Patterson Metropolis on Terratrike Rover
The Patterson Metropolis is an economical way to extend the gear range of an 8-speed Terratrike.
This morning we put one of these on an 8-speed Terratrike Rover. The drive installation went smoothly. Then, a Terratrike front light mount was used to reposition the front water bottle cage to a much more vertical angle -- much improving its ergonomics.
Simultaneously, a cable stop was positioned on the end of an attached bracket. The bracket was custom fashioned in the shop.
Shifting is via a Microshift twist shifter with the cable run along the mainline of the frame.
The result looks great!
