    Just finalising my measurements.

    Have seen contradictory methods for measuring toe-in.  Can you confirm your measurements are over the bike's wheel base (i.e. distance between the axles) rather than the overall length of the bike, as appears often on-line.

    Would seem more logical to me to be the wheelbase as it is the touch points of the three tyres that seem critical, but I just wanted to check.

    Thanks

      Hi

      I can see now why these trials chairs come up regularly on ebay as unfinished projects!

      I have decided to completely redo all the mountings as they come off the chair in entirely the wrong directions, and they were a bodge anyway by the previous owner.

      Was going to use pipe with the same dimensions as what is there already.  Am looking at mild steel CDS is this OK or is there something stronger/lighter?

      The chair has a 17" wheel. If it were 18" mountings would be more level (and possibly easier, and more aesthetically pleasing), and the outfit would have more ground clearance.  Is there any disadvantage is changing to an 18" wheel, apart from the expense!

      Thanks for your help.

      Stuart
