MORNE Posted October 17, 2019 Posted October 17, 2019 https://bikerumor.com/2016/10/11/denise-ib16-close-up-with-denise-muellers-record-setting-project-speed-bike/ article about the bike. crazy stuff. wheelsize was determine around what was available in motorbike tires as no bicycle tire is rated for those speeds (±240kph). So they had to make a custom 17" rim to fit a 17" motorcycle tire. also strength, centre of gravity, frame design and 425 gear inches....as in bike travels ±40m per 1 rev of crank. imagine getting that rolling in 29" lol
