I lengthened it by about 1.5 mm. I meant to only do 1mm, but the adjustment is a bit fiddly. I certainly felt I was getting better extension of my legs and was riding faster, though I am not sure how much of that is down to the three days of not riding. Still I feel that it is improved. At higher speeds, up around the 40kmh mark, I now feel that the extension is too far, so maybe I will try something in the middle. Anyway I will leave it the way that it is for a while.<\/p>\n<p><figure style=\"width: 100px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a title=\"Go to the photo page\" href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/yewenyi\/3558468151\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/static.flickr.com\/3327\/3558468151_3668aa8914_t.jpg\" alt=\"Greenspeed GT3\" width=\"100\" height=\"67\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">kingpin<\/figcaption><\/figure><br \/>\n&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><!--more-->I also adjusted the steering. This turned out to be much easier than I expected. There was just one locking nut to loosen and the bolt on the king pin to remove. Not really knowing what I was doing I only adjusted it in by 1\/2 of a turn. The man who looked after racing cars on the ride had said do one turn at a time. The steering certainly felt tighter and a low speeds it felt much more stable. But when I got up to high speeds going down hill it was still a bit wobbly, though better than before. So I plan to modify the steering by half a turn for some time until I get it stable. However, at the moment I am unsure how I will tell if I have gone too far.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"color: #ffffff\">Many people say: he fucking didn&#8217;t know a thing&#8217;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ffffff\">Man: that&#8217;s all we know, he still won&#8217;t!<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #ffffff\">Nab: because of that you thought he knew that part<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Well, over the weekend, I made some adjustments to the trike.
