded forward will allow me to fit a tadpoles recumbent trike without removing any wheels.

Has anyone replaced the steering cups and bearings on a KMX?
