How to crash a KMX trike

After crashing the road bike, then progressing to the mountain bike for a crash, I thought that three wheels would add some stability and safety into my life, well no.... not when you try to pull a "stoppy" and one tyre is under inflated !

Mr Muffett has the full story and more pictures on his blog:-

Nice one! I discovered that it was possible to tip Alec's 'bent over last year when I braked hard and discovered the essential asymmetry of the front brakes. It's interesting to read from his blog that on yours the front brakes are linked. Is it easy to keep them adjusted so that you always stop in a straight line?

So far yes, there is individual adjustment on each side, althought i only really seem to use the rear for the hand brake turns....
