See the photos, BruceInHouston
I attached the 562 Velo frame (modified with a trailer tire) to my Helix, using two 1X2 11 guage beams. Wow, it worked right out of the box! Of course I had all the wisdom here to guide me in doing it right the first time.
You will see in the photos I need to do some additional beefing up, but it is an excellent start.
I drove it about 50 mph, straight and true, but with some sort of harmonic wobble if I let go of the bars at that speed.
The car wheel flys easily of course, but that was just plain fun in the parking lot.
I could not get it to dive, but I was to afraid of that to do more than a hard turn a 10 mph. Was this a good sign, without weight? The trailer wheel objects to this loudly, naturally.
A diving left turn in this low center of gravity rig worries me. Maybe I will weld on something to scrape off.
It was soooooo comfortable!
Suggestions appreciated.
Cheers,
Bruce
