I've watched a few of his motorbike videos - very interesting - Thought this might interest one or two on here.

Re: Millyard DH bike
I remember seeing his lad race that a couple of times. Lovely engineering.
May the bridges you burn light your way

Re: Millyard DH bike
I noticed he doesn't say much on the design of the gearbox either in this film or one of his earlier ones that I could see. Wonder if this is deliberate to get some interest from one of the manus?
Kind of makes me think that that's how all bikes should be, chain nicely out of the glop and easy wheel removal.

Re: Millyard DH bike
Apologies, i obviously saw his lad race a previous version. Hadn't realised he'd built another.

Not sure if I've read that somewhere or imagined it

Tah for that. That in itself is a major engineering challenge!techno wrote: ↑Sun Oct 25, 2020 1:05 amIsn't it a Shimano hub mounted in the frame?htrider wrote: ↑Sat Oct 24, 2020 8:12 pm
