They claim a track bike is in the works too........ |
my head hurts thinking about setting that chain tension.
|
interestingly enough that paint option is called "anal sex." they also offer have a flesh colored tube with white spray detail dubbed "MTBukakke"
|
dual drive is the worst idea ever ever ever
|
someone please explain to me how left drive SS works.
|
someone please explain to me why bike companies name their products things such as "finger bangers" "anal sex" "bukakke" "strip bars" etc, especially bmx companies

What's funny is maybe now about a year ago a thread was made with a bike like that. He claimed it was inefficient in comparison to single drive. The noobs are catching on later-- and they're only going to find that it sucks. :D

Anyone else notice they used vertical dropouts? Good work guys.
|
it looks like it has an eccentric BB though
|
SS 29er = good.
Dual Drive is ********. 100+years of the saftey bicycle has proven that one chain is enough. |
I think I have a marketing slogan for them. "Dual drive. because Single speed mountain bikes aren't heavy enough"
|
On their site they claim there is a torque advantage with dual drive. Sounds like BS to me.

you know what would be deck? Triple drive! A singlespeed with triple cranks, and 3 cogs on the rear cassette. All at the same ratio. It would have all the weight of a geared system with none of the mechanical advantage. Perfect chainline would be offset by 3 times the mechanical friction, and it would look SO BADASS!
|
you mean, 3 cogs and triples on each side.

double side drive with 3 chains on each side! 6 times the fun!

We know he searches the forums sometimes for his name so I'll just drop SHELDON and BROWN a couple of times here. You reading this, Sheldon? :D |

For those who are hating on the design, there is a photo somewhere on the internet of a bike with 3 chains, all on the right side. Three chainrings, all the same size, and three cogs on a normal MTB hub with spacers. |

Outside the arctic circle, though, it seems a bit overkill. It would be cool to get a regular mountain triple - say, 24, 34, 44 teeth on the chainrings - and then have three different cogs on the back that make the gear ratios the same. Did I say cool? I meant dorky. |
Ah that's all crap. It's still rear wheel drive. I want a mtb w/ two wheel drive. That'd be useful. I mean useless.

http://www.christini.com/index2.php It's not exactly 2-wheel drive, but the way I've heard it described is if your rear wheel starts to spin, the front wheel will take the force and pull you forward. It's apparently incredible. Maintenance is supposed to be pretty easy too, but I wouldn't bet on it. And I think there's a weight penalty as well... |
