It's quite mesmerising how the chain slackens and ripples etc Like a really expensive lava lamp! Lol The sprocket does it for me, it rotates both ways  |

Think I saw a cyclist in a one frame, but he was gone so quickly I doubt he saw you ;-) Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk He saw me ok, when I turned round for another run he was waving in a not very friendly way  |

I can't get my head around why when accelerating the rear lifts up! I've know hey all do it but it just doesn't seem right?
Anyway brilliant footage and interesting to see how little the rear tyre moves actually :-)

Is it not the additional tension in the chain acting on the wheel above the pivot points?

Yes it is probably something to do with the position of the front sprocket, swing arm pivot and rear axle, and I'm not saying its bad just looks odd that's all:-)

Yep it don't make any sense does it, the pull on the top chain run from the motor should try to pull the wheel up as the chain goes tight which would compress the shock.
Maybe its because the driving force from the wheel is pushing forward and as its lower than the swingarm pivot it forces the pivot up.
If it could be reversed it would really help traction as at the moment it takes weight off the drive wheel.
PS... NO comment yet from indycylefi....I hope my effort was worth it and he's now happy that the tyre's not going to peel off the rim
