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

I remember seeing his lad race that a couple of times. Lovely engineering.

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.

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

Isn't it a Shimano hub mounted in the frame?
Not sure if I've read that somewhere or imagined it :lol:

Tah for that. That in itself is a major engineering challenge!
