Olá, grande maquina....... com motor fica maravilhosa , mas na minha opinião fazia a montagem com shifter kit , assim só fica com uma transmissão e o tensor das velocidades resolve o problema da suspensãoI like the bike and it's rear suspension, but was wondering if it might cause chain tensioning problems.
Thanks.
Whats a BB adapter ?If that sweet bike had gears I'm thinking a shift kit would be real nice....needs pedals though. And a BB adapter.
BB = Bottom BracketWhats a BB adapter ?
BB = Bottom Bracket
BB adapter allows use of a BB cartridge (or 3 piece set up) for the Shift Kit in that single crank BB.
Being as this is his first build and a single speed at that, why is everyone suggesting a shift kit for this build?

I realize that Pablo and was certainly not aiming at you. I dig your shift kit and many of your products so please don't think this was posted as a dig at you.Actually mine was just a passing comment....
It was the shift kit suggestion that had me confused, I could not see the relevance and thought I mut be missing something. I had worked out even before I started the thread that a spring loaded tensioner would take up any slack, but being a complete newb to motorised bikes I don't even know if they are available.And all of this may also be of no use if there is a pivot in front of the BB....as you can see the BB sits behind the seat tube and downtube junction. Unless of course you know this bike and that it will accept a shift kit with these little subtleties.
Being as this is his first build and a single speed at that, why is everyone suggesting a shift kit for this build? If the chain tension becomes a problem, I would first suggest a spring loaded chain tensioner....not a shift kit.
OP's original question:"Can I fit an engine in this frame ?" No offence to anyone here, but hey?
My 2 cents and nothing more. Build it!
