Just continuing the old thread where I asked what size shocks to use for my first recumbent trike build with full suspension.
Original thread here:
I got as far as installing the front shocks and found that the 500lb ones are a good size for my weight.
Here is a video of me jumping on the frame to test the shocks
The rear shock is a 750lb that came from the donor mountain bike. It is a bit stiff so considering swapping it for a 500lb as well.
Original thread here:
What shock size for full suspension recumbent
Hi, I am planing on building my first recumbent trike with dimensions based on the StreetFox but I will be building different front forks and spindles so I can add front suspension. I was considering using mountain bike shocks for the front suspension as well which seem cheap enough on ebay...
