Freewheelin' Gambles

[skyrider]

Well I guess the name will stay. It's been fun and we are finally done.

Started with this.

And ended with this. Thanks to everyone of the kids that helped as well as the Freewheelin' staff that was able to use some of this as a teaching project as well.

I've always wondered if that would work... Because I always disliked the fact that both sides of a bicycle were not semetrical. This is too cool.
Nice bike, Wel done!

Both drive foward and freewheel backward.Same number of teeth on both front(44) and both rear sprockets(16) and same amount of links in each chain(106) the problem was in getting the width of the hub to match the width of the bottom bracket.

Yeah it's a Profile Racing bmx dual drive hub threaded for a right and left hand freewheel. I've only seen one of the original clemtwin hubs in the past several years and it was broken and not for sale.
