September 9, 20169 yr that front wheel motor belongs in the binWell it's pretty essential as it stabilisera the front Wheel because of the gyro effect. Btw the northernmost wch point scoring rider (well could be a fin or norwegian up there) lasse holmberg Hudik (wch venue 86 and 93) tried to wheelie round a 4km mx Course with his yam ty but failed as his front Wheel moto gave up. Could be strong ofc. Btw there's a rumour about Toni bou riding down from the top of the ski slopes of rabassa to sån Julia in andorra on the front Wheel if dougie succedes and prolly 2 3 Times to match the distance. He wanted to frontwheely down Mount Everest first but his employee montesa thought is was to risky and expensive...??Btw my pad is rubbish translation evert singel word to swenglish ?
September 9, 20169 yr I can't be the only one that would have preferred to just see how far he can wheelie a stock bike...
September 9, 20169 yr I would have loved to see how far he could have gone as well... Though I don't blame him/them for the custome setup to make it the whole way.

I can wheelie until my arms or lower back are too sore and have no trouble when the front wheel stops. Just means turning using pegs instead of the bars.
September 13, 20169 yr I hope you are not denying the laws of physics like the gyro effect? If the engine in the front wheel wouldn't help, they wouldn't bother me thinks.
September 14, 20169 yr Not at all. Of course it helps, it's just stupid and unnecessary. They may as well add one of those dumb craig jones wheelie school bars so he can't loop out. After that they could look into installing some kind of third wheel so he doesn't need to wheelie at all.
September 14, 20169 yr Not really. I can wheelie until my arms or lower back are too sore and have no trouble when the front wheel stops. Just means turning using pegs instead of the bars. How long is that though 2 hrs?
September 14, 20169 yr Who's up for a "proper" wheelie record? Does that even exist? And is it also improper to add an extra fuel tank? Otherwise "proper" trial bikes wouldn't even have a chance to begin with. The same goes for the adaptation of the gearbox. I'm just saying, the one who actually is setting a record, also get's to shoose the conditions (that have been previously agreed up on) he want's to abide by. Meanwhile, here's another "cheater". He did for 200 miles. Respect! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oARCf0VAGj0 Edited September 14, 20169 yr by guys
September 14, 20169 yr But, it's a proper wheely. but can anybody do a proper wheelie for 2 hrs on a std trials bike??
September 14, 20169 yr but can anybody do a proper wheelie for 2 hrs on a std trials bike?? Doesn't look like it ! Edited September 14, 20169 yr by b40rt
September 14, 20169 yr but can anybody do a proper wheelie for 2 hrs on a std trials bike??Why don't you try jimmyl, my guess would be 10 mins maximum for us mere mortals, And as for 'on a standard bike' unless you rigged up some sort of refuelling meathod to top up a tank that would only take you about a third of the a lap per fill, your not going the distance.Wish Doug the best of luck with it though.
