...is on Sunday July 18th this year apparently. Usual Stanford Hall venue, this year's themes are 75 years of the Vintage Motor Cycle Club, and more relevant to us, 100 years of Moto Guzzi.
See you there?

Re: TRACKING
Hi Richard.
Thank you for the kind offer; yes, I'd love to borrow one to have a go!
I'm a bit overwhelmed with other work at the moment (in fact the Triking is behind a wall of DIY/clearance junk at present) but as soon as I've managed to get a bit of free time I'll contact you.
Thanks again!

Re: TRACKING
Thanks for the replies.
Both are a definite improvement on string. I'll knock up some wooden tracking gauges as per the picture whilst keeping my eye on Ebay for a cheap Trakrite.

TRACKING
I'm a straightedge and string man myself, but is there a 'best practice' method for Trikings? And what's the consensus on toe-in amount?

Re: LOOSE SPOKES
An update on my wheels... I disassembled the wheel to check the hub spoke drillings. No cracks, no wear, thank goodness. On reassembly, I found that the wheel had been rebuilt previously with quite a few replacement spokes. Unfortunately the replacements had been ordered too long and cut down to fit...

LOOSE SPOKES
Simple question - why do my spokes keep loosening? I have a Type 1 and despite a regular checking and retightening, when I push the Triking back into the garage after even a gentle trip, there's the 'orrible crinkling noise from the front wheels. Even on the rear wheels of sidecar combinations I've ...

Coming from an aircraft operations background, this is something about which I'm very careful! When working on aircraft, every tool has to be accounted for, usually by employing a shadowboard/tool tag system. I've spent many a late night combing a hangar for that missing 10mm socket! I also never le...
