I have decided to revive the clown bike. I'm not looking for a rack friction drive for the rear. I have had so much trouble with the chain drive that I hope to find an alternative. I do want the rack on the rear not the front. I just feel I would have more control of the bike. I think I can make the rack work on the twenty inch wheel.

Im going to have to keep an eye on the tires even if I do go friction drive. In my reading it seems that the knobby tires I have been running do not perform well with friction drive.
