Thanks guys, I had nasal surgery yesterday so I won't be able to do any serious work for a while but it gives me more time to think about what I want to do.

[bicycleguy]

It's sooo heavy, it weighs more than my tall bike and it's not even finished.

 

[bicycleguy]

I'm pretty much finished with it but now it's raining so I can't ride it. :x

I was just cruising along about 30mph and I locked up the rear wheel to do a crazy skid but I guess the rear wheel wasn't strong enough. Luckily I had my cap on instead of one those lame helmets so I looked cool flying thorugh the air :roll:. I was really suprised because I've already ridden atleast 20 miles and jumped a few curbs without any problems.

 

[stretch]

holy crap. :shock: maybe you should try a regular wheel on the back now.

 

[Greedy Glutton]

Helmets are overrated I've crashed several times without one and not a hint of niarb egamad ... the front wheel looks cool toss one of those on the back.
P.S cool fame man

Braking puts a tremendous twisting force at the hub. Whatever the force at the contact surface is multiplied by roughly 13times, that could be over a thousand pounds of torque at the moment of lockup.
It's a shame that Aerospoke doesn't have a coaster brake wheel! :wink:

ouch!
