Trikke bent disc
Hey Andy!
How’s things… family…the crew, et al? I hope all is good.
As much as I’d rather bounce over to your pad and have an expert fix this… I’m currently back at home base in New Mexico, so – that option isn’t going to work.
My PONE has a problem brake disc. I’ve taken it off and pounded a bit with a rubber mallet. I’ve tried to bend it into shape – but seemingly – to no avail! My dad is grabbing two metal plates so I can try pounding/pressing the disc.
The disc looks like it’s ‘bowled’ ! Do you have any tricks – advice? I’ll order some new ones soon – I have a feeling I’m going to need them! I finally POPPED my FIRST tire this morning on my T8 — – sssshhhhhhBANGPOP! It was actually very thrilling – I was wondering when I’d hit just the right pebble or glass shard – or over inflate one of the little darlings. My T12 has been giving me the most joy and amazing riding thrills since you tuned it and put these amazing grips on – so much better now that I’m really in touch with how the Trikke works!!!
(just to brag to you, because I know you’ll appreciate this — I think, so far – at least 10 people have purchased a Trikke due to my simply ‘riding’ around and showing off and showing them how to get moving. I’ve got to work on the business side of this somehow I think!)
I hope to catch up with you in the future and ride. That ride on the Ponies to the market was all it took for me to grab the balls on the Tribred and show this mountain town what the future looks like!!!
Cheers

Bummer on the flat. The disc can be trued while mounted on the trikke. Its easier with the large T12 disc because of sheer size. You basically have to rotate the wheel looking for hi and lo spots, pushing and pulling as you rotate the wheel. A small crescent wrench closed down against the disc will act as a lever to motivate towards or away from the wheel. softly is the key. This should help until you get new discs.
Peace Brother
I had a great time riding with you as well.
