Hello
has anyone out there got a rewaco FX5 or similar trike?
The rear mudguards are held on with 2 x M10 bolts and over just a few miles they come loose. I have tightened them up to snapping point, used spring washers, nylock nuts you name it but can't stop them easing off and the mudguard coming loose.
I think the main thing that isn't helping may be rear shocks, they are coil over type and there seems very little travel, when I stand on the crash bar near the rear wheel and bounce up and down the spring does not compress very much if at all. As the mudguard brackets attach to the wheel control arm, if there is little or no damping they get the brunt of every vibration bump and pot hole and you can see the fibreglass mudguard vibrating as you hit the bumps.
if anyone has experience changing the rear shocks or had any similar issues would appreciate any advice.
