The handlebar positions can be adjusted accordingly, but you want the stem mount far enough in front. Rim brake mounts should be attached on the rear legs. I tried it on the front for better looks, but the brake housings then hit your knees. I am going to have Rick start on one after the first of the year. My plan is to have him use a fork steer tube as the "head tube" which would allow you to use different stems to adjust for riding position. With this in mind would you still suggest moving the fork leg seperation from 8 to 10 inches at the top of tire? Also, is there an angle to the stem tube or does it follow the line of the fork legs extending the reach the taller the tube? Would you possibly use something closer to the head angle on a bike? Any input would be greatly appreciated. -- mtnjeffe ------------------------------------------------------------------------ mtnjeffe's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/16807 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/74685 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com |

I think he should at least put them on sale now because of all the major flaws they have. . I have used both the T7 and the stock Coker handle on my new Big One. I greatly prefer the Coker handle. I like that the bar ends are separately attached, allowing adjustment of the angle. Having upright bar ends makes a HUGE difference in being able to take weight out of the seat on longer rides. I'ts just more comfortable. The double bar (pi bar) Coker design is very sturdy. I would always feel the T7 move when I mounted. No movement with the Coker bar. A problem I see with the T7 is the twisting caused by only having a single attachment point back to the mounting bracket. I would guess that this is a major cause of breakage. The double bar Coker design is superior to the single bar T7, IMHO. I don't see why the T7 could use 2 bars, welded on either side of the seat bracket. --tom -- tomkarches ------------------------------------------------------------------------ tomkarches's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/12418 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/74685 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com |

Alright, so I finally got around to recycling my broken T7. I just cut it off and stuck it into a seat post which I attached to a stem with seat post clamps. So far it seems to work alright. I may shorten it a little though. The angle could be steeper too, and maybe I'll move the brake lever back to the handle bar. +-------------------------------------------------------------------+ |Filename: P050109_19.51kl.jpg | |Download: http://www.unicyclist.com/attachment/30744 | +-------------------------------------------------------------------+ -- munirocks mono for bono ------------------------------------------------------------------------ munirocks's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/16564 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/74685 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com |
