I ran across this Youtube video.

The dual chains caught my eye. It appears to be a bicycle aimed at the
third world market. Simple, robust and easy to use and fix and a nice low gear.

I hope they put "slime" in the tubes then....

CalFee bikes is located near me and he made bikes out of bamboo for locally built cheap transportation for the masses...although some of his stuff is pretty pricey for US consumption.

Maybe this is ruggeder than the old Bendix two speed hub, but it still does utilize a two speed hub. They have a repair and distribution network, apparently. So I wish them well.

I guess really robust tyres! I assume that sealant in tubes would have same effect as in tyres ie needs replacement every so often.

some interesting stuff up there and does a like a geek out on such stuff.

Did you notice his sly dig about marketing ie that SRAM engineers ie no marketing department!
