It is the little things that eat up the time sometimes!
Saturday night...
Sent from the backseat of a crowded clown car
Glad you got your truck back!
You reminded me of some classic Aussie rock...
Yes Sir! I nicked the chains off two old road bikes and still had to add about a foot, and it's not fine tuned yet.That is a long chain!
Plus it's a dérailleur shift so the chain needs some "swing" to it. Should make the positioning of the lower roller dicey. My Harlequin build had a long chain too, and I'll be using the roller system I devised for that build again. Nylon rollers with flanges and brass bushings on modified U bolts, are able to mount on the frame tubes and can be moved around to get the optimum positions. All made with hardware store parts.I like your proposed double chain guide idea Carl. You want the build to be 'off the chain'; not the chain off the build.
Talc. It's there for effect...What's that white stuff?
Well my garage is attached so even though it's not heated I can still duck back in the house every so often. It's also all brick so it's not drafty, just cold. I did dig up a space heater today to just warm the toes while I worked on The Wild One. Keeping my feet warm makes a big difference...Coming along nicely no way could I take that cold I freeze in the 30's.
