CVT CVT's and Comet drivelines

"eaten by robots" lol......

YEAH, HE's the one!!!

Thanks CBRobots,
I'm sure I could have searched for your posts but was too lazy I guess.
I have absorbed much from you (and fellow gopeders) on these things. Any new developments? I'm running a 12 tooth/41 chain sprocket on mine and its doing fine. Although it does whine like a Democrat. I suspect that is that tiny (#11? bearing). And yes, it is not really a pedaler. A freewheel sprocket would be the ticket on these things.
I hope this area of the forum takes off.

BTW, DT,
You aren't jumping in front of anyone's parade. This really isn't new ground. I am slightly troubled about your remarks about "credit" and such. Personally, I'm not out for credit. As I mentioned, let me know how I can help.
Also, shall we continue this here? Or take it to another section of the forum?

there sure seems to be a LOT of interest, here.

can y'all post some links to existing MBc threads about CVT's & torque converters, in this thread ?

That's just the problem...there ain't a whole lot. Look down at the bottom of this post at "all" the CVT threads. Pitiful few. And as I mentioned...seems to fall on deaf ears. The robot dude is all over this though. I'll gladly contribute what I know. But I am by no means an authority. Only my personal experience and bias.

Now c'mon...I'll help, but don't get down on my fellow Dems,
I might have to say that the CVT is made with the same quality as Republican ideas are......
or..the CVT whines as much as Rush Limbaugh at Cpac... Yeah, that's better.

Now that we're non-partisan....
All these CVTs do whine from that gearbox. Synthetic gear oil can help in lessening the whine.
The stock bearings can sometimes last a long time.

Do you have any vids with the 12/44?
Picts of your setup?
How does it rev?
What size of shim and how many grams of rollers are you running?
I just worry that you're running too tall of gearing.
I'd like to see how it performs up hills....

Do you have a thread where you posted picts?

Captured; why not run the cahin to a sproket on a HD Freewheel hub? Then you wouldn't have to move the engine chain when pedaling. No more drag.

Oh, I forgot one thing...
I gave a lot of thought to adding a one way bearing on the output shaft,
and if it could be machined, it would make the CVT almost dragless for pedaling.
It does have a good amount of drag now for sure.

My Front Wheel Drive Buggy Bike is a three speed. I still have my 5 speed hub using the big gear to get my one speed. A CVT would fit rather easily by simply fliping my engine mount plate on my Titan. That would move my engine over enough to align that sprocket to my Jack Shaft. In fact it may stick out far enough to directly link to my sprocket eliminating the jack shaft entirely.

And drag? Not when it comes to my trike.

My sprocket freewheels.

See? Now I want to save that money again for a CVT!

I BLAME THIS THREAD!!!!

Nuttsy,

i can see that i'm not making it any clearer.

Nobody is out to parade their stuff and take credit.

you were never being accused. there are no subjects that shouldn't be talked about.

i was the one that said "start a thread about your build it's going to get ALOT of attention "

i got the discussion started, now i'm going to take a seat and watch.

So what would be the official name and description of the forum?

"CVT's and Comet drivelines"

Would it go in the garage or clubhouse?
