Hey guys - I didn't know where to post this, but I assumed that this would probably be the best place.
Does anyone think it would be possible to build a hydraulic drive bike with two wheel drive? I was think that hydraulic drive probably has a ton of benefits - can rout the cables anywhere (opening up a load of chassis design steps), you could put hydraulic brakes into the drive, and I imagine it'd be really quiet.
Thing is, I assume it'd be heavier and less efficient, and when it fails, it'd make a huge mess. But are the negatives really that bad?
I also imagine a two wheel drive bike would come in useful for things like trial biking and singletrack.
Thoughts from any engineers?

accidentally closed the first one, so here we go again:
"On the look out for a new 55 or 56 square track frame - can't handle a top tube more than 56 unfortunately.
Also drilled, because, you know, I would ride without brakes but you know I'm scared ok.
something around the £200 mark would be great!" - mclemson1, earlier today

brugger. If this falls through, I'd be very interested.
