Dear Veemo Community,
The Veemo requires neutral toe alignment when loaded to ensure a safe ride, and prevent problems such as excessive tire wear.
The toe angle on the Veemo changes during compression of the shock. This must be accounted for when setting the alignment.
Similar to suspension on mountain bikes, the suspension of the Veemoshould be tuned to the weight of the rider. When the Veemo is unloaded, it should have a small amount of toe-in (depending on the weight of the rider). Loading the Veemo wiht the weight of the rider, and compressing the shocks will cause the wheels to toe-out. The target is to have the wheels aligned at the neutral position when the rider is sitting on the Veemo. It may be easiest to achieve this by having a friend of similar weight sit on the Veemo during the tuning process.
In order to adjust the toe angle to achieve more toe-in, screw the rod-ends further into the steering links (reducing the overall length of the steering linkage).
In order to adjust the toe angle to achieve more toe-out, unscrew the rod-end further away from the steering links (increasing the overall length of the steering linkage).
Use a measuring tape to measure the distance between the front two wheels at:
- the front of the front tires
- the rear of the front tires
These distances should be the same when the Veemo is loaded with a rider. When these distances are the same, you have achieved neutral toe angle and you are ready to ride!
Ensure that you compare the distances betwen the front two wheels at the same height from the ground, as the camber angle will also affect this distance.
For reference, please take a look at the diagrams below to understand the toe angle:
