The pipe? The gears? Or maybe the clutch cover?

the padding you put on the cover. i love the design on the drive system you all are designing. i can't wait to here more about it. i am finally getting an understanding on how it works

That is so cool Pablo...keep up the good work and don't get discouraged. Depending on pricing I will probably want one. Do you have any performance firgures yet ?

Thanks - Ghost0 is doing the grunt and brain work. I'm doing the 1/2 brain work (well suited), carrying the worry, sweating the BB's, and somehow coming up with the front money. Not discouraged, too stupid for that. We've made it this far and still there are some decent hurdles. Next I'm getting one on my bike......we are having a board meeting next Saturday.

One thing I think I would like is the fact that after getting the bike up to speed you can let off the throttle and coast with no drag. Another thing is the mileage is going to go way up, no more spinning the engine high, going slow. Have fun, Dave

Indeed - if you have low enough gearing taking off with the clutch may be possible as well.

Is anyone besides me having trouble showing the sponsors and the posts with out having to arrow horizonaly in order to read the entire posts? If it is just me, what do I need to do?
Thanks

Works fine for me. (It was screwy before cruiser fixed it though). Try the usual, like clearing your cache.

I don't know what happened. It is working fine now. I didn't do antything different.

HI All,

OK, OK....How did this get past me??....Wow, I love the Jackshaft!!!....Very clever mounting!....Beats anything I could come up with...Again Wow!

Hey just a thought since you were concerned with the cost of the front freewheeling Crank system and there was some concern with the rear derailleur living behind such a powered setup.....How about using a Nuvinci Hub?.....While I do not currently carry them....the prices on the hubs have been dropping....I don't know how much the front freewheeling chainrings/crank will go for but maybe the NuVinci could take care of both things at once?....

Andrew

PS - In case you didn't get it before....WOW on the great jackshaft mount! ;-)
