???? HOW ITS BRAKING REAR????
it could still work with the suspension if the caliper for the chain brake was mounted to the swingarm which it is difficult to tell here, but still i agree this is not the hot setup for any full suspension bike

pretty sure he meant that the brake slows down rear tire through a chain and if that chain snaps you wouldn't be able to use the rear brake to slow down the wheel.... then you're screwed.

tottaly trash, i mean c´mon look where the rear disc is!don´t you think that thing gets hot?it´s to colse on your leg...
read the ridemonkey forum...the criator of the bike could explain.... search for gerboxx topic... the name is Metzy... this bike is ridden by James Dodd (NZ pro-rider)..

That is f*cking ugly, I like the drivetrain brake idea though, no more bent discs, just a little rotor burn though......
yeh can imagine my trousers getting caught in the disc...could be really nasty if you had one of those very sharp looking rotors that a2z do...
can imaging the chain snapping or something due to the forces acting on it from the brake, plus chain growth could also be a problem. just my thoughts though

chain growth? man the the chain goes between two sprockets, 1 at the wheel and one on the pivot, meaning it has a constant chain tension, think singlespeed
This is a bike?:O
its a brilliant design. since the rear pivot is high the rear wheel path is very vertical so moves away from obstacles unlike many convention ones which move up an forward towards the obstacle. this bike was tested riding full speed at a curb with the rear break slight on an they could literally not feel the curb

not a fan of the frame but by the luks of it the bottem tube doesnt seem strong enough, it problies is but ti just looks to thin
its a shame he took the photo on that side. its got the rear brake up by the top of the seat stays. keeps the rear wheel as light as possible. it does look a bit odd in real life
Did you know the man who races this bike?! did you ride the bike?! i took the photo and the information on the web (forum) ... but i would like to see more from that bike!
its hasnt been raced for some time. and not i didnt ride it. it was a 1 off i think made for a NZ rider "Dozzy"
this bike is a "strange" project... but it rolls fast?! sure.. this "Dozzy" should be fast too.. hehehe
