Bike as winch
I love my bikes however I would like to use an old frame as a winch to pull my 18 foot catamaran up an incline to where I park it. Has anyone tried this? Any suggestions?
I was thinking that removing the rear spokes and rim and using the hub as a spool would work.
I remember years ago seeing a picture of a guy who used a bike frame and rear wheel (as a tow spool) to tow a radio controlled glider up into the air. Worked quite well. The guy was from South Africa I believe.
