I ordered a new drive wheel for my bumblebeebolton because my old one was worn out! It only had hundred miles on it but i didn't have my tension correct. the new drive wheel bumblebeebolton sent me is a urethane drive wheel and it grips alot better. Actually it grips a whole lot better. Im very impressed with it. They dont have them on there website yet but if you email them they will send you one. They told me that they have one that they use the delrin because it doesnt eat up the tire as bad but it slips more and wears out the drive wheel faster. the urethane grips alot better but its going to eat my tire up more..Its friction drive what are gonna do somethings going to wear down..either your tire or drive wheel.

Does anyone know of anyother good drive wheels. Im definatly not using a steel one!
 
Try a hardwood like oak. DE sells urethane rollers that lasts.
 
What about the option of not having to worry about drive rollers and tyres wearing out.

SickBikeParts sells 2-stroke and 4-stroke shift kits that eliminates all the problems associated with friction drive systems.
 

What mark doesnt tell you is he changed his drive wheel to a steel one and over torqued his nut and likes jumping curbs..he already admitted to it being his fault..IF you dont take care of your stuff and jump curbs and are rough i bet you will hurt your self..i have thousands of miles on my kit and havent had any problems..and i know alot of other poeple that have had the same experiance..if your rough on your stuff your gonna get hurt..

NO i dont like chain drives..they break to much..i had a chain drive and we didn't work out..i put 50miles on my on my new drive wheel and it hasn't even worn out a little bit..but it will wear out the tire more gripping better..i dont mind though..
 
He obviously wasn't riding a bike fitted with a shift kit and he was riding whilst intoxicated.

Shift kit's work terrifically well, that is if the person has a basic understanding of mechanical systems and a basic level of competency.

Lets face it, more than one person has died falling over drunk and the medical establishment kills thousands of people each year through the administration of incorrect medicine/treatments, and in amongst the noise of daily life you hear of a single case of someone being killed on a China Girl - with that in mind i'm not throwing my hands in the air and running around the room in mad panic like the world is going to end on the simple basis that i've installed a China Girl engine in my bike, and without any personal injury for the last 40,000 kilometers.
