    This is what I would call multi-tasking. I wonder how you lube the chain.

    O ring chains don't require lubing, just a regular cleaning.

    Actually oil is required otherwise you've got a dry chain running over a dry sprocket..fascinating sprotor....it looks trick!

    Another classic case of form over function.Sculpture not a vehicle.
    Oh well takes all kinds.
    'Sprotor' great word.

    Gee; that technology looks familiar. My kids' 5hp MINIBIKE has a sprocket-grabber brake. I'll bet the little bike in the pic has one too.

    Is the one on the show bike mechanical too? I don't see any sign of a line and the caliper doesn't look big enough...

    I don't know if it's mechanical or hydraulic. That bike is there fairly often. I'll check it out closer next time I see it.
