Right people im laying down a challenge and the game is this,
Turn your bike upside down put it in top gear spin the cranks as hard as you can then start the stop watch when the wheel stops turning stop the clock, then repeat this with the front wheel by grabbing it and spinning it as hard as you can !
Whoever's wheels spin the longest is the best
A couple of rules, NO ROAD BIIKES lol and no disconnecting the caliper
Remember if you cheat your results your only cheating yourself !!
State your front and rear times and what the bike/bikes are !!
I'll kick off with mine......
Kona dawgmatic 04
Front 1m33s
Rear 45s

C'mon geordiefreerider!!
Im gonna stick to the original idea just the times and what bike, to read what hubs/tyres/brakes/ everybody is running would take too long and take the fun out of it !! 0 -
4 days, 3 hours, 56 mins and 4 seconds for the rear.....front is still going. I obviously read your mind and started before you posted the challenge!No-one wanted to eat Patagonia Toothfish so they renamed it Chilean Sea Bass and now it's in danger of over fishing!0

Front wheel: 4 seconds..
I'm off to A&E to get my finger reattached
Next time choose a safer activity.. 0 -
haha, this is daft, but I REALLY want to do this when I get home! 0

Im undefeated so far - that means at this moment im the best !!!
I remember doing this with skateboard wheels when we were kids after we had sprayed a full tin of WD40 on the bearings ha ha !!0 -
I reckon tyres will play a very important part here - some are going to have far more air resistance than others.You only need two tools: WD40 and Duck Tape.
If it doesn't move and should, use the WD40.
If it shouldn't move and does, use the tape.0 -

Oh boy, all I want to do is get home now. 1 hour to go, she'll think i've gone mental......Scott Scale Custom

can i suggest that your unicycles wheel time counts for both front and back?Whenever I see an adult on a bicycle, I believe in the future of the human race.

so lapierre technic 400
front:2.38.1
rear:1.30.1I assume this is French petrol - be careful in reverse - the car will retreat rapidly at the least provocation.0 -
Naaaaah...
Unicycle counts as back wheel cause that is where the pedals are connected to innit
The unicycle's front "wheel" is the rider's flailing arms 0 -

You whopped my butt !! :shock:0 -
Got no fork at the moment, so cant really do it.
But surely it must depend on how hard you spin the front wheel, and how high your top gear is?0 -
rear wheel is 17 seconds
front wheel is 3minutes 48
carrera banshee x0 -
Damn it!
I just got 1m32 on the front! I even realligned my rubbing SLX for this!
I'm going to go back and try harder!!
Oh and it's an NS Society 0 -
only 1m40 front and 1m23 rear...
The wheels aren't in my Prophet at the moment... If I drive to the top of the moors and roll them back down the road... and I follow them in the car... does that count?0 -
Interesting. I would imagine those with well adjusted cup and cone hubs will spin longer than cartridge hubs.0

You reckon?supersonic wrote:Interesting. I would imagine those with well adjusted cup and cone hubs will spin longer than cartridge hubs.
I've got one bike with cones, and one with cartridges. I always though if you got a good cartridge bearing, it would be fine? Can't you get full complement cartridges?
Anyway, I just got home from work, so I'm too knackered right now.
I'm going to try tomorrow though.0 -
