Are you still riding on old-fashioned half-inch-pitch chain and sprocket, like they used to use in the last century? No wonder you're slow! Time to get with it! Unless you're a reactionary troglodyte retrogrouch, you NEED Nanodrive, the first 21st century drive train system! Get rid of that obsolete junk!

What does that monospoke wheelset weigh in at? More importantly, the photo resolves the question of the ages. Clearly the the wheel is "hanging" from the spoke, not standing on it! Art Harris Sheldon's "Citroen" monospoke wheel does indeed hang from the spoke. The tension in the spoke is equal to the weight that the wheel supports. Until the wheel rotates, that is. At that point the hub is no longer in the center of the wheel, at which point it is no longer a wheel, by definition. But is way light, way cool, and I expect to see them on eBay in short order. I occurs to me that a monospoke wheel, just like Citroen's steering wheel, could be built. But it not function in the way that a tensioned-wire spoke wheel does. The single spoke would be an unsupported beam and would be much heavier than the bike and rider it carries to stay roughly round in use. Not so kewl. -- Ted Bennett Portland OR |
