  1. Hi

    Would anyone care to express an opinion on how much kingpin offset
    (scrub radius) is desirable on a recumbent trike? It's not difficult
    to get suggestions for trail (or caster), but all I've been able to
    find are recommendations ranging from "none" to "a small amount of
    negative" (if eliminating brake-steer is a priority), for kingpin
    offset. I'm particularly interested in how much negative offset is
    possible before handling is badly affected.

    Cheers
