The only way to reduce spring tension is to put a lighter spring in. If you know someone with a box of assorted springs, you might find something suitable that you can adapt. That could risk brake binding if not returning to off position. Perhaps the leverage on your handbrake lever is too much, can...

Saturday 4th May 2024.
All invited for Coffee & Cake at Ruby Coopers Coffee House, Bodsey Farm, Ramsey.
From 10am.
It's a lovely spot in Huntingdonshire. Get those Trikings out, let's get 2024 started.
Please let me know if you can come.

Great turn out of classic cars and bikes today but only 3 Trikings.
Great to see Throwley out again in his 1982 T1, formerly owned by Michael Sharp. Next meet May 12th 2024.

Someone posted a question on here asking where is the best place to position a trolley jack to lift up the rear of a T4. I didn't say anything as I don't have a T4.

The centre adjuster on the caliper may need screwing in a bit, till it nips the pads then slacken a bit.
Slacken cable before doing that.
Then adjust cable till hand brake lever works.
Good luck.

Warm welcome to Phil in Norwich and Robster in North Yorkshire.
Enjoy the fun.

Apology to any Welsh Triking owners out there, I omitted to mention this event on the 2024 Triking Calendar.

The March picture is where Dick & Myra first set up home. Quite stunning for a young couple. Not in Wales ---- beautiful Somerset.

Hi Andy The castor angle is leaning back. A setting of 5-6deg is about ideal, over that figure may make the car less stable at speed. Chassis being lower on one side may be spring tension setting on shockers, also check that they are both the same length when extended. :shock: Put a search in on her...

Nothing wrong with jacking/supporting the car on the rear cross rail. Best use a piece of softwood on the jack or stand to minimise slipping and paint damage. At the bare metal stage, I welded on a piece of 20x20 to the rear of the chassis to enable safe lifting without slipping using the farm high ...
