Wuhh? With 2 one ways only the outside wheel would over run the axle, OR, my mental picture is an abstraction/hallucination.
Or be like me and use a light and simple ATV axle for cheap and just deal with the odd tight turning... Looks like a good start, I'm gonna have to llok around & see what I can find. It seems to me that a pivot allowing some lean but going to to an axle that isnt solid mounted to the frame, then wouldnt it be hard to keep it standing up under way? The way I am thinking, the wheels on the bike need to be solid mounted to the frame, so that the frame & wheels lean together thru some mechanism. The ones Ive seen that have the front wheels lean are connected thru the steering arent they?I mean, they will lean only when the bars are turned & then only as much lean as would be proportionally "right" for any given amount of handlebar turn? I dont know, but where you are headed might need some work. Maybe the front wheel would be enough to keep the bike upright. I am sure there will be some well researched responses & Ill be getting an education on this.
Heres why I think the rear wheel needs to be somehow regulated in its lean. The way I see riding is that its a constant correction of a constant fall. Whether we feel it or are aware of it, we are gently movong side to side, just a bit,steering under the butt. This is why countersteering works, drive the front wheel away from the desired path, then turn the front back under ourselves in a coordinated way, that stands the bike back up. I can name at least 3 here who I believe have the "stuff" to either support or decisively smack my point down. I have to go out & get some stuff done, Its Pretty today! Gotta go round up some firewood. I hope this thread finds some interest & we are able to get input from the guru types.
