That bike is unsafe to ride with the frame cut like that. The reinforcement you did is nowhere near adequate. I would have instead constructed a jackshaft so that the chain would clear the frame.I am ordering a wide crank pedal set, just trying to figure out which way i wanna go, bent cranks or long shaft etc.................so no, not now, i just use them as a rear brake. I had to cut the rear frame tube to allow the chain to fit thru. If you look close you can see where i used 1" aluminum square tube to brace where i cut it, right behind the lock pouch on the left side.
A Jackshaft would not have made a difference, there is simply not enough room there either way.That bike is unsafe to ride with the frame cut like that. The reinforcement you did is nowhere near adequate. I would have instead constructed a jackshaft so that the chain would clear the frame.
I can guarantee that I could have gotten a jackshaft to work. But either way, the bike is unsafe and should not be ridden in it's current condition.A Jackshaft would not have made a difference, there is simply not enough room there either way.
We're just trying to keep you from killing yourself.This is the most negative forum i have ever been on.................
