| "Rotor Q-Rings help to minimize the time spent in the dead spot while pedaling. While oval chainrings have historically been controversial, we believe that allowing a rider to fine tune the chainring position offers opportunities to minimize the dead spot never before realized with conventional chainrings." |
| Rotor Q Rings, triple: 30, 40, 53 & 24, 34, 44 |
| $300/245 |
| While the components that are factory installed on ICE trikes are quite serviceable and more than adequate for most riders, higher level components and component packages are available for riders with specific requirements. There are applications for special needs riders as well. The Trike Store offers these excellent alternatives which can be specified as part of a new trike build or purchased for installation on a trike already in hand. |
| For riders who desire a crank length other than the standard lengths of the factory crank set, 170mm and 152mm, Shimano 105 is available in 165mm, 170mm, 172.5mm and 175mm. These cranks are premium sets relative to the factory cranks and the performance potential may better fit the requirements of some riders. New trikes can be equipped with the standard factory cranks or this or other excellent sets. The Shimano crank set is shown, but not priced, with the required bottom bracket. |
| The front derailleur on factory equipped trikes is a 9.0 by SRAM. This derailleur funtions quite well. However, when using cranks with larger rings a road derailleur will be necessary. Microshift or Shimano 105 are good choices. |
| Several types of bicycle shifters can be successfully used on trikes although some require particular installation techniques and mirror accomodation. The factory supplied shifters are SRAM 9.0 twist grip which function excellently. Shimano bar-end shifters are available, as are X.0 twist grip shifters by SRAM, and trigger shifters by SRAM and Shimano. Rider preference or need will determine which to use as will rear derailleur selection in some cases. |
| Light weight cassettes are available for the 26" trikes. (The cassette on the suspended trikes is a custom ICE unit, 9-32, and cannot easily be changed except for a Shimano road cassette which would limit the lower gear range.) |
| Perhaps the most frequent source of attention among components is the rear derailleur. It is used constantly and must work properly. Various levels of premium rear derailleurs by Shimano and SRAM are available for new trikes and for upgrading. |
| Factory supplied chain is KMC Z9000 which is availabe for replacement. However, chains are available with special attributes like lighter weight or special coatings. There are several premium chains from KMC, SRAM, and Connex to choose from. |

| The mirrored hydraulic Gator brakes offered by ICE are excellent and provide more than enough stopping power for any requirement. However, for those who prefer mechanical disc brakes, Avid BB7 may be the best available. Installation of these and other non-mirrored brakes requires the optional ($50) left hand international king post adapter. Other brake systems are available as well in both mechanical and hydraulic. |
