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 :shocked:


cool bike, nice to see something different come up :smitten:

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?  ;D  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).

For 1980 built frame, looks well ahead of its time though.

I've snaped so many chains cranking it hard  :P  ::)   that I dunno, seems like a good idea to me to use two chains, but erm don't actually think it would make you any faster.
