I don't have any pics of the current configurations whiich have evolved from
this earlier prototype pictured. the shown setup worked pretty well with spds
to 33mph, but didn't have as much low end as I'd like for the trailer. The sheave
here is from a 20" wheel. This bike now has the sheave from a 24" whl, a more
precisely aligned Staton fric channel, and an HS 142 with 1 gal tank.
Even though I got the roller to work pretty well, it's just too wet here for
friction to be practical. Rollers either get coated with oily exhaust residue
or clogged up with muck.
