Message: <blockquote data-quote="bamabikeguy" data-source="post: 68996" data-attributes="member: 1906">Excellent platform to build upon SamI just put on 2, the second a lady's coaster brake, which require a tad of "frame squeezing", and want to point out 3 parts for emphasis.The key is the spokering, install it in the "clock method", 12-6-3-9 positions, to torque it down and make sure the gap is correct.2.125 tires are tricky to work with, the belt can touch the bulge of the tire, and fray.  Washers are used on the drivering side of the axle to allow slight changes in centering the belt on the "small gear"/drive gear, and you can adjust the axle slightly to push the tire at clear of the belt.Smaller tire sizes do not have this problem, only the fattest standard size.Also, the two straps that came with these latest engines had to be reamed slightly to fit onto the engine mounts.<img src="http://www.motoredbikes.com/phpBB2/userpix/21_2007_0315brackets0002_1.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />I usually use either the second or third hole on the strap, you might use the fourth or first, depending on the bike.  Check the strap out on the mount, see if it will slip on before starting that part of the install.  You might have to take a drill bit to the hole, so it will make it fit at a crucial moment.</blockquote>
