my full hubless project

[thdu]

here the bike in the 3D world :roll: :

and after a couple of years and many many Xpériences, the bike in the real world :mrgreen: :

some détails and it's finished , isn't it ? :wink: :?

So...are you gonna have to peddle backwards to go forwards?

 

[marcusthemoose]

how do you get these to work wheels right? or is there some precision engineering in there? just add an extra cog in there to get it rolling properly

 

[xHOBOPHOBIAx]

I believe to get the wheels to work he will have to have an arm or something pulling the wheel into the friction drive.

So...are you gonna have to peddle backwards to go forwards?

no, i want to build a personal cog to pedal forward 8)

is there some precision engineering in there?

no, i have no money for this :?

i show you the first ride :mrgreen: :

That is beyond cool. I have seen some hubless bikes before buy yours takes the cake. Can you post some details pictures of the "connection" to the frame?

 

[xHOBOPHOBIAx]

wow, very cool, i wouldn't have ever thought about doing it that way... will you give the magical secret of the bike?

 

[sojudave]

Back when the biker build off was on discovery i saw a dude build a motorcycle like that.

 

[sensor]

looking forward too seeing this done

 

[marcusthemoose]

show us the other side so we can see how it works. pllleeeaaassseee i am intrigued.

 

[thdu]

mmm... the other side, but it's exactly the same :mrgreen:

 

[marcusthemoose]

pair of tyres on each end :?

 

[Ed_Straker's_Rat]

Wow!

 

[loudboys]

mmm... the other side, but it's exactly the same :mrgreen:

Hmm. You missed April 1 by a couple of weeks.

 

[cruisinfornia]

mmm... please show us pics of the frame without tires.

 

[user 135]

Gonna have to get scientific on this one.

Observations:

• There are no valve stems.
  In the videos, there appears to be a seam in the tires

Hypothesis

• The tires are spilt and the connection must be in that groove.
  Further the tires must be filled with something, to make them 2 solid halves.

OR just rely on Google. :mrgreen:
Nice work on a simple design. Most hubless systems seem to rely on expensive bearings and fabrication work.

Your other work is impressive too.

WHAT SORCERY IS THIS!!!!

that kind of stuff is way beyond me. neat to look at though

i still think it's witchcraft

*gathers torch and pitchfork just in case*

 

[stretch]

no seriously man, wanna know how you did that. lets see the guts of the wheels, if you dont mind showing us.

congratulation you're right

okay okay , I show you the frame without the tires :mrgreen:

 

[stretch]

now how to do the drive line.. :wink:
