A screwup can be corrected, the clamp protects the lower collar. |

|
Grady Womble Has designed this adjustable seat, Looks great.
I think the pictures are self explanatory.
The simplest frame has no step thru, and is slightly higher.
|
|
|
|
Build the right frame rail a mirror image of the left. you will need 1 extra cross fitting. |
|
|
|
Two wood rails were used for the seat supports. |
|
|
|
The four13" frame side tubes were lengthened to 15" to add leg room. |
|
|
Note on all frames the wood dowel extends from plug
to plug in the rear most cross member. the steel tube extends from the dowel
forward . If you cut a 10" top rail in half it will run almost to the front
axle.
The steering system.

|
|
|
|
|
To build your own brackets the squares are 2" |
|
|
|
If you can not find the plug to the left substitute a 1&1/4"X 3/4" reducer and a 3/4" plug . |
|

Trim to fit. |
|
|
Brackets and rear alignment.
|
|
|
|
adjust outer bracket so all axle holes are in a straight line and centered in pvc frame. |
|
|
|
Mark the frame center between the projections and center the inner axle hole on that line. |
|
|
|
If you can not find the plug shown to the left. substitute a 1&1/4" to 3/4" reducer and a fender washer. |
|
|
|
Plug with washer inside. |
|
|
The brakes
|
|
|
|
Assemble brackets as upper right |
|
|
|
This is the left outer, or right inner. |
|
|
|
Turn adjusting screw on the arm all the way in. |
|
|
|
Rotate plastic adjusting nut until arm is spring loaded away from wheel, and tighten bolt. |
|
|
|
Install brackets to bike. Two sets of cables will come with the kit. use the longer cable and discard the others. |
|
|
|
|
|
Use adjusting nut to balance opposite sides and prevent drag. |
|
|
|
Insert the barrel end of the cable into the handle and cut the other end off so the cable can pass thru the noodle. |
|
|
|
use 10mm nut to adjust shoe, the toe should contact first. |

You will need to adjust the distance between inner
and outer bracket to 4&1/4" . The easiest way is to add a spacer to the
forward end and increase the bends .
Beware A
severed wire is not covered under warrantee. the supplier charges a $75.00
fee to open the wheel and resolder.
File the holes to fit flat spots on the axle to prevent it from turning.
|
|
|
|
Use a marker to shade the area that needs to be altered. use the drop out plate as a pattern and scribe with a sharp instrument the rectangular shape. File to except the axle . |
|
|
|
Drill a hole to except the tang on the drop out plate. add a hole to tie back the wire. note some kits do not have the plate. |
|
|
|
Take a common 1/2' lock washer flatten it out. cut a segment out wide enough for the wire to exit. |
|
|
|
The drop out plate has the wire running thru the center. than the lock washer.The wire will now exit in side the bracket thru the notch in the lock washer. |
|
|
|
you will need to tie the wire out of harms way. |
