I like nerds but man is it out of touch/socially awkward to posture based on how often you use the front brake and link to a decades old blog post doing the same.
- bserge 5y agoCould use two of those to turn the wheel by the aluminum rim (same one used by the brakes). More power, more traction, less dirt.
- unraveller 5y agoi've seen someone attach a pulley to the side of a thin rim and use only 1 motor. It looks pretty solid [1]. Only thing stopping direct drive of the rim is probably tooth material strength/weight/cost. [1] https://youtu.be/Vc5kHuZoNoM https://youtu.be/Vc5kHuZoNoM
- isoskeles 5y agoWhy is it socially awkward to link to an old resource? As far as I can tell, Sheldon Brown's blog is a fairly well-known resource, and it is frequently linked on other biking forums.
- etskinner 5y agoMaybe the author was intending it as a PSA. I certainly learned how to brake better by reading what he linked to.
