I need to make some 200+ mile rides on my GEBE-equipped bike. Stopping every 30 miles or so to fill the little tank is not my idea of fun, especially since I don't want to have to look for gas stations. I've looked around for small gas tanks on eBay, but none of them are narrow enough to fit in the middle of the bike frame. I got an idea that maybe I can mount a pannier on the left side of the rear wheel and put a 2.5 gallon gas can in it, then run new gas lines from the can. Would that work?
It'd be even better if I could find a narrow gas can of that capacity, something like the old Jerry cans, but not 5 gallons.
Also, does anyone else have a problem with the snap ring holding the bearing in the motor mount coming off and letting the bearing come out? I've put that thing back in about ten times now and seriously thinking about supergluing the ring in next time so I don't get stuck in the middle of nowhere with a loose bearing.
