#410191 Jonathan (User) Need more detail? Platinum Boarder Posts: 1132 Ever watch Bike Build Off on Discovery? 6 Years, 6 Months ago   A guy built a sweet orange colored chopper on the show I watched this past weekend, but that wasn't the cool thing. What was so neat was the rear wheel drive. It was a black box that the drive belt connected to. It had a spring loaded black rubber roller on the other side. That roller sat against the wheel and turned the rear wheel. The (huge) rear wheel was so clean. No drive wheel, one side connection to the swing arm. Very cool. Here's the episode: Forward up to 29:15 for an explanation and exploded view of the drive   Logged     Last Edit: 2011/08/16 15:00 By Jonathan.   Feel free to PM me and call my attention to any detailing or electronics questions!

Platinum Boarder Posts: 1985 Re:Ever watch Bike Build Off on Discovery? 6 Years, 6 Months ago   I wonder if it slips when wet? What about tire wear?   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #410248 TimB1007 (User) Gold Boarder Posts: 968 Re:Ever watch Bike Build Off on Discovery? 6 Years, 6 Months ago   Jonathan wrote: A guy built a sweet orange colored chopper on the show I watched this past weekend, but that wasn't the cool thing.

Expert Boarder Posts: 478 Re:Ever watch Bike Build Off on Discovery? 6 Years, 6 Months ago   I watched that episode the other day too. I had never seen anything like that on a bike before. There have been some pretty cool innovations on some of the bikes from that show.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #410279 3 UP (User) Senior Boarder Posts: 241 Re:Ever watch Bike Build Off on Discovery? 6 Years, 6 Months ago   With the ammount of rocks that stick to my tire when I come off the highway I cant see it working to well chewing rocks etc.. Pretty much for trailer queens.   Logged     BUILD THREAD http://roadstarclinic.com/component/option,com_fireboard/Itemid,187/func,view/catid,57/id,678376/   The administrator has disabled public write access. #410376 CoyoteMan (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 2455 Re:Ever watch Bike Build Off on Discovery? 6 Years, 6 Months ago   3 UP wrote: With the ammount of rocks that stick to my tire when I come off the highway I cant see it working to well chewing rocks etc.. Pretty much for trailer queens. +1 on that. I think that most of those bikes that come from those shows are for the trailer queen crowd, but they are pretty neat. W.

Platinum Boarder Posts: 2423 Re:Ever watch Bike Build Off on Discovery? 6 Years, 6 Months ago   Years ago Cox made a little gas motor that would bolt to the front forks of your bicycle. It had a plastic roller that would engage the front tire and you would fly down the street at 25mph! The Idea is not new. You could order one off of comic books or get one by selling Grit newspapers!!   Logged     \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\" No matter where you go....there you are.\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\"   The administrator has disabled public write access. #410406 RCStephenson (User) Senior Boarder Posts: 250 Re:Ever watch Bike Build Off on Discovery? 6 Years, 6 Months ago   Bushman52 wrote: You could order one off of comic books or get one by selling Grit newspapers!! Grit newspapers....that brought back some memories (and probably dated us as well).   Logged     Sig Pic deleted - larger than 450 pixels and 50 KB   The administrator has disabled public write access.
