If at first you don't put the chain on the smallest sprockets, front and rear, you're going to bend the chain tube and put a lot of stress on the rear derailleur.
i have a beautiful catrike rear hub, 7-8 gears. i wanted to upgrade my regular mtb rear wheel, but when i started tightening the spokes i realize, we have a problem. the hub only rotates one way. how do you balance such wheel? and then, is it a good idea to put it on a bike, or only a trike?
Ok so you get the wheel off with your chain on smallest gear and when you put it on again adjust it so you are in your lowest gear on the back next to the spokes . Putting the wheel back on this way gets all that chain used up and is easier to put the back wheel on. If you suspect a pointy object has made it's home in your tire as it is flat , take wheel off and take tube and tire off in one piece. Pump up tube in tire .listen for leak and now there is no need to look as you will hear where the leak is, This saves on looking and running the finger around the inside of the tire and finding said pointy object with lacerations to finger?
This is my second Amazon kids tablet purchase. ru-vid.comUgkxAPUD3wGXVz7iwFny2pBBqGomYxe_7J6U I bought my son his first when he was one and now that he is almost three we just upgraded to this version a couple of months ago. I love that you can control the age content, block certain apps and videos, and free storage space with apps that haven’t been used in a while. This tablet has assisted my son’s learning in so many ways. We love it!
So interesting enough I have not found a single video on how to fold an ecat, but I noticed in the written directions the Bosch harness should be disconnected. Any way to get a video of this?
I specifically want a trike made in the USA. When I am finally able to afford a trike, and one for my wife, it will be a Catrike. I love the story of how you began.
This was wonderfully helpful, but I would add 2 more comments: 1) You have the trike mounted on a stand. Someone like myself without such a stand would have the trike on the floor. In that case it is very important to support the side of the trike where the wheel is being removed. Otherwise, as the wheel is being removed, the trike will collapse, pinching fingers. 2) On the Catrike 995 wheel, there is a metal disk which has to fit back into a slot (where the brake & gear cables go) in order to line up the axle again. That's the best I can describe it! Add those pointers and it will be a 5 star video! Thanks!
that blackcat prototype looks stunning. real mean and low. not seen it before. maybe revise it for a second gen 700. just call it the black cat. perfect :)
the 16 inch model looks nicer imo. but the 20 inch wheels create more recline. 25 degree vs 27. i have a 2015 700 and i love it. always creates a stir /bemusement when ever i ride it. so much fun
I have had my Expedition for a year now. It is amazing and I yearn to ride it almost every day! I am excited that Winter is closing out. I have only been able to get out 3 days this winter. I just ordered a Catrike 700 (Loaded!). I won't get it until May/June but I have my Expedition in the mean time. My wife will adopt the Expedition once my 700 arrives .
I was outside on my trike 3 times before the season of snow started and when the salt on every road. I don't want to ruin the aluminum frame from the salt, and the more corrosive liquid salt the city puts on the roads!
We needed to find an option to our upright ebikes when my wife was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer the last week of 2020. She had lost significant muscle mass in January and February of this year and we were concerned with her ability to manage the weight of the upright ebike even though she is still a very strong woman, both physically and mentally. There were times during a two week stay in the hospital due to complications from radiation where she was not sure she would she would leave the hospital by the front door and one of the things that kept her going was the possibility of riding her upright bike. This was a safety concern for us. After watching an earlier assembly video from you and much research, it was clear that Catrike was THE choice for us. We got her a Dumont and myself a 559, both ecats, and her first ride was 8 miles........a couple of weeks ago we did 61 miles in two days on our local bike trail.......her doctor said she is heading towards full remission and credits her personal drive and inner strength along with riding her bike.....sometimes it "Is about the Bike"!
I have had my new 559 for 18 months and ridden it 7500 trouble free , comfortable miles . It is partner to my several year old Trail model which has taken me 10,000 fabulous miles. They are exquisitely designed and manufactured products. The best there is. Keep up the god work. A new 700 is next on my list…just need a place to store it !
@@douglas1559 …my new 700 arrived this week and is being assembled today. Adding it to my collection. This,one should be the most fun an old man can have!
I bought a 5 5 9 at Erik's Bike Shop in MN last summer and have gone on many short rides, but I need to adjust the boom in by about an inch yet it will not budge (which has kept me from doing long rides). It's well out from the inner stop (several feet) so that's not it - is it possible that Erik's inserted the plastic spacer incorrectly and that is preventing the boom from sliding? Thanks for any info - they are supposedly a pro shop, yet they sold it to me clearly without even having done a test ride, as the front derailleur won't change from the center ring - I'll have to adjust that later but hopefully bringing the boom in an inch will give the chain enough slack to shift (up front) without any other changes. I may go eCat later, but for now at least getting boom length right and 30 (vs 10) speeds is my goal. :D
Cat trike u tube help me so much in my quest for move ability had a stroke a few yes back and they the date ofvpa took my licens so I keep trying to figure out how to get around well here it is I’m mobile again
OK, now lets see you do that on the side of the road, without a locking derailleur, and cars whizzing by inches away. These shop demonstrations don't work in real life.
