Note: If you have purchased the optional quick-release kit, please refer to the instructions for the kit in this
section of this manual.
The mudguards can also be adjusted to fit
various tyre sections. With the mudguard
fitted to the trike, slightly loosen the two bolts
holding the mudguard bracket to the frame
(so the two parts can just be slide against one
another). Move the mudguard frame to
where, if viewed from the side, there is an
even amount of clearance (about 6-8mm)
between the tyre and the mudguard profile.
Always check that the wheel spins freely after
adjusting mudguards.
4.2 Computer
A cycle computer can be fitted with the aid of the optional mounting kit. The computer display mount bolts
(supplied) onto the bottle bosses on the main frame (just in front of the main cross joint).
The sensor mount is fitted to the kingpost balljoint mount and set so that the sensor lines up with the magnet
clamped onto the spokes. The exact position will depend on the model of computer that is installed. To fit the
sensor mount, you will need a thin 11 mm spanner, and a 13mm spanner. The 11 mm spanner is to grip the
small flats of the ball joint under the rubber shield, while you use the 13mm spanner to loosen or tighten the ball
joint nut.
If you are fitting a wireless computer, the display should now be able to receive signals from the sender.
Because wireless computers are designed with upright bicycles in mind, they do not always work well on
recumbent trikes. If you find the computer is under-reading, or not receiving a signal at all, try moving the
position of the sensor so it is higher or lower; the sensor can be mounted below the sensor mount and the sensor
mount can be turned over to gain/lose addition height. As a last resort, the sensor mount can be bent to a more
vertical position, which some wireless computers seem to prefer.
If you are fitting a wired computer, you will first need to secure the display to the display mount. Lead the cable
out from the display (leaving a small amount of slack so the cable is not strained) and along the underside of the
crossaxle to the kingpost. Hold the cable in place temporarily with small pieces of electrical tape. Lead the cable
along the kingpost steerer arm (again, leaving a small amount of slack so the kingpost is free to move without
straining the cable) and secure the sensor to the sensor mount. Any extra cable can be coiled into a small loop
and secured to the steerer arm with a supplied cable tie. Check that the steering is able to move completely and
freely in both directions without straining the cable. Secure the cable to the frame along the underside of the
crossaxle using the supplied cable ties. Some people prefer to secure the cable with a single length of electrical
tape and cable ties securing each end of the tape and cable.
