A big part of why we hear from folks with trouble is simple- you don't have to ask how to have fun!

How's this? I have built two dax kits and one rack mount (not really a build) and have two more in the wings, so to speak.

I have had over a thousand trouble free, break down free miles. I did run out of gas a couple of times and the frame mounts are not so good when the fuel is gone, the rack mount is as easy to pedal as a "regular" bike.

One bike I sold, the guy brought it back after awhile with the frame broken at the seatpost welds, but he was pretty big and rough on the bike too.

Granted, I don't run 'em that hard, and I did everything here-http://motorbicycling.com/f30/bicycle-motor-preperation-care-354.html before I ran them.

I spent the better part of last summer building and riding motorized bicycles and no problems...guess I should consider myself lucky?
