And how do you mount the wheel if the axel is turning?
No, sorry, you are closer to moron than genius but that is a subjective opinion.Okay, better idea. Stay with me now. Taking back my thread.
Mount a sprocket on the left side of the wheel but mount it to the axle, not the spinning wheel as is commonly done, but the axle -
like the sprocket on the other side.
Now, you need a freewheeling pedal but that's no problem as those are available. Would this not work?
Wouldn't it work with internal gearing (but not derailler gearing). Am I not genius?
No, sorry, you are closer to moron than genius but that is a subjective opinion.
Wheel Axles do not spin, hence the nuts that secure them to the frame, the wheel spins on bearings around the fixed axle.
I think it would really REALLY help you if you understand how things actually work before suggesting improvements, that is kind of the basis of everything ya know?
We are all in support of anything new and improved, just not so much from someone that doesn't even know how bicycle wheels work to begin with.
Really dude, use google or just go look at any bicycle and understand it first.
Or don't, you do provide a great deal of entertainment with your posts for reasons I suppose are far above your head anyway ;-}
I don't know about kendas in particular but tire size on a bicycle is meant to include the tire. for example a 20 inch rim is something like 16 inches. the general rule is measured size minus 4 inches will get you the actual rim size. for example a 26 inch rim will be 22 inches, a 24 inch rim will be 20, and a 20 will be 16. so on and so forth. don't know if you can apply the same rules to modern weirdos like 650b (supposedly 27.5 inches) or 700c (supposedly 29)Don't confuse wheel size with rim size.
Wheel size includes the tire.
For example the the 24x3" Kenda tires stand 26" tall but use a 24" rim because the tires are so tall.
I am sure you are a very clever guy, and sorry about the moron comment, I was answering your 'Am I genius?' question about spinning the axle to spin the wheel on a bicycle.Seriously? Ok I get it, I goofed but I'm on to something. I'm no moron, and I'm actually quite handy.
Thanks for the Kudos Chevy.KC has the right stuff designed on his 10g 5:1 belt reduction. A 5:1 pocket bike trans reverses rotation, so flipping any 78mm clutched engine is an option "CY460R is my favorite". Using either a center mount plate or rack mount will do the same thing, but where would u like you CG to be? I like mine low so it corners well
People started with rag joints on 120 year old MBC's! its time to reinvent the wheel IMHO!
Beats me, I just make my own to fit the bike these days.What center mount plate do u suggest that I get for a 460? Its going into a motobecane 500HT 17"/18" frame
