Holy S*** that's a trebuchet. I had no idea but that is truly scary. On the other hand the wheelbase on my TK2 is so short that when on the street with a front brake you have to be very very careful not to apply to much brake. I have gone over the bars before I knew what happened and landed on my feet running.
TIRE GRIP IS NOT AN ISSUE!!!
