Hello All: Well I've had my new TT for almost a month now and I think most of the bugs are worked
out. The thing is a total blast to ride and very comfortable too. I had issues with the paint being
damaged, "which the guys at whizwheelz replaced" and the rear derailur would contact the low gear
sprockets, "they sent a different derailur that fixed that problem", I think the chain could use a
couple more links though. They have real quick and good customer service but the waiting for
replacement parts via UPS is agony, shipping seems to take for ever. Now I need to tinker with the
toe-in/toe-out on the steering to see what that does. The thing corners like a race car now but it's
a little touchy when hitting over 20 mph. All in all it is a great toy and I think that the
whizwheelz guys have a too hip trike, and with a little bit of fine tuning of their product before
shipping, it should be able to take the market by storm. Fenders would be a nice addition too but I
can't see how I can add them without a lot of extra weight. L8R, Bri.

wheels and linkage. Only a tiny amount should be necessary, just a few milimeters of difference.
too much makes the tires wear faster, and creates more drag. Not enough and directional stability
is affected.Welcome to the trike cult. Once you try a threesome, you'll never go back to just two.
