What does Ant have on his front wheel to keep it spinning?

i noticed it at the nsra event.the front wheel just keeps spinning..is it for a gyro effect to help balance?

Thanks
Steve

Top Secret Info= Split the front brake pads apart

If you attempt this be sure to pump the front brake inorder to gain brake pressure again....or else things could get real ugly.

He has a hamster that lives in his front wheel. The hamster is afraid of wheelies so it starts running every time he does one.

my boy 80 has no front rotors on his bike - that **** spins forever. Same effect as splittin ur pads. I always thought ANT had motors or some **** on that wheel.

Basicly just pry your brake pads apart and remove your dust
seals. This is no good for the street though. Remember not to
hit your front brakes after your done.

How do you split the pads? Maybe with 4 putty knives?

The hampster is scared of the KY Jelly because he knows what that leads to. That's why he runs like hell to get away.

it seems to me it has some sort of motorized setup on it.cause he would pull up a real slow wheelie but the front wheel would start getting faster and faster,then he would set it down at like 5 MPH and pick it right back up and the wheel would be spinning so fast you couldn't see the spokes..Whatever works i guess i was just curious..
