Go Big!

[c.p.odom]

I just updated my bike from a 56 tooth ring to a 66 tooth ring.
Go big or go home!

Looks cool. Love the wheels. Where'd ya get the gears?

 

[c.p.odom]

The wheels are HED Carbon MTB from the 90's built on my own hubs from the same time. The front chainring is my own (see the CO in the ring). The ring was built for a motor pace replica bike. The rear cogs are my little secret. Shimano cassette road cogs can be easily modified into coaster brake cogs. This gives an almost unlimited choice or sizes.

haha love it man Im a sucker for deep wheels on pretty much anything

With that chainring, I would "Go to the Velodrome".

I am thinking about making the same ring but in Inch Pitch. It is a customer order so and we always cut spares.

That sprocket is sweet, I wish I could get my hands on one that size!

Here is the same chainring as made with matching crank arm:

Nice! Whats it like to ride? Hard to start off but nice top speed on a smooth level surface? :lol:

 

[primestyle]

:shock: WOW!what kind of speeds are you getting?very fast,i would asume.

The bike is setup with 66 X 28 gearing, really not to big, around 52 inches or so. It is setup to look more bad ... than it rides.

61.28571 GI to be exact w/a 66T crank pulling a 26-inch wheel w/a 28T cog.

66X26÷28=61.28571 GI – That is: 66T crank multiplied by 26-inch wheel divided by 28T cog equals 61.28571 Gear Inches or GI.

This formula is universally applicable to all chain driven bicycles.

How?? :?:

 

[Hammond Eggz]

Holy crap that's huge!
Funny how it seems to dwarf the rest of the bike.

 

[ZygoteLittle]

Clarification of the aforementioned formula: Crank Tooth Number multiplied by the Wheel Diameter (measured in inches) divided by Cog Tooth Number equals Gear Inches

Kim_Dude:
Modifying the Shimano cassette cogs to use on coaster brake hubs is too simple. The inner diameter is almost the same, the cassette cog has 9 splines. It is as simple as grinding two thirds or them away and re-profiling the remaining three.

Hey Curtis, I went to your website to look at possibly ordering two of these bad boys, and looking at the other offerings you have, but the "products" link seems to be down?

Luke.

 

[LukeTheJoker]

It is in his details. :wink: http://www.curtisodom.com

The product link looks to be working but I do not list the chainrings or cranks, mostly just my hubs. The rings and cranks were mostly prototypes or patterns. Also I do not intend to sell products on forums so you can contact me offline: [email protected]
Just about anything can be made but my design and manufacturing standards are very high, price just follows.
