I have just found this link to a winter trike construction and it makes an interesting read. Winter is on the way and I thought someone may like to have a go at this. [www.hellbentcycles.com] Steve Re: Winter trike construction

IMO, for winter use, you need to be up out of the crud (on an upright trike), with a differential (if it's a Delta) and hub braking, preferably on all 3 wheels. Sadly, 2 wheel drive with diff, usually means disraeli gears on a delta trike. A Ntwton-type upright tadpole trike would be perfect. The golden rules for winter bikes are; Enclose, Enclose, Enclose!
