The Feelyx Flyer

[JohnThomas Sorrels]

Very nice build so far. Do you think you might have some chain tension issues with where the rear triangle pivot point is at? I noticed that on the cyclone, the pivot runs through the same axis as the secondary crank so there is no change in chain length as the suspension pivots. I guess you could use a spring tensioner to take up slack throughout the suspension travel.

Thanks, I was going to build a larger derailuer type system for the chain from the jack shaft to the wheel.... but... with the price drop on these engine's to 1k, http://www.ebay.com/itm/251067193240?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649
I am contemplating an engine change, but will have to stretch the frame 2 more inches.

Also Hank Young used the same rear suspension for his entry into the Biker Build-Off show with his boardtrack styled build.

Very cool and unique bike Feelyx, can't wait to see more.

Thanks!
