rear brake stops the chain, witch stops rear wheel, snaped chain=no rear brake=big suprise crash...

im agreeing tbh, i think fixed gear is a no go on a dh bike

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

if you take out the rear swingarm and the gearbox malarky id love this bike

No chain... no brakes!

Hope the chain keeps in it´s place!

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.

That is f*cking ugly, I like the drivetrain brake idea though, no more bent discs, just a little rotor burn though......

flag rottenpeach (Mar 8, 2008 at 4:58)
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 Wink

flag jackhayward (May 28, 2008 at 5:07)
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

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

i bet that gear box acts like a great brake at full travel.........ground anchor style.

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
