Several US custom bikes around with "invisible" wheels.
Wheels made out of bullet proof multi layer glass or similar material.
Ahhh...OK....weight not an issue, I presume......
Looks like a great design for a salt racer but.....It would redline first gear at 10kmh with that sprocket. Why do seppos go to extaordinary lengths to re-engineer things for the worse?Quote:

That is bloody clever!
Its American how can it possably be clever?
Because someone from Pomgolia did it first more than a decade ago.
And they call it new, how ironic.Quote:

Glass? I thought they were centre free running the same theory as this:

Well, that's pretty gay then.
One is a traditional wheel,
Just uses a clear see through material for the wheel.
Other has no centre hub.
Wheel is basically a huge bearing and
The bike grips the inner section.
The later normaly has a friction drive onto
the tyre by a smaller hidden wheel or roller.
not when compared to thisQuote:

Yeah - that's fuckin ghey alright.
I didn't mind the Ferrari body kits but that's just shite.
It's a helicopter rotor bearing they use, pioneered by billy lane, and his were chain driven not friction. It's an expensive way to look different.Quote:

That defines gay

That blue on the front wheel just doesnt work at all...
I dunno. It ties in nicely with the fork uppers.
a google image search lead me to to an article that says it has a 20 front /96 rear sprocket ratio.. and that he normaly takes off in 2nd..Quote:

Just because you can, does not mean you should
