Sunday 17th 48F/9C [6.45] Bright, but still waiting for the sun. It is promised to reach 22C/72F this afternoon. Peak temperatures falling slowly, but steadily, over the next week. Night time temperatures are already lower.
6.50 Almost time for a walk.
7.20-7.50 A brisk walk along the road in quiet, Sunday traffic. The low, blinding sun providing the rural atmosphere.
A pretty side street in Fåborg.
11-ish. We are going for a drive to Fåborg. A coastal town some 30km away.
15.20 72F/22.2C. Warm sunshine. Returning from a tour of Fåborg and a spot of lunch.
20.00 The Morris has just had the most thorough clean since I brought it home. My sister actually enjoys cleaning cars. So that's what happened. Rinsed with the hose, shampooed, rinsed again, wiped dry. Glass cleaned inside and out. Vacuumed the carpets. Cleared the glove compartments.
Having eaten so well at lunchtime we just had scrambled eggs on toast for dinner. I can now add scrambled eggs to my diet. My attempts at scrambled eggs so far were merely untidy omelettes.
I took the recycling bins along the drive while my sister washed up. The neighbour's cat was hunting outside and looked very cross as I rumbled past.

ReplyDeleteChris, I'm sorry to bother you, but in my searches about the Trykit tricycle transmission, I happened across your blog. I am trying to service a custom Marinoni that a para-athlete I work for has. It has a Trykit rear end, and I cannot fathom how it is supposed to come apart. Could I trouble you at all for any guidance you can lend? Thanks, David
DeleteHi David, No apology required. I am sorry I missed your inquiry. Family have been visiting this week. I have deleted your original comment because it contained your private information. Best not to take any chances with spammers and scammers.
Regarding the Trykit 2WD: I wonder whether you mean dismantling the entire axle assembly or just the 2WD freehub? The axles are held in place by circlips in the axle casing, bearing housings. The wheels have to come off first, or course. So that you can reach the circlips. You'll need inward acting, bent, circlip pliers for this. Trykit provided a slide hammer for removing the axles. This screwed into the hollow axle ends. The slide weight then allowed the axles to be easily withdrawn. In the absence of the slide hammer I suggest you refit the wheels and slap the spoke area outwards with your hand.[Gloves optional.] This will allow the axles to be withdrawn. The Trykit freehub contain two drive pawls instead of the usual one. All this should be visible in several of my posts.
I first fitted a Trykit 2WD to my Higgins Ultralight. Later I had one built into my Trykit trike. These posts are accessible on my blog if you use the blog search box for: "Trykit 2WD maintenance." This brings up a list of numerous posts. Some of which show cutaway illustrations or photos of the 2WD freehub parts. If this doesn't help then feel free to contact me at chris.b at smilemail.dk

Chris
