two stroke cruiser

This is definately my favorite bike on this site! I have a couple questions. How do you get the derailer to work,is the gear the same as the chain? Would it work if I used a shock/spring suspension setup from a mountain bike in back? Thanks,

Thanks,I am starting to order some stuff and will try your design.Does it have to be spring loaded? Would it be better?

What kind of rear hub do I need to mount my disc brake and where do I find one?

I have called several bike shops and called a schwinn guy on ebay and still can't find a disc hub as wide as the original. Anyone know where I can find one?

the distance between those two sprockets might not need a tension device like illustrated in the picture. I raced motorcycles for years and if you watch flattrack racing or road racing those bikes do not put tension on their chains. Ive never had a chain come off. And you do find it necessary to use, put only a slightest tension on it. take care glenn

I finally put the a speedo on the cruiser and did a top speed run.
Cheers,
Matt.
