forgive me if this is stupid but im not exactly sure of what each part on the bike will do. Like what does the jackshaft do? and am I supposed to keep the gears my bike already has if I have the jackshaft? also I started taking apart the bike to get started. I took off both wheels and I ordered a new set of wheels but im not sure how to take off the brakes as I wanna replace both of them. actually because I want a v brake in the back i might not need to replace the one in the back i think? not sure. heres my plan so far
1. take off almost everything from the frame, wheels, shifter, derailleur, grips, gears, pedals, brakes
2. replace the wheels with ones with much thicker spokes and heavy duty tires and such, also replace the front fork with a suspension
3. replace the front brake with the disc brake ive chosen and replace the brake pads of the rear brake
4. prep the engine, take off the stock muffler and air filter and replace them with lower profile parts, also get a new gas tank and move it to the top (already done except the tank is on the way, ive checked and the engine fits in the frame)
5. order the engine mount and transmission, then mount the engine
6. ehhhhh? this is where im unsure of what to do
kind of threw myself into this project so all advice is very much appreciated
