Hubless wheel of Billy Lane

[Paxmax]

a whole lot of work and money into something really stylish but not very functional and suffers a short and noisy lifespan. The only sustainable solution is a wheel levitating in a magnetic field.

What a shame he had to land himself in jail.

No chain please, only electricity everywhere.

10,000 dollar bearing, hmmm lets smash it!!

[kevchen1981]

So schön die Räder auch sind, wie sieht es denn mit Schräglage aus?

Oder sind die Räder nur zum geradeaus fahren?

These type of wheels aren't 'hubless', the inner ring is the hub. The hub on a standard wheel taken to its extremity ends up with what you see here.

[les4lifepaul]

@BrewPub I agree-I thought the same thing. It's still pretty awesome though.

You are correct. Sorry my bad. He was sued by a young woman who he had an accident with and she is now disabled because of it .

[us420freedom]

hey does anyone know wats up with the new bike shop tht is in the shop where choppers inc use to be.?

[hdcuz1]

Mike Brown was the original concept and builder of the hubless wheel. Billy Lane Just capilized on it. If you see how Billy talks throught his portion of the build his explanation of how he derived the formula to build the sprocket is pretty lame. Dont get me wrong I think Billy is one of the Best Frickin builders on the planet. but the hubless wheel was designed and built before Billy Lane by Mike Brown. Billy saw Mikes design and made it his own.

[us420freedom]

i sat on tht bike.!

[hdcuz1]

@us420freedom Check out hubless monster. That is Mike Brown riding his chopper.

Billy lane has closed shop from last reports after getting sued for a persons death by this persons family involving Billy Lane after alot of drinking was done. GOOGLE IT.

[us420freedom]

@hdcuz1 no shit bro. billy is a friend of the family. hes locked up in ap. about 3 miles from where im at. im tlkin about where his shop was. there is another custom chopper biz there now.

[hdcuz1]

@us420freedom Hey I'm not Bashing Billy, Like i said I think he is one of the best bike builders out there. Sometimes People get into shit that gets them where they are. If you know Billy then you know what he's capable of doing. Sometimes fame and fortune makes people feel invincible and sometimes people become reckless because of it. You can see that in Billy Because he is a core biker to the end and he messed up. I just hope he comes out of this by being a little more humbled. Take care US420

[us420freedom]

@hdcuz1 and he wasnt sued he was arrested for dui and killin the guy

[KyleCarrington]

It looks more suited to a vertical axis wind turbine.

[hdcuz1]

Billy Lane didn"t design this he stole it from the prearcher man who builds Bukes

[us420freedom]

@hdcuz1 wtf he did design tht bitch. billy built all his bikes along with nick and a few others.

[hdcuz1]

@us420freedom Ok he built it but he took the concept from the preacher man who he has done bike building in the past against.

[erichoward15]

Eh, say what you all will...Bottom line is you couldnt build it and it looks awesome.

[Heydudefaceman]

This bloke trying to sound clever is hilarious.

[magnusalexa]

a 10k bearing, fook you not gonna wanna go over bumps at speed, why not jus spend 10k on a conventional bike

[bonspeeds]

@magnusalexa Because that's not original

[Rapido3d]

I think I would have spent my money on an air bearing and compressor, no friction and no horrendous bearing noise plus a fair bit of change in my pocket, if your gonna show off a bit of finesse doesn't go amiss, rocket scientist indeed!

Cute :) jkjk SIIK
