I don't think anybody has made a hubless anything work well. Many have tried. They offer theoretical advantages which are alway defeated by friction.
My mates track bike (and by no means a modern one, it's a 1950s Flying Scot) can be sat upside down and the front wheel spun. You can go for a cuppa and it will still be spinning when you get back. It has bamboo rims. ____________________ “Rule one: Always stick around for one more drink. That's when things happen. That's when you find out everything you want to know.”
I did the 2010 Round Britain Rally on my 350 Bullet. 89 landmarks, 3 months, 9,500 miles. |

The bike is an art piece but it seemed to work fairly well. ____________________ Husqvarna Vitpilen 401, Yamaha XSR700, Honda Rebel, Yamaha DT175, Suzuki SV650 (loan) Fazer 600, Keeway Superlight 125, 50cc turd scooter |
