Awesome system - looks like fun! What is that slotted aluminum stock called? Would love to build something like this.

Did you make the fork mounts? Do you sell them?

Thanks for the cool shots that you had to walk back to get the camera!

Which class and series of extruded aluminum are you using in this design?

Do you need another tester?

Woukd you be willing to release the specs of the rail adaptet you made? With links to parts etc

Only a few months later Dan is launching the X dome, great minds think alike

love this

This video has brought back memories of a time I spent at Cedar lake with my father over 50years ago. Thanks for posting

The first thing that came to my mind is that the tails of the bikes should be connected together with a rod to prevent torsion on the front forks.

the point in using rail is to reduce friction between the wheel and the track/road. Make a steel bicycle tire that hogs the rail making as little contact with the metal as possible.

I understand not wanting to sell a kit, but could you at least make the 3D printer files available?

Really enjoyed viewing from Australia 👌 Is there a Bear risk ? Keep up the good work

Very cool vid. I got into the habit of placing a stone under a wheel when stopped as often my rail-bike would roll off LOL, on a slope barely perceivable. So friction free 👌

Did 5 inch wheels give you a better ride, it seems like they should

Outstanding! Sooo cool!

Whats the thickness of the material? Thanks in advance :)

Very Cool. I have ordered up the caster and the universal mount. Here we have the Niles Canyon Railway that follows the original Transcontinental Railroad rail bed from Sunol to Niles, and eventually, to Pleasanton. They run steam locomotives too. One question - How do you lock down the front of the bike to the rear so that it does not pivot and the rear wheel stays on the track? Cheers 🍷

I rode mine 80 miles on the Adirondack Railway... a lifetime high point.... so beautiful, quiet. I felt like I was the only human on the planet.

ARe you selling these yet? I'm sure you've been asked before.

Looks like delrin would be perfect for the rollers.

How do you account for trains? Just keep a copy of their scheduling manifests?

Spectacular! What a great ride.

I would like one of those multi color handles too!

those bikes are too nice for that lol

Great idea. The ultralight crowd will love this concept. I have a bombproof 2 man freestanding msr tent wieghs 3 pounds.However you do it get out and backpack.

This is a gem. Hope to do the Pet with you soon!

Awesome trip. Looks like your weather was perfect for some fall camping.

smacked straight in my face in the first 3 seconds

Love the idea, cant figure out why its so expensive. At half the price i image this would be flying out the door.

What a great trip. Love the saw!.

First, brilliant work here! Dan D. is so approachable... have you considered offering your 3-D connector designs to him? My guess is if you did, and if he might sell them, a lot of people would buy a conversion kit. I just put my money down on the the new stand alone 1P, but I also own the 1P Solid... I would gladly convert and pay for this upgrade. The one I just reserved is great for summer / warm camping , but the 1P solid is almost a 4 season tent. This would apply to thousands of already sold tests out there... Thoughts? Very nice and thanks!! Tony, Carbondale, CO

Congratulations on your terrific invention! It will take you places!!!

Do you think there is a way to make it quieter over the track joints? It seems extremely annoying as is.

What about brakes ?

Engineering question. If you put guides on the front and back of the front wheel, can you eliminate the need for an outrigger?

My mom used to tell me alan you would forget your head if it wasn't tacked on.

Is there a source for abandon rail lines in the US?

Awesome device! There's a set of abandoned tracks from Brampton to Orangeville been meaning to explore..very weedy now but was hoping something like this could just push down the vegetation as you go?

That's pretty cool For the version 2.0 you should add have a rack to carry the front tires so you can hop off the tracks wherever you want.

Awesome. I would love to join you on a trip. I frequently ride 150 -200km on rail trails north of kingston.

Would be great if you share the rear wheel placement & running above the track?

How about rear wheel & tyre stability over the track?

I would like to build one of those for my wife and I do you have any diagrams or plan drawings or material lists that you would be willing to share? I love your design great job.

So glad you packed beer. We can be friends.

Im sure its been asked before, what keeps the back wheel on the track?

I never knew people cheer when a person was damn near dead 😒 some people dum

Let’s see how it does in 30mph wind?
