also - the user in the other forum that had the slippage with the ridley mount had it on a Red Baron which I belive has the alum frame. Not sure why that would cause any issues above and beyond the steel fram??
Here is the post:
the ridley mount was ok... it did reduce vibrations significantly. the problem with the front ridley mount is that it is designed to be used in conjunction with the rear ridly mount. since i used the sick bikes jackshaft.... i couldnt use the rear ridly mount. this caused the engine to pitch left under heavy throttle or load. the engine always lined up center left which caused it to pull the chain slightly left... combine that with a hub that likes to pull forwards under heavy load and you get a frustrating condition that pulls the chain off under heavy acceleration.
long story short... if you want to run the chain directly to the back wheel, then the set of ridly mounts would be the best choice. if you want to run a sick bikes jackshaft and nuvinci hub combination, go with the sick bikes universal front mount.
