Default Re: chains chains everywhere a chain

Joe I have been thinking that as well. I'm sure that it may come to that and frankly except for the getting it in and out of the storage building it would be a pretty good compromise. The other downside I hear is that they handle like crap.

However it is definitely my next build I think. I can only imagine how terrible they would be to start from a stop sign on an uphill grade. I might go electric with a trike it would probably be easier. Just put a 250 watt friction drive on each wheel. I happen to have the motors laying around right now.

By the way all the old chain that came from the junk bikes I have been buying is so rotten (rusted) that I can't get a clean break. I'm going to buy one of those five dollar chains at wally mart when I go next.

anybody got a good plan to mount a china girl engine on a trike.
