So I realized I posted that other message a few times. I removed the old ones with out comments

Lemmy wasn’t showing them so I kept trying and now I see there were a few of the same posts.

Anyways,

Problem: Speed wobble over 25mph and during specific road surface and load distribution scenarios.

Attempts: Elastic cord tensioner scheme.

1. Used a old dropbar clamp to make a attachment point on the left side of fork to mirror steering linkage arm on right side.
2. Adjustable tension loop to frame. Max elongation set at furthest turning point. Created feedback spring effect that was fine but felt funny. Removed.
3. Adjustable tension loop from left bottom of frame to steering arm. Goal was to put tension on system to reduce harmonics. Still installed

Solution: Replaced headset top half with Cane Creek Viscoset ZS 44/28.6

Big thanks to Kash at WarmPlanetBikes for the tip!

New top speed is 43 mph downhill. *not with kids of course…

Hoping to build up this community with lots of great content.

Share your ride, ask some questions about upgrades, discuss car free lifestyles … whatever!

Hey everyone. Wanted to start a community where we can share the love of cargo biking.

Please share tech questions, life style questions, anything really.

Happy to discuss and help anyone through their conversion to a freeing themselves and their family from car independence!

It’s awesome to see these stations filled up around town and neighborhoods. Wishing this system and the communities who use them the best of luck!

This one is out side of Humble Sea Brewing. Right next to the rail trail is a great way to encourage safer transportation.

The bike is a custom handmade steel frame from some old friends. 1/2 Columbus Zola, 1/2 Reynolds 853.

The bag system was a diy system I wanted to try out. Rock steady but heavy.

Hoping to see this community grow!
