Sweeeeet. I want those wheels on my bike.
One question though. Where is the final drive? I see it riding, so it must have one.

I have this sudden urge to go use these types of wheels to make a Light Cycle from the movie Tron...

Most likely there is a jack shaft at the rear of the transmission that drives a cylinder that presses against the rear wheel.RhadamYgg wrote:Sweeeeet. I want those wheels on my bike.

A who, A what? That's possible??? Ahhrggg I need to look this stuff up... I'd think that arrangement would give a rough ride. But it makes more sense then a gigantic belt that I was thinking it would have.Johnj wrote:Most likely there is a jack shaft at the rear of the transmission that drives a cylinder that presses against the rear wheel.RhadamYgg wrote:Sweeeeet.

Very neat - but they didn't have anything on the drive process. I would think a cylinder hitting the wheel would double the wear on the tire in the center - and I would have thought it would be rough.NorthernPete wrote:heres a link about that wheel..... pretty cool stuff...

But plainly the drive mechanism is not rough.
