Ivo Santavo of No Question trikes of Czechoslovakia has kindly provided more images of his trike rear axles to show how these new differentials fit: This trike belongs to Lada Ekrtova, the Cz lady tricycle racer.
Here is the view for the cassette side showing the Campagnolo Chorus 11 speed rear changer on its fabricated hanger.
A closer look. The welding of the alloy framework shows very neat and competent workmanship.
A square-on view of the differential housing. Presumably the large splines are to aid dismantling.
It can be seen that the alloy framework welding is very neatly done and the fillets generous.
The disk brake rotor is attached on the right to the differential housing to provide equal braking to both axles. Rear braking is always subject to adhesion limits on a lightly loaded trikes.
A better view of the rotor disk. Its large diameter sets the clearance required for the rear axle housing reinforcement tubes.
Where disk brakes are fitted to the rear of British trikes they have usually been duplicated to provide balanced braking on one brake lever.
Though some vintage trikes had rear drum brakes. Sometimes a single at the centre of a differential model. Or one for each wheel fixed out at the rear hubs.

Sir, did the centre inboard brake worked for you during cornering, as cornering or braking behaviour changes for inboard braking differential. Can u mail me ur contact details or your experience plz..as I'm trying to build a tricycle with rear axle differential with inboard braking. My details: chjvarma@gmail.com
ReplyDeleteHi Nandhu,
ReplyDeleteThe trike you mention was a commercial product made in Czechoslovakia. I showed it on my blog but I have no contact with the trike makers. Searching online today produces nothing about "No Question trikes or tricycles." Perhaps they were unsuccessful and no longer manufacture tricycles?
