jetblk328i · 11-19-2007, 03:38 PM

so i have a hobby of riding my bicycle in the snow, its not a great bike but i think its fun. so i know that some people have tried to make a 2wd bike but they dont use a conventional chain....anyone have ideas like perhaps a longer chain and a rotor thing up front lol imma get pwned for this!

Crimson92 · 11-19-2007, 03:49 PM

so what happens when you turn the handle....is the chain gonna turn too.....

not really what i was thinking lol^^^

SoYank · 11-19-2007, 06:21 PM

Me neither.

jetblk328i · 11-19-2007, 06:22 PM

hmm i was actually thinking a long chain towards the bottom of the bike...so it interferes less with the turning...

jetblk328i · 11-19-2007, 06:25 PM

like have a gear axle close to the bottom, and a chain tilting downwards...idk taking ideas......please i am not sure i wanna do the shaft drive because it might prove to be expensive....
