New Super Tryke owner

[kubla]

Hello, I just bought a Heald Super tryke off ebay and picked it up
will be asking for parts information, specifically brake upgrades to replace the band brakes on it

Welcome Kubla : I never had much to do with Super Tryke's, but we are inspired by your pictures and information is easy to get. Steve

I suppose I should get a picture, once I find my camera again :mad2:

I just bought brake bands for my Super Tryke. About $75. Power Tec in Benton Harbor, Mi. has parts for Healds.Call Ron Kimball at 1-800-535-9529

I would like to find out if there is anyway to upgrade the brakes to disk brakes without major work

I also need a front brake, mine does not have one

I dont think they ever had front brakes.
I rebuilt one about 12years ago, the rear band brakes works really good - just use well-routed, thick cables.

Mine had a diff in the rear, worked awesome. I should dig up old pics and scan them.

there was a upgrade for disk hydraulics on the heald haulers but could be put on the supertryke. I will look at my tryke and hauler and see how well this would work i do have a biuld sheet for the supertryke i could send you if you pay shipping ive god a frame im parting out just sold fenders but still have parts do you have the single seat if not i do let me know what you need we can deal:thumbsup:

 

[kubla]

I have the original build sheet and catalog for it
here is a picture, now that I found the camera cable

Also need to find some stronger shocks for the back, these collapse completely when I sit on it, I am large
