Does no one notice the bike does not have any torsional strength whatsoever?

No one watches Furze for good ideas, he's just hilarious to watch fucking around. I would love to see an interview with his neighbors.

He explicitly calls it out as a problem (among other things) so... No?

It's just a bit of fun

that’s why he used tapered bearings…

Tapered roller bearings (TRBs) are *versatile bearings with angled rollers and races, designed to handle heavy combined radial (sideways) and axial (thrust) loads

That's smart! But I think it is only keeping the joint smooth when there is a twisting torque? It doesn't really help with the torsional stiffness
