Tight fit (real tight!) Pulse by Kettler comfort bike-Sick Shifter Kit

So you didn't use the supplied SBP rear mount? I don't see it or the clamps. If not, watch out for engine twist. Although the chain tensioner should help.

Pablo, There wasn't room for the SBP engine mount. The engine is almost to the seat tube. I cut the original mount down to 1/8" probably. The front mount must hold more than its share to keep the engine from twisting. It hasn't moved. I also think the chain tensioner helps. It sure makes it easier to adjust the chain. There is only about 1/16" clearance between the head pipe and the frame. It has never touched.

jerseykat, I made the plate that fits to the engine from 1"X 1/4" steel. I bored the holes with a drill press. The tube is copper. It is refrigeration tubing not plumbing. They are different iszes. I'm not sure what they call the size but it is 5/8" od or close to it. You can buy at a heat and air supplier. I soldered the tube in the steel plate. I also soldered the brace to the tube. I bent a long piece of tubing by hand then cut it off.

Very nice ride

Beautiful bike! Nice job overcoming the various challenges. Congrats on reaping the rewards!

i am thinking about getting a shifter kit. does it make the bike ride smoother? better acceleration? is it worth the money and time to install it? i am not having any problems with the stock chain drive now but i cant help but to foresee problems in the future and god forbid there is a problem while i am 10-15 miles from home.

Absolutely yes to all your questions. I wouldn't build a single speed bike for myself any more. This is my second shifter kit. It is a blast shifting gears!
