I'm going to get my wheel alignment checked by a local specialist soon, and was wondering if there's a basic set-up that's generally regarded as being the best for the TR1ke?
Any specifics that I could give the specialist to work to would be a great help.
Kind regards,
Chris

My front wheels have no toe in so run parallel to the chassis for the road.
I'm experimenting with camber but have it set at 1.5 degree neg at the mo
The rear wheel should be set with the chain adjusters equal providing your chassis and swingarm are straight.

I agree with Kevin! My tR1ke has the same settings: All wheels parallel, no offset. Front wheels have as minimal as possible negative camber. Works fine, very predictable handling. Great for public road use. About camber: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Camber_angleAbout toe in: Experimented with toe in, result is a more nervous handling of the tR1ke in curves. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toe_in |

Mine too. Set wheels parallel with straight edges and measure when I built it and have not moved it since

Thanks for the info Kevin, Edwin and Paul. As it turns out, the specialist is unable to deal with trikes. :-(
