The scooterguy offers freewheel crank and drive system SPECIAL

thanks nadroj , i appreciate and understand how you feel , i have found that some hydraulic clamps have threaded inlets for 1/4 inch thread , they can work for a clamping system , they have flexible bands that will conform to a bikes contours and not bend your frame and are thin enough to go under break and shift cables , they are not very pretty and i don't know how well they would hold up .i won't sell a clamping system until i think it is better then my bolting system , which i have 100 percent confidence in . i have been trying to research how bike frames break , what causes it ,ever since hpv started voicing his opinions on my threads . and really how much of what will break or crack or bend a bike frame .i had a customer hit a car last summer . he was OK he flew up on the hood and his front forks bent , i replaced that for him but the rest of the bike was fine even where the holes were drilled , i have never seen a broken frame , so i haven't had to deal with a problem like that . in the beginning it was chain derailment that caused most of my failures , do to an earlyer clamping system that would shift and move . changing the sprocket alignment , no mater how tight i made it. eventually it would fail . the bolting system that i use works very well . i have two customers that ride off road doing jumps and woopties exclusively , they use my peg design that drills holes in the back , i expressed concern when they ordered there bikes and to this date they have had no problems either . like i said . i have never seen a broken frame . and would like to hear from people that have had this happen so i can better understand what causes and why cracked or broken frames accure . a computer generated stress test would be really cool . where you could do differant things to a tube and then stress it to see what happens , like a flight simulation , i'm sure there is something like that out there , maybe hpv knows where to find one . i need a video camera i can mount on my helmet , and i can do some off road runs and abuse a bike to show the strength and durability of my system . i feel another video coming on
 
you have a good idea. but i think alot of us are not comfortable with putting holes in our frames. If you made a clamping design you might sell a few more

have you considered my approach as presented in the frame mount forum under the title Trek 4500/ GP460/ 8 speed SHIFTER ?

since this thread is about Jerrys freewheel configuration i invite your comments about MY clamp setup over in that thread.

looking forward to your input,
steve
 

here are some some clamps that people use on Harleys the 3 piecs clamps are very stout & many people have foot pegs mounted with & they dont shift now this is if you use one of the standard pipe sizes offered the cost are not unreasonable as far as I am concerned the 3 piece sell for around $7 each the Kuryakn as well as the P clamps are in the low $20s each

I know a few more styles exist but I just did a quick look & it has been 5 years since I worked at an independent Harley shop & I worked there 13 years.

the "P" clamp is the bomb if you can size it for your top tube.

i'm going to look into them just for looks and simplicity alone.

thanks,

ive got a harley shop about 1 mile from me im gonna ride in there on my bike . hope they don't kick me out . lol

the real bikers dont really care what you ride as long as you ride. the only thing that may bother them are fake Harley jap copys like the V twin pretty much anything else goes. I am a little on the extreme side I won't accept any Harley made after 1985 as that is when Harley turned their back on the bikers that kept them alive all those years & they went after the money. so I will never own nor ride any made after 85 & when I worked at bike shop I refused to work on nothing but old school bikes & there were plenty as their was a "club" with lots of patch holders a couple miles down the road, I still have my shovel & pan as well as a flathead, & another shovel basket but sold my knuckle.

me refusing to work on later models is not why I dont work there anymore after 13 years, it was a falling out in general about parts removed from my bike & customers allowed to try on their bikes to make a sale instead of having those racing parts in stock. & most common parts were either my racing brakes including my small diameter master cylinder or my perfectly dialed in carb for my bike. it has been my seat, wheel & tire to a prospect that had a flat & had to get to the meetings, my chain to another member for a trip when he had sold his last chain so a member could do his trip, my handlebars so people could see how 16 inch ape knurled bars were compared to their current bars, how about my neck bearings? yeah almost new set to a customer because he had sold his last set & guy needed to get going soon so he removed my set & put them in & left my bike on lift until new bearings came in.. oh he never reinstalled the parts either just left them for me to do. but he gave me lots of used as well as new parts & paid me good. there are other parts.. but I got sick of it & stopped working for him. my bike was never safe to leave alone in his shop unwatched by me.

Later,
Randy
