I have installed a very stiff rear wheel. The wheel I installed is a R-Sys. Even with this very stiff wheel the rear of the trike feels mushy. It is the frame. The Greenspeed Aero did feel much stiffer, but I have not ridden any more than around the parking lot. Let me also say that the Catrike 700 is a very quick trike even with this problem I find personally. Many people race the 700 and find them very fast.
