Alright, back on topic.
I just got the
sick bike parts air filter in the mail today with my new sprockets. Couldn't get the staton inc #35 chain parts, they need the name on the front of a credit/debit card. I bought a prepaid debit card, which had none. I know, its my bad not finding out how they expected payment before purchasing the card.
Well, I love to procrastinate, so time to make a panicked rush trying to work out the kinks tuning my carb before the race in 5 days lol. I'm probably gonna have to drill out my main jet and adjust the idle jet. Bye gas mileage, hi more power. Taking both the 30t chainrings off alerted my to the horrible state those screws were in holding them together on the freewheel, trip to the hardware store was required... Ordered just one chain to replace my 2 small chains and forgot I'll need a new one from the pedals to rear wheel because 18 more teeth... This kind of rush is fun, gets my adrenaline going, I guess. Last moment work is the funnest. Maybe I hate myself?
My new gearing is 20t-100t pulleys on the tc, 9t output to 17t jackshaft input, 9t output to 48t input chainring, 48t output to 18t on nexus 3 speed. Its 50.37:1 reduction at the pedals, think that might work just fine
. Looks Like I can pedal up to 33 mph at 120 pedal rpm. It would take 2x 72t chainrings to be able to pedal up to 50 with my engine, but holy crap, would be hard to add any useful pedaling to help the engine at low speeds/crazy grade uphills etc, and omg I would die on a breakdown. My profile pic is how I feel when I break down and have to push.
We shall see how this works saturday. Doubt I hit 50 mph, so this thread needs to live and go somewhere useful.
