Random Lopery!

thirdraildesignlab posted a photo: A good dose of Pedros Degreaser and WD40 on these parts for the new build. Chain came off of Wrongbike, the Sugino 75 bottom bracket and spindle are from Mags at Team Hype (cup and cone) and the crankbolts and cog are from Ghostal. This fixed gear build features a custom-installed S&S coupler system, for maximum travel capabilities.Read the build logs and more on the Team Lope Tyre Clubbe site:www.teamlopetyreclubbe.com

spokeless bicycle 02172010 Remember that Hubless Bike Concept?

Every third concept bike rendering includes a rim-mounted roller as part of the drivetrain, and excludes a hub. I always laugh at the forces and friction in such a design.
Well, these Yale students built one, one way or another.
