chain drive to belt drive conversion

Someone said that the little clips that hold the throtle cable on Briggs engines work good for holding to the spokes.............Curt
 
Kestrel,
I just baling wire round the inside between the rim & the spokes. All
the force is in the direction of rotation; very little perpendicular to
the spokes, holds it just fine.

Probably not the best if you have a disk brake this setup...........Curt
 
The one in the build ( Poveyflats ) is a wizzer they come with screws and clamps. Can be bought at Simpson motor bikes about $39............Curt

Not sure how one would wire one on and stay put
 
Just like the clips that hold throtle cable to Briggs engines, a little flat clip with a hump that fits around the spokes and clamps to them..........Curt
 
Nice stance on that bike! Having a btr build going on myself and are in the making of the exact drivetrain you had in the beginning (briggs 5hp,beltdrive from clutch to centerhub and on right side ordinary chaindrive,rearhub is a surly mtb singlespeed.was it working at all or was it just at high speeds it got intresting?.building mine mostly for the looks but would be nice to have some function.must say your conversion looks spot on but i dont have enough claerence in the rear frame on mine.
 
Poverty,I don't know how I missed this, but I sure do like staring at your build... very pleasing to the eye. Well done, sir.
