GEAR

"Everyone asks me 'how it feels to fly.' It feels like riding in a high powered automobile, minus bumping over the rough roads, continually signaling to clear the way and keeping a watchful on the speedometer to see that you do not exceed the speed limit and provoke the wrath of the bicycle policeman or the covetous constable."
—-- Harriet Quimby.

The main gear is really a straightforward assembly job.

The inside of the tires and outside of the tubes were dusted with baby powder to ease friction when fitting. Common sense and a little care avoided tube pinches.

Cleveland brakes added to the main gear supporting bracket.

The tire was mounted on the rim, the bearings were packed, and the assembly put onto the axle.

Three views for future reference.

Couldn't resist a trip down memory lane to college hockey. (Concussion, cracked cheekbone, and a return to common sense. "You're here to study physics, not go crazy on the ice.")
