I finally added some pictures of how the crabcycle was made…
Tom is no artist when it comes to drawing but he makes up for it with the real thing.
I have not uploaded how the frame was made… he has some special tools for bending steel. Also have some other pictures… I’ll try to update it when I get a chance.
Jerrick: It rides real smooth but I twist a lot when I ride especially from starting position. I have worn out a few tires already… though I now have a 17 tooth sprocket on the wheel (the gear box has a 16 tooth sprocket) so I am wearing out the tire evenly now.
It took me about 3 months to learn from a tall fence… for comparison it took me 1 month to ride double wheel.
The idle feels like a rola bola with the right pedal down. With the left pedal down it just feels wrong. I still have not mastered the idle yet.
Once I master the crab cycle (to me that means able to mount, idle while juggling clubs, and pedal backwards), I’ll adjust the clamps so when you pedal forwards you go right… By then I’ll be worse than the first time I tried it.
