trike front end alignment

Andy If you do not get a reply from trikers here, try the IHPV-trikes list and post the same
question. Although there are trikers on ARBR...the trike list is 100% trike users/designers/builders
and you'll increase your odds of getting a reply.

Hello -

I am having trouble setting toe-in/out on my new trike. The trike has a front end almost identical
to a greenspeed GTO.

I have have found several written descriptions (e.g. the manual on the greenspeed site) but what I
need are PICTURES. This because I have lost the ability to visualise from words due to
neurological damage following a serious accident several years ago.

Any help would be most appreciated. Thanks!

What kind of trike do you have? I have a manual with pictures for a trimuter (Greenspeed copy). I
could scan and email you the pictures of the alignment section.

HI Andy, When we got the Big Cat, it came with no instructions, so we had to wing it setting the
toe in. I suggest you use a yardstick or tape measure to set the distance about the same "front
to back". Then with the tie rod lock nuts still loose, start test riding around the block and
reach down and tweak the adjusting rods in and out. You will quickly find the sweet spot by
listening for tire roar, and feeling resistance when you are going the wrong way. Give it a try,
good luck! Mark C.

But any road irregularitys or crown in the road (designed in) would throw it completely off?
