4G Huffy Cranbrook

My Cranbrook is now 4G equipped. Originally had a 56t sprocket which climbed good but slow. Now the cranbrook has a 48t. Still climbs good and top speed is almost 29mph. Bike does what i want it to. 200+ trouble free miles since the installation of the 4G. The Grubee HD axle is great. I have a manic mechanic worksman wheel [11gauge] with the manic sprocket adapter that is on the way. At last a dependable motoredbike.

For acceleration, she is great, hits up to 31 MPH easily and sometimes can hit up to 34 MPH on the flat with no head wind. Take off is a little bog down if taking off from standstill with no pedalling at all but nothing major.
The 4G belt drive is great. Belt cannot slip off unless excessively loose. Too tight and it will snap. Just add 4mm slack in middle off belt with firm thumb pressure, similar to timing belt.
As for bearings, I never had a problem, I just replaced the 11 tooth free wheel that drives the chain after 3000 kms as it had excessive side play and was noisy.
The bellhousing that the clutch grabs onto snapped at the weld was poorly welded, more like tacked on in two places so I ran a mig all around without warping it.

As for the belt cover, I put locktite on the screws and it never comes undone.

Thats nice I like it. I really want to place a front shock on my Cranbrook as well so it's not so bumpy. How much dose the shock help?

Shock helps a lot

 

[wog383]

yeah, you need front shocks when going fast. I had a 2 stroke before the bike I have now and I used to get sore wrists after 20 mins due to the harshness. Front shock is a must have.
