This is definately my favorite bike on this site! I have a couple questions. How do you get the derailer to work,is the gear the same as the chain? Would it work if I used a shock/spring suspension setup from a mountain bike in back? Thanks,
cool....im doin a jackshaft the same way....reverse dropouts and a hub......nice jobjunkyard the bushings are from a car suspension shop, just get some that are the same diameter as bike frame tube and buy bolts that fit inside the bush.
fm2200 there is no need to brace the motor as it doesn't move. This is because the two mounts are at an angle to each other.
Here are some photos of my jackshaft and three speed set up.
Works really well, great take off and nice low revs at cruise. It runs really quietly at a 40kmh cruise.
Cheers,
Matt.
