Week 12 - 5/17/18 - Blog 2

We realized that we need to have a bigger sprocket on the bike so that it is geared for torque rather than speed. We had geared for speed only and it spun really quickly off of the ground, but once we put someone on it, it couldn't handle it. We do not have sprockets that are big enough and not enough time to to buy a new one online, so we are turning bike 1 into bike 2 and using the big gear that is already on the bike. This will allow it to be geared for torque and hopefully a successful run.
