This would be fun and easy to do. No real purpose

BUT IT IS BAD "DONKEY"

I LIKE IT

Reminds me of the Biker Build-off TV show...

Somebody built a bike with an open primary using many chains instead of a cog belt.

It was called the 'Meat Grinder'

I don't know if I'd describe it as easy.

Master,Yeah,you think like me...its 'easy' for somebody else.heh

Although...IF you were to splice together a coupla of double row engine timing chains...and some timing gears for sprockets...

Hmmmmmmmm.Now the wheels are turning...

I gotta think about this...

 

[RawBert]

i wanna see the sprocket on the rear wheel... how would that work?? custom hub??? wider frame???

It would be pretty easy on a MTN Bike as you could just use three chain rings of the same size instead of the usual stack. Not sure if there would be room for a BMX Style free-wheel or not but otherwise it could be spaced. Of course this method would mean Caliper style brakes and no coaster brake.

my guess would be a 5 speed 20" minus two cogs and a mountain bike crank with three same sized front cogs

so yes pretty easy if ya wanted to do it

Well they'd all need to be that same size.
