Hey trike owners, do trike axles have toe in? There is a 1 inch difference in width when measured in front vs back. Am i dealing with a bent axle, or is this factory engineered? I've already laced my 1st set of custom wheels, but really dont want to do all sorts of cutting and welding only to find that the thing will never track properly with this axle set-up

Nope, they should be parallel, even tadpole trikes are set at 0 toe. That will have a lot of drag if you don't correct it.

Are the wheels trued up yet? We could probably use an overhead shot to see how to correct it.
