Are those 3D printed or cut rubber?
Cut rubber from TredWear. I'm really hoping the curve fits the tire. It'll make mounting them so much easier!Are those 3D printed or cut rubber?
Is it an 1/8 or 3/32 chain?When adjusting the shifting I ran into a problem I didn’t realize I’d hit, but makes sense. The fat tire is in the way of the chain line in 1st and 2nd gears.

Here’s a look down the chain line.

So… maybe if I added more space to the sprocket. As you can see it’s tight on the bottom bracket as stock spacing.

So I stacked another space on top.

This pushed the sprocket it out

But it also pulled in the crank’s threads.

So I installed everything to make sure it fit.

I didn’t have room for the washer, but it will work like this and looks good.
So… now to check…

Second gear has some room. 1st gear has none. Ugh
I need to add the white letter to the tire, which will add a little more! And I can’t have a dirty chain rubbing against them.
I’m at a loss. I’ve never dealt with a tire this wide. And ideas?
I was thinking that. Restack the hub washers to push it left. Wheel would be minutely off center but probably less than noticeableAnother half baked thought. What if you adjusted the washers on the hub, to move the hub towards the drive side. Then dished the wheel to recenter the rim.
I haven’t completely thought this through, but seems like it could maybe have a possibility of sort of working.
I'm going to give that a shot first. I'm having some spacers made at work at two different widths to see what happens. I'm also getting the black cog and lock ring zinc plated so it matches the other cogs. I mean... why not. So give me a few days before I get back into the rear wheel. I'll work on the fork tonight to keep going on progress.However, I think the freewheel spacer is much easier to try first.
Good idea with the BMX set up. I wanted to keep the Huffy sprocket, but I'm not married to it. I'll look into that in case the rear spacing isn't working.But I like the idea of spacing the rear cog. Just add the same amount to non drive side and widen your drop spacing.
