Has anybody ever adapted a HT style chainwheel to fit on a disc brake hub where the disc rotor attaches, securing it to the 5 or 6 bolts on the hub instead of using the stock rubber/plates, bolts through spokes method??? If so, has it stood the test of time\strength\ rigorous daily riding??? To me it just seems like a really good idea, like it belongs there!!!
The reason I ask is because today I have aquired a 30cc Kawasaki engine equiped with Walbro carby that used to be on a whippersnipper. (weedwacker)
I'm thinking about rack-mounting above the front wheel, with original centrifugal style clutch, chain driving a sprocket mounted on the disc-rotor hub.
I have a 9 and an 11 tooth cogs to attach to the motor and a 44t for the wheel.
Will that be high (or is it low) enough for the little 30cc to get me moving???
If it gets way to complex for me and my means I can always just friction drive it!!!
Any tips and advice will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks, Chris......
