Replacing steering linkage

Sunday 30 November 2014, noon

I decided to replace the trick steering linkage with a simple ungeared linkage, for more leverage in the steering. It will probably result in twitchier steering, but will be more direct.

Bush made from polypropylene, pivots from Teflon. I also removed the length adjustment from the rods connecting the handlebars to the linkage. They are now a set length, meaning the ‘driver’ seat can’t be moved without changing them. The adjustment clamps were prone to slip. Might work out a better way to set up adjustment one day, possibly with a screw thread.
