Hi Paul,
Have you tried thicker seat cushion? 2” dense foam over few layers of
cardboard is good enough for me. Soft balloon tires also help.

I ride over poor surfaces but no the kind that would be smoothed out much by
having the whole rear end sprung.
I was hoping that by using the ' bike ' suspension for each rear wheel it
would reduce the individual load on the pivot components compare with both
wheels pivoted and sprung from one point ?
As I cannot ride a Python bike and only a trike I have not considered leaning
, or course leaning on it's own is not suspension it just reduces the
cornering forces and increases complexity and weight.

Hello Paul,
any special reason for separate suspension? I would expect that would create
outside lean when cornering? Unless you hace some lean steer construction
in mind?
I am thinking about suspention for my trike too. It can give you a nasty
shake, specaly in Winter when one wheel might have to run on gravel or ice.

Each wheel with a block of it's own.
I realise there is a risk of it not being rigid enough for the cornering
stress ?
Only one way to find out :-)

Hi Paul,============================================================
do you want to suspend the whole trike rear end with one rubber block,
oder each rear wheel with its own block?
regards Jürgen.

Hi all============================================================
Been riding my trike for 6 years now My Python trike builds
<https://atomiczombie.com/forum/threads/my-life-with-python-trikes-mk1-mk1-5-mk2.33/>
and fancy building a new rear end with suspension.
The original Python suspension looks the easiest option , however a few
questions ?
1) Will using 20" forks and wheels change any of the dimensions ? I am
under 80kg but may want to carry up to 20kg of camping gear ?
2) Is the rubber block available in Germany say from Ebay ?
3) If I decided to make my own as suggested using circles cut from
inner
tubes how tall should it be ? and what diameter bearing in mind there
will be 2 wheels suspended.
