March 1, 201214 yr Hi found a link to a lovely 4rt with some very special bits, never seen carbon wheels on a trials bike and belt drive rather than chain ? http://www.teamcecotto.com/cecottonews/psoc11f2.htm Cheers Mike
March 1, 201214 yr carbon fibre wheels ok if no stones about.but if you were riding rocks wouldn't last five minutes

March 2, 201214 yr Interesting, but it does look rather like a capability excercise. I like to see people try new things, but I can see many more reasons to not persue this particular direction than I can to do so. Looking at the (very tidy) early gasser's back tyre, it doesn't look like these bikes are regularly competed! Certainly, eastern mud would stop the gasser for grip, and the Mont for swingarm clearance, never mind once the belt dragged it onto the pulleys! Like the master cylinders though...
March 2, 201214 yr You see that driveway..that one, there, with all the pebbles?...belt drives hate that 5h1t. You see that weight-saving flat tank?..me neither. I applaud the sentiment,not the execution. That's one really confused engineering project
March 2, 201214 yr That's one really confused engineering project Yep, to start a development, you first need a set of requirements. Not too sure exactly what those would have been!
March 2, 201214 yr Nice project,but pointless as a practical bike.How long would the spokes last when they are on the outside of the rims,and a stone caught up in the belt drive would soon wreck that
