Nothing to lose then really. Except the costs. Which in such an open and shut case wouldn't be much.
Bankruptcy may hurt them a bit especially if they get some bad publicity.
But it is not a good position to be. :(
Could he crowd fund it on Facebook? Or try crowd funding the repairs?
I think he'd get a lot of sympathy.;)
 
Sunny day here.
Arguing with Nextdoor who have taken me off a thread but left me on all others?
Weird. the guy I had had a very gentle go at had been very insulting up to the point at which I told him I was blocking him.
So I blocked him (ignored on here it would be).
Then I couldn't get back on the thread yet the other beggar is still there.
Maybe it is because he started the thread,
He is notorious for being a PITA.
Bit of a dopey forum but does have some uses.
So I'll give it a chance but unlike on here, mods don't communicate with you........yet!
 
..that I have had more "lathe fun" today and my threaded parts are all ok. :)
So I now have 2 freewheel adapters that thread on perfectly fine; one LH and one RH.
I have not drilled the centres out for axles yet as the jury is out as to whether they will be 16mm or 19mm.
The next task will be to make a number of short collars to go over M8 bolts on either side of a central drive-sprocket where the bolts lock the two freewheels (L & R) together.
This will mean BOTH rear wheels of the trike will be driven but they will be able to run at different rates when cornering and this will prevent any tyre scrub issues.

I am pleased that a total numbskull like me can actually do this sort of stuff. :D

You can buy LSD's for trikes. A company called SAMAGAGA make them and they are horrendously expensive.
A recent study by some UNI on this topic concluded that the freewheel based 2WD unit was the most practical and affordable unit for use in urban transport delta-trikes.
Most trikes out there have only one rear-wheel that is driven and it can cause issues with the lighter-loaded single front wheel "hopping" across the road under some circumstances.

Well again everyday a school day. To me a trike is 2at the back;)
I would have thought a pedal trike would have been fixed across the rear if it was 2 wheels (just learnt this is not normal:p)
Tyre scrub over that short distance surely with the skinny tyres wouldn’t matter:).

But hey I got away from manual transportation as soon as I could:D. But still willing to learn:).
