Hello Dirk nice new detail on your bike. I've gone through your pythoon
photos on picasa. Why did you took away the 2nd bake caliper. I've got the
same configuration (2 calipers on the front disc) at the moment as there
was no other option with a wheelchair as backpart of the frame. Now I'm
thinking about how to solve the problem on my next trike. What was your
reason to change the configuration.
Cheers,
Steffen
