[ytriples-l] Bits from Bil(TM)

[Ben Vahl]

Like I need further Work Out!  BTW, I am finding that the front end flex 
induced by sidecar duty is taking a toll on the G's brake calipers.  They 
now have enough slop at the carrier bolt that they rattle noticeable while I 
ride and I can hear them smack into the mounting bracket when I use the 
brakes.  Could be it's just the rubber bushing, but I haven't torn down yet 
to see.

I'm going to try some Special forks too, just to see if the reduced trail 
will make steering easier.  I rather think that the Special brake calipers 
might be better for this application too, since they are designed to pivot 
as the rotor demands.  Heck, thinking on that, the whole concept makes good 
sense (finally!) in terms of compensating for the forks flexing around the 
axle.

<snip>   We should be able to find some good paved ones that'll give
Ben and the 'hack a work out. The one provision that's disappointing is
whatever we take exploring has to have 4 wheels and doors... :(
