How to get wheels off a Kendrick Trike

Post by Barrowman »

What it says in the title, need to break a Kendrick Trike down for transport to the Cycle Museum.
Anyone got any ideas or past experience of this ?

Mick F took a Raleigh RSW bike there a while back, I think it's in mid Wales?

I had to google Kendrick Trike coz I'd never heard of them.
I ain't got a clue regarding your question though!

The National Cycling Museum is a very interesting indeed. Yes, my RSW went there and Mrs Mick F and me had a weekend away taking it up there.

Please could you add a photo of the hub arrangement.

Thanks

I believe the National Cycle Museum may have one. Worth asking the question from the experts. :wink:

May not be a solution, but I've carried a conventional Rogers delta trike on a Pendle hang-on towbar rack without any disassembly.

The ‘Kendrick’ tricycle formerly ridden by the late Tom Norton is in the Cycle Museum at Llandrindod Wells. He rode the tricycle twice a day half a mile to and from his office until about eight months before his death at the age 85 in 1955.

I am a Trustee if the Cycle Museum. We don't have the Tom Norton Machine ,we have had a bequest of a similar one which is in London. Our stores manager needs to get it into a Nissan Micra to get it to the Museum .
( I have tried to get him on 3 wheels but he isn't keen .He's a 'Rough Stuffer' )
It's not with me so can't post pictures. I could probably sus it out myself if it was with me , I am guessing it will be similar to a conventional front wheel hub but with a captive inner cone.

Sorry for my misleading link. If anybody is interested in knowing what a Kendrick tricycle looks like - as I was - there's a pic in my link

I'm confused by the page in that link. It's about two wheels in front, but the picture is clearly of a delta. But the description makes it appear that the Kendrick is a tadpole. What am I missing :?: :?:

THIS is a Kendrick trike. The Cripper in the article is shown just for illustration purposes.

I don't know how, but if something went on, it will come off.
Someone assembled it, therefore it will disassemble.

Gordon only knows, coz I've never seen one! :D
