Aluminum Jonny's EZ3 Leaner
His main issue now is how to lock the leaning mechanism at stops
  • It seemed tricky to attach any sort of clamp to the wobble bar itself.
  • He tried a longitudinal brace from the main frame to one of the swingarms with a quick release clamp to lock its telescopic sliding action. Someone recommended a shock with a lock-out setting, but he has tried it with some damping and that is NOT a good thing to have on this design.
  • Tim and others recommended a disk brake (perhaps cut down partly) attached to one swingarm with a caliper on the main frame. One brake might suffice, though if there is a lot of suspension action (which would let one side still move while the other was locked) he might need to do it on both sides.
