    No Hands!

    Well done Ivan. It's just a Well done Ivan. It's just a matter of practice and it will become second nature. It actually is easier than on a DF. On private roads, I can ride figure 8's and even U turns hands free. I also can descend 2-5% grades at 30+KM/h hands free. With a bit of a...

      .. I'd like the chainstay Hello John, I respect your designs they are very well thought out. However I was wondering whether it is possible to actually have a dropout but move the pivot or rotation point and the RD hanger hanger to be just above the dropout as a press-fit or a...
