Seriously, other than the technical challenge, what's the point? You break a front wheel by hitting a curb, and the solution is to swap the front and rear wheels, sacrifice another (third) wheel to get two halves, and weld/fab an additional rear triangle to create a long wheelbase bicycle? That's a lot of effort to answer a question no one ever asked. What am I missing?
That was what I thought. I thought the video was about "Crud, I broke my front wheel, how can I make this different so that won't happen again?"

But I guess it was "Crud, I broke my front wheel, what can I do with the other half of that wheel?"

Weird video, and seems like it would very much change the dynamics of the bike. Interesting though in a "why did he do that" kind of way.
