  1. Hiya
    Any suggestions on how much trail I should get added to my tailwind? The
    high speed stability is fine but anything below 7kph / 4mph and the bike is
    a handful. I was thinkin about 4 inches. The trail is currently in the 1
    inch or less range. I have a feeling that the brakepads and rim wall may not
    line up if the fork is straightened too much.

    I can't answer your question, except to say that my long wheelebase RANS
    Gliss becomes difficult to steer at the same speed.
