Oh I see. I was wrong on the routing. They’re a moron.

its terminal:
I was about 20 miles into a ride and swapped from the big ring to the little ring and broke 3 chainring bolts, causing me to bend the inner ring really bad, so this is my field fix that I just haven’t changed. Makes the little ring entirely useless, but I have almost 100 miles on just the big ring now and it seems to be going fine. Truly this is what I get for not paying a lot of attention and buying my chainring and mismatched bolt set up at my local bike coop. Pretty excited to get down there and put on a working one soon.
So dude got home and didn’t fix it

chainring and mismatched bolt set up
I assume this means too-long chainring bolts and the chainring was loose or something.

I had a chainring bolt fall out while I was on a 15% climb and I folded the small ring over so I couldn’t turn the cranks. Walked 5 miles in my road shoes before a nice stranger picked me up and drove me home.
Some of them ran a criss-cross around the tube with brazed on noodles. It looks like this one is using one half of the noodles and routing into the V noodle?

I wish the roadies in NA were as kooky as the ones in the EU. They love their TT Hooligans.

What about using a trike dynamo, or do the commercial lefty forks have some sort of different for the sake of being different axle attachment?
Has anyone done like a super beefed up left fork leg (for disc) and then just like a pencil right leg (so it takes a normal axle)? Would that work and not be flexy?

the lefty axle design is much older and more stable than any of the trike axle interfaces
Schmidt makes 8 different ones! for Trikes – SON Hub Dynamos
