Re: Mounting A 44T HT Sprocket On The Front Wheel
Okay Bikeguy, I'll try to mount it myself.
ebmvegan, I'll be using two separate throttle controls. No need to synchronize engines rpm. "Mr. Hyde" runs well with a 1.25" friction roller up front and a 1.50 friction roller in the rear. No problems whatsoever with these independent engines. The front engine supplies the low end and midrange, and the rear engine supplies a little low end, some midrange and all of the top end. At 25mph, the front engine reverts to idle while the rear engine screams to redline.
I'll be installing a 10-tooth jackshaft/44-tooth(4.4:1) front sprocket up front, and the rear wheel has a 36-tooth(3.6:1) rear sprocket. So the front will peak at maybe 30 mph and the rear engine takes over to redline at 38mph.
Later on, I might use a 12-tooth jackshaft/44-tooth sprocket, which would factor down to the same as a 10-tooth/37-tooth drive(3.67:1)
Then both engines will supply identical power throughout all ranges, even at redline.
