I can't see any reason for it

Not liking it myself.......don't get the double drive thing or the all black tyres. Other than those its a nice frame

but how does it work

Same as any bike with just one chainwheel, it just has two............................for some reason $:-\$

BENDYCAT ELEVENTEEN · « **Reply #6 on:** December 24, 2010, 06:47 PM »

so the rear hub has two freewheels that run in the same direction and not like a flip flop hub that needs to be on the right side !

you see my point chris ?

freewheel would have to be lhd specific,
i know they made them in the 90's/00's but the one on there would be way early!

i didnt know they made them back in the 80's, maybe it was a custom made job, not easy to make a freewheel though

cool bike, nice to see something different come up

the rear hub must of been a kit that came with the cranks originally, by the description the owner has given! same make as the cranks!

Special hub, came with the cranks, something along the lines of 500 or so made.

All remain unanswered, especially WHY?

The weight disadvantage on the rotational mass would seem to negate any potential advantage you could gain on a BMX track (being a sprint race in effect).

i suppose if one chain snaps, at least you can carry on!
