[LIST][*]What size Tikit do you have?[*]The weight seems odd: maybe because of your Schlumpf?

It's a size Medium with certain size Large elements, so it's about 25 pounds without the crap.[*]The trail for a *typical* bike is about 2 to 2.5 inches. The Brompton's trail is,
according to CyclingPlus, 24mm (0.945 inches). On Yak, measurements of the Tikit have come to about 35mm (1.378 inches).
- Medium size Tikit.
- Schlumpf. Yeah, guilty. Perhaps someone can measure a non-contaminated Medium Tikit and let me know the weight. I'll update the chart.
- On the trail. Hmmmmm. There is some "eyeballing" that comes with projecting the angle of the front axis. Perhaps someone else can take measurement and let me know the results for comparison.
You're right, even the objective measurements are controversial. I may be sorry I started this discussion.
I'll compare the Tikit's fenders vs the Brompton's. Will let you know.
