Right now we are working on replacing that with a cable system. You are right on the cargo bed. Next version will have taller sides and we might also try glassing the cargo bed to see if we gain some rigidity.michael downeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14346880175611497080noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6014386266409266672.post-59117474243288367762011-04-12T08:27:58.217-07:002011-04-12T08:27:58.217-07:00Hi Michael,

Hard to see in the picture. <br />Integrating a shallow bathtub shape in the cargo bed may fix some of the handling issues you mention, with the extra reinforcement. And make it more load friendly. What HA and fork offset did you use?<br />Thanks for posting. May pull out the table saw for my next bike project.Drew Devereuxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13420775765955153979noreply@blogger.com
