And wheres the best place to order from? Looking for a friction/EHO35 kit.
After an exhaustive research, it appears chain drive installation would be too difficult for me, and bike shops are negative about the whole idea. GEBE looks great but wont fit my bike.
I was initially concerned about speed with a friction drive. But i've read here that ppl that are much heavier than i maintaining 22-25mph with a setup like this. Does this sound right? Which larger external fuel tank would you buy for this?
Anyway I was assuming that a staton friction kit would probably be the way to go. But I just wanted to be sure before I spend this amount of money. Thanks for looking.
150lbs
26" mountain bike
mostly flats, some smaller hills
ETA: what do you think of this tire. I dont know anything about tires but it looks like it was made for a friction drive - http://www.maxxis.com/products/bicycle/product_detail.asp?id=5410
