Did I mention I was going on vacation?
No, I know I didn't. Sorry.
Between my last post and the morning Mike and I took off (Friday the 27th) I was trying to get the trike done, because people had been asking about how to get one and I wanted to be able to give a straight-up account of the process, and also how it turned out.
The departure date came around too soon. More on all that later.
The trike is getting close to done, except I've run into an odd problem. I THINK the chain is too loose, because it (or the wheel?) starts to spin instead of propel whenever the amount of pedal-push-power exceeds a very low minimum. Since 'chain and gear' is a fairly simple mechanical concept, I am hopeful I will figure it out soon....
