 Re: Deacon's Bike
For not this project is a bust. I can't get the drive wheel tight enough to drag start or to push the rear tire. It has to do with supporting the free side of the friction drive. I have everything else ready, just have to figure out a drive assembly that works. With a wheel supported on just one side the motor just moves down at a screwy angle it doesn't get tight on the wheel..
Ive got an idea all of a sudden. Since that peg has a mountain bike axle thread on the side away from the engine I guess I need to get a mtb wheel assemby. screw the axle into the peg, then use the bearings and assembly to anchor the off motor side of the drive. Sounds complicated I might just keep thinking on this. I have the bike and a working motor it's just a matter of time before I figure it out. Too bad norman or joe isnt around to figure it out for me. |
