Functional bikes. Not Porn not Anti

Is that a FXE frame?

Yep.

tokyo build it for you?
and get a white rolls, white leather is far more functional

Nah, just popped a spare Tokyo sticker on.

FBNPNA? Forum Bike Nerds _ _ _ ?

1x9 was just related to the fact that the terrain isn't that hilly (I usually manage with an old SS) and I wouldn't be going fast so I thought 9 gears in a wide range would be enough. Especially if it was a more upright cruising and occasional halling bike. 2x9 was based on the idea of having a semi-compact double (something like 48t / 32t or 34t) and using it more for longer distance riding. For something like the Lava Dome which I reckon could take 650B 38mm tyres I wouldn't have thought you require much different gearing to a road bike. I haven't working out the difference in circumference, but from memory I thought a 700c 23mm was only a little bigger than a 650b in 38mm.

Cheers! And FBNPNA refers to this thread ;)

Get a lava dome they're amazing! I wish I'd kept all the others I've had, not just the 93' on the previous page. I'd have a nice collection by now!

Cool :)

Should the rear tyre on the bike section of that have a fatter tyre? If the trailer was fully loaded

^^ awesome addition 'loin. Any info? It's rocking Di2?

the Di2 runs off the dynamo!

all this work and then brakes like that...

and that kick stand is just too stupid.

The stand would be neat if the pedal didn't have to come off.

Would be cool if they could link up an additional brake for the trailer.
Also if it's custom built then why not lower the cargo on the trailer?

It's all very pretty but could be a lot more practical imo

This one has got my audax senses a tingling though

when ed sees this...

This framebuilder is fan-fucking-tastic! Want!!

Wouldn't work in practise, especially with the variation in weight.

Imaging what would happen if you brake gently in a curve unladen.

Because fuck speedbump.

It should, the bigger tyres would provided a lots more suspension, the original Goeland trailer even have suspension as well as wider tyres;

Brakes are Dura Ace centerpull, and they're very powerful;

I think the eggbeater have those EZY adaptor that allowed you to removed the pedals without tools.

Eggbeater however can >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

You'd disengage the brake if it was unladen. A quick release linkage wouldn't be that difficult to fabricate. Adjusting the force would be fairly easy.

Really like this, my only regret is not having a pump pegs for the Lezyne road drive.

Remember, even when fully laden, it's never going to be as heavy as a person on a bicycle, and you can still lock the real wheels of your bicycle easily on a descent.

I'm sure there's a reason why a lots of single wheel trailer manufacturer don't put a brake on it.

I loved the steerer lock;

Interesting location for the rear light

Did a search for a single wheel trailer, saw this awesome motorcycles trailer;

The steerer lock is very cool.

One thing I just thought is why not have a dyno hub on the trailer and then you can have another rear light on the trailer itself.

That's a very good idea actually.
