I'm building a quad recumbent. I'm a big guy so I need the four wheels. I
want something I can have fun on.
I'm looking into differentials but haven't really seen any diagrams or
good pictures. I see alot of trikes just drive
one side. If I can't get one that's within my budget then my idea is to
attach a cassette to a jack shaft and put
sprokets on the ends then have chains go back to regular wheels in the
back. I know this bike is going to be heavy
I'm not concerned right now with that. Any ideas about this would be
appreciated.

Well, Hells Bells, why don't you get a name that the rest of us can live
with. You are not someone with a name like "someone" - you are no one. Get
yourself off to the graveyard and die, why don't you?

All quad recumbents are totally ridiculous. They are around strictly for the
"Freds" in this world. Are you a Fred?

Get yourself a nice trike and be done with it. The only way a quad makes any
sense at all is if you mount a motor on it, at which point you no longer
have a bike. You then have a motor vehicle.

By the way, I HATE all motor vehicles and I hope the price of gas goes to
$20. a gallon. That is what it will take for all the idiots in this world to
abandon their g.d. motor vehicles once and for all.
