Hey Ratters,
I'm working towards my first completely scratch built bike.
And I thought; Lets share the whole process!
At the moment I am working on setting up and arranging my workshop, since I'm slowly working towards building frames for customers.
Regarding this bike I had in mind: I have five brand new shaft drives in boxes. Three 'singlespeeds' or 'three speeds' and two with an threaded rear sprocket.
Two types: Right is for regular hubs like the Shimano CB-E110 or Nexus 3.
At the moment I am doing lots of inquiry! Measuring, calculating and looking for good mountainbiking geometries.
The shaft drives 'chainstay length' is fixed, so that is why I can't build a long chainstay (belly mounted BB) cruiser with this.
Right now I am figuring out the measurements of this shaft and how I build a durable frame with this.
Unfortunately VERY fat tires won't fit, probably a maximum of 2 inches, depending on wheelsize.... which is dependant on the internal gear ratio....
Measuring the dropout width.
BB shell.
My sketch of the bike.
A looptail, shaft driven klunker bike
I intend to use CroMo tubing.
