When installing on a bike, they say to install the brace, then bounce the front tire, then tighten the fork axel.
So how would you "bounce" the front end of the trike. There is no kickstand.
If you lift it on a typical lift, you cant bounce it without dropping the bike.
Straddle the Trike. Feet on the ground. Push down, Pull up on the handlebars several times.
The front tire is suppose to be off the ground. Can't reach the ground with my feet because of the floorboards.
Then try two people. One on each handlebar. In a perfect world, it would be nice to get the front wheel off the ground, but is it really necessary. When I installed the SuperBrace, I did not get the front wheel off the ground. Later, it was checked by a Suspension Specialist and he said there was no BIND.
With the SUPER BRACE bolts just snugged and the front wheel perfectly straight, hold the front brake, and plant the front tire against a solid wall with it on the ground.....bounce up and down pushing down hard on the Frontend....pick up the front, then repeat......tighten the bolts securely.....ThumbUp
