Hi, all
I have a home made friction drive. Before I added a bungee cord to help hold the rack down (and the spindle against the tire), my top speed was about 25 mph and going up hills was weak and slow.
After I added a bungee cord, my top speed is 30 mph and it goes up hill much better.
The bungee cord also puts stress on the frame and engine in my home made contraption but, so far, with over 150 miles, mine is still holding together and running.
I thought I should mention this in case anyone is wondering.
