Schwinn Occ

[crossi]

Hey yall,
Got my engine in the mail yesterday and waiting to get my engine mount from barry once it is here the building and moddifying process may begin, but I have read about these sproket adapter for the schwinn occ, are they realy needed?, or is there ways to work without the adapter?, cause I dont realy want to keep spending money as postage to Australia isn't exactly cheap. I haven't started the build so I wouldn't know if there sproket wasnt fitting right.

Help would be appericiated, Im excited for the build

Contact Tony @ Rock Solid in Australia, his Ad is on the lower left of this page.

I recently sent him an OCC sprocket adapter. He has my 36T & 40T sprockets too. You'll want to use a 36T with the OCC if you expect a decent cruise speed.

Hello from another OCC builder/rider. I used the sprocket adapter from Manic Mechanic, now available from Pirate Cycles. Necessary? I say preferred because now the sprocket is driving the wheels hub, not the spokes. My first sprocket was a 44T and I agree on the limited top speed, although lots of low end torque. I have since ordered a 36T from Pirate Cycles to replace my 44T. Few other bikes when complete can look so much like a motorcycle than this Schwinn OCC!

So it is advised, but not necessary. Ill have a look around and make a decision, I might get a 36t later on.
