Finally riding a big boys bike
Worlds Fastest Stingray has to be a complete stock Stingray or it just makes no sense. if all that remains is the frame you may as well put it in the trunk of a Bonneville streamliner and go 400 MPH.
I doubt a stock coaster brake Stingray will do over 40 with a full size adult on it.
Even at Bonneville they have lots of different classes for the different amounts of modification.
On any completely stock Stingray the gearing would limit the top speed to less than 30 on flat ground. Any faster and you're depending on going downhill and letting gravity make you go faster. Which brings us to a gravity powered competition.
Going any faster than 30 on a completely stock stingray down a big hill and you're going to run into serious safety and stability issues.
I thought a happy medium would be if the parameters could be set so that the bike could compete in Gravity Bike events, since it's the only speed record bicycle competition for 20" bicycles.
At this point I think I'm the only one planning on competing, so for now I'll build for the rules above. I think it'll be fun.
