dchevy,
Thanks.
I love the Zenoah & the CY engines & bet they are way more reliable than the Cag's. I got lucky with this Cag but had to go thru 2 other duds to end up with this one good one.
This cag pulls 11000 rpm's under load & is probably overkill for a bicycle (53mph @ 15.6:1 ratio), but the DH MTB handles the speed well. Although I'm limited to a narrow (1.25"-1.5") drive tire, I havent had a front flat yet (knock on wood)...I simply attach a rim hoop to the spoked wheel. Haven't had one fail yet & havent needed to replace any v-belts...If cars can run v-belts for many miles, I dont think I'll ever need to worry about a replacement on the MB's.
