2
wheel
drive
conversions
were
the
origins
of
Trykit
Conversions
in
2002.
Many
tricycles
have
now
been
converted
from
one
wheel
drive
to
the
Trykit
cassette
based
two
wheel
drive
setup.
There
are
also
many
Longstaff
tricycles
with
the
old
Sachs
double
freehub
that
have
long
since
worn
out
and,
unable
to
obtain
new
sprockets
have
now
been
converted.
Longstaff
single wheel drive trikes are converted too.
The
Trykit
Cassette
2
wheel
drive
was
the
first
cassette
system
to
be
produced
for
trikes
back
in
2002.
It
was
designed
and
manufactured
completely
in
house
by
Geoff
Booker.
The
cassette
body
will
accept
any
Shimano
or
SRAM
cassettes
up
to
11
speeds
without
any
spacers
being
added
or
removed.
Trikes
that
are
convertible
are,
Higgins,
Rogers
and
Longstaff
machines
and
any
other
makes
that
incorporate
their
axles.
Higgins
and
Rogers
machines
require
new
drive
shafts
to
be
made,
and
the
cup
and
cone
bearings
replaced
with
deep
groove
sealed
bearings.
The
shafts
can
have
either
standard
Higgins
/
Rogers
hub
ends,
Trykit
ends
or
Longstaff
ends.
All
hubs
are
kept
in
stock
with
a
choice
of
spoke
drilling
to
suit
requirements.
To
go
with
the
extra
sprockets
and
later
indexed
gear
systems,
Trykit
also
manufacture
a
redesigned
gear
hanger
that
is
designed
for
indexed
gears, and will also improve gear changes on non index systems.
