Loved that he had to buy an extra wheel to use the “half” that broke from the original… besides, I think that you need a little bit more then a half rim on each axle to make this project work properly.

Actually this is even cooler when applied to multi-wheel vehicles – imagine the next time you’re passing a 40T articulated lorry on the motorway and all its wheels are doing that, or waiting at the platform when the train pulls in

It’s just my guess but I don’t believe the creator is pretending to come up with a solution for preventing the front wheel breaking but just simply using a unique solution to use the “broken” part. It may be unrealistic, inefficient, design for a bike but it’s definitely creative and pretty cool.

Nice. It should in theory be possible to extend this genius-insanity to the front wheel too with a double front fork. A way to drive the wheels together, so they stay in synch, yet still have the necessary trail angle for steering – it’s do-able although less easy with chains and sprockets.

Something to mention about the flaws of this bike is if the second chain that connects two halves Gets intrupted by any object then the wheel are going to bump every round.

I love the fact that he probably spent more money, time, and effort to make this innovation when he could just buy a new wheel.
