@dx@agegamon The Hase Pino tandem has a massive set of chains because the frame extends in two places. One side of the bike works like a giant derailleur, where the chain may double back almost 3 feet to soak up the slack when the frame is compressed.
@markstos@dx@agegamon 😂 this kind of thing has me thinking I should just have the kid crank/treddle a generator rather than try to get their power there mechanically
@markstos @agegamon Holy chain length, Batman! That might win for longest chain I’ve ever seen, and I’ve seen some long ones
