Wow I had no idea this was your full time ride. If that's still the case I would recomend a pair of schwalbe http://www.everybicycletire.com/Sho...0-schwalbe-marathon-plus-tour-hs-404-559.aspx (this site posted just as an example) , a Shimano dynamo lighting system with pair of mueler lights so you don't have to totally rely on batt lighting.

schwalbe is on the list for sure augi has set they are nice i am runing a set of heng shin [or somthing like that]kevlar beltet knoby's for now with the wet and muddy season my next set is a pair of marathon's for sure:helmet: as far as the lighting goes i just remeber to plug the battery in every night seems to be the most reliable system i've had the generaters burn out quikly at these speeds and lighting is not that great the 12v 55wt halogen head light i got rocks 12 8a bettery last for about hour wich is plenty enough to get hone at after dark

I don't know what else you could do to that bike to make reliable. I notice one of your GEBE friends has a chinese motors on bike. How does it stack up to the Tanaka?

i have a 49cc chinese first of it mixes 20-1 so that shows the quality but the tourq is awesome and seen a top speed of 38.4 then it throws out of balance and slows back down its funny ive only got 70 or so miles on it and now dont how long it will last lol but it is fun i'm running the tanaka most of time just so i know i will get there and back pluss the 49 needs a new jug intake threads are gone and the intake is craked love that quality

Question about GEBE

I just installed my GEBE system out last night and took it for a 20 mile test drive today. I really like it over all. Here is my question and pardon me for my elementary terminology. The lever that engages and disengages the belt drive - when it is engaged and I am riding, it tends to bounce around. Even on a level surface with a constant throttle, the tension roller bounces up and down about 1/2" creating a feeling like one is going over little bumps. Is this normal? If not, how do I correct it?

While riding, I can hold the lever to keep the tension roller in place and all is good.

Thanks for the help.

Call Dennis and Julia and they can give you better advice than me, otherwise Check to see if the ring is properly centered. I did not have to install the drive ring because I bought the kit with the 105G velocity rim. (Take my advice buy the 105G rim and you will never be sorry.)

I will call them today. But I am using the rim from Golden Eagle so I hope that is not the cause.
