Axle trouble

Last Saturday I had a ride planned together with a friend. The intend was twofold:
  1. I needed to get out of a house refurbishment dip, figured a short ride might clear the head
  2. I commute twice a week over a one-way distance of 18km. This is a bit short to get a somewhat healty condition.
So we started out for a ride of 85km. We did not get far though, after 20km or so, my rear wheel was clearly not tracking straight any more. Even worse, it even rubbed the bodywork.  After examination, a weld broke on the rear suspension axle. We did an on-the-road-fix in order to drive Mango130 back home, carefully....

My first post....

I'm a firm beleaver in the use of a universal language. As it stands, on the net, this seems to be the English language so here we go... 

Figured I'd start a blog relating the adventures of Mango 130. I'll start with a bit of history on Mango 130.

  • Build March 2008 by Sinner
  • Obtained in 2010 as a second hand velomobile via ww.velomobiel.nl. The original owner is unknown to me. I'm interested in the name of the former owner(s) though; so if you happen to know..... please contact me.
  • I love cycling it ever since :) 
P.S. I'm not a native English speaker, so there will definately be a spelling mistake here and there, live with it.
