Hi
Today I have been working on a lightweight hardshell seat mount for my leaning recumbent trike. I have perfectly good timber seats for the trike but these can be a bit heavy and unaerodynamic for long distance hilly rides. As well I have a hardshell seat in the shed I had only used briefly, so I will be making use of this.
Several months ago I attended a Solidworks, and Matt from
Emona was one of the exhibitors. His companies printer seemed capable of making some parts I'd been thinking about so I worked on some parts and eventually ordered and received them.
Photos above show the initial results, I had a diversion along the way and made a robot sculpture. There is still a bit of work to do but I will post updates.
Next post here
Regards
Steve Nurse
