I'd like to get into it for the spring when the surf is blown out around here.
more pic of how the backwheel works please. Been thinking about using a motorcyclewheel for my schoolproject bike but i haven't really figured out how to get everything to work, like freewheeling etc (don't think i will put gears on in)
would be very glad if you would like to help by writing a post on how you made everything work

what do you want to know dude ? i can help you
i would go for gears though dude it helps to get you up to speed without straining .....also 60 psi in the rubber helps
i welded the 7 speed cassete to the sproket then ran the hub bolt straight through the centre

for now i'm ok i think since i'm going to start with some other things first, but later on i may need your help. will it be ok if i maybe pm you then?
i've been thinking about not using a motorcycle rim and widen a bike rim instead. little like this:

but instead of puting a couple of rims togheter i will be cutting one rim in half and den try to widen that.
i will reconsider about adding gears. the reason i didn't plan to get some was because the extra job to put them there, just thought i would be easier to build a bike without gears

nice, i will
well you'll always learn something
the thing i though about using from the link i sent was puting an extra edge around the rim to make it bigger, for example i would take a 16" rim and weld a extra edge on it to make it a 17"
Seriously Impressive! 8)
