Could you send me a picture (preferably the gear side so I can get a good estimate of the ratios)? I've already gotten the host bicycle back to a bicycle but if your bike has a better final ratio I might. At the moment I'm toying with turning the engine into a lamp, which would also look really cool and act as a hidden source of spare parts in the future.
I know just what you mean. I've had to peddle my bike home more than 5 miles a couple of times. And a few miles several other times.
No I've never tried. I don't think they would let you, but that's just my guess.
Yeah except in Dallas if you're not going downtown you're out of luck on the bus. Dallas has the stupidest bus system in the world. If you want to get anywhere, first you wait 30 minutes for the bus to get there. Then you ride for an hour to get downtown, then you transfer to a bus going near where you want to go. Then you ride another hour getting there. Then you walk the last mile from where the bus lets you off.
How much slack do you have? The way I would tighten it was to release the clutch and roll the bike forward until the engine pushed back. Then I'd raise the pulley on the tensioner. The other main thing is to have everything perfectly in line.
