Lyn Posted June 27, 2010 Report Share Posted June 27, 2010 Honest opinion in one word: DON'T :-o Death trap! (and I've stepped on one or two in the past) No protection from sharp edges for your dogs (and it's got some!) Break only on the front wheel is an accident waiting to happen. At best, ineffective, because all your weights over the back wheels. At worst, your going over the bars, or off the side when you try to break and steer. If you ever see an experienced musher doing a powerslide round a turn on a standard 3-wheel rig, that's done with the use of one rear brake. Try it on that rig and my guess is you'll end up in traction....or worse Definately far from race-legal (with good reason lol) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lyn Posted June 28, 2010 Report Share Posted June 28, 2010 Even bought as a bargain, I don't think you could adapt it to make it safer without great expense. Rear wheels would need changing and brakes adding and looking at it, you couldn't put bigger spoked rear weels on to do that. The whole thing needs a frame round it and the dog attatchment point shifting off the headstock. Also needs protection between the footplates and the wheels so you don't inadvertently stick your foot in the wheel. Just don't like to see sharp, square edges anywhere on a rig. Everything should allow a dog, rocks, and your limbs to glance off it. Also, being aluminium, it's a specialist welding job to do it (we've got an aluminium rig, but all round bar). I can (and have) welded our steel rig myself with normal welding gear, but our two race rigs are stainless and aluminium. Thankfully never broken either (yet! Lol) but if we do, it's a send-away job to fix em. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
