I was doing some research on jackshafts, looking for a way to transfer power to the right side with the intent of using an internal geared wheel hub. I stumbled upon a 2 speed jack shaft that uses a clutch system to switch between 2 different sprockets. I checked the archives but couldn't do a proper search. It poses some problems:
1. it operates with 2 sprockets on your rear wheel and 2 chains going to them from the jackshaft. Not a big problem but heavier, more expensive, noisier and harder to pedal.
2. Now the jack shaft has moved you to the right side of the bike and you want your drive to be on the left.
Anyway, I haven't worked out how to use it bu was sure it would be of interest if it has not already been used. www.bmikarts.com search for jackshaft
