The replacement trike

[Tigerbiten]

Thanks for the tip on seat adjustment,have contacted Ice and they say that a mesh seat can fit but need to alter frame length

Look at the back of the seat.
There's two sets of mounting holes for the seat bracket.
If you are using the upper ones then the booms pulled out.
To reset the boom, move the seat bracket to the lower set of holes.
This will let you pull the boom in around 6" (I think it's around that distance) so the mesh seat will be a straight swop.
I did it the otherway when I first fitted a hardshell seat.
Ps. You will have to shorten the chain and all the back cables as well.
But that's easier than lengthening them.

For a secondhand seat, you could try Kevin at Dtek, Little Thetford.
He's got all types of second hand bikes and parts.

Well my shakedown ride wasn't so good crunching

through the gears on my way home! So this morning thought I would clean and lube my chain ,on investigation chain was full of metal slivers so looks like a new chain and cassette for my trike as a Christmas present
