What I'm trying to do is fit an 8-speed cassette hub with disc brake into a cruiser frame.
Cut the hub in half, narrow it, weld it back together and fit it into the narrow cruiser frame. Run the disc brake on the left and the engine/bicycle drive sprockets on the right. The disc brake adaptor will either be bolted onto the dropout or welded to the frame.
This is for a 6hp Robin engine on a Roadmaster cruiser frame. No muti-speeds, maybe a single engine sprocket/bicycle sprocket chained to an SBP setup at the bottom bracket.
Yes, I know that the pedalling ratio will be 'way off. Pedalling is just for starting off, if necessary.
Would it be better to simply pry/widen the steel frame?
Any thoughts?
