(But it does involve trikes!) I just discovered that the (read carefully) Right side bearing cone on the Left side axle stub is badly worn: see photo.
https://picasaweb.google.com/BERTIN753/Late70sOrEarly80sKenRogersBRT Two questions: 1. Is fast wear on the left stub/right cone common, perhaps because this is the bearing system that takes the most direct force from the chain? I know that the man at the Trikes and (Odd) Bikes blog said that he had this problem with his Higgins -- signalled by knocking (which is what prompted me to first suspect the fw and, today, investigate the bearing cones. He replaced his typical single-side drive axle setup with a Trykit dual-wheel-drive setup.) 2. Where can one find these bearing cones? Is there a US source, or does one have to go to the UK? Particulars about US or UK sources? I've already asked on the CR list but thought I'd ask here, too, because: You Just Never Know.
