Not unless you can get a reverse Alfine...Nice work!
Would it be possible to swap the cranks over + the alfine and have it drive the normal side to get the chain away from the rotor?
of course... (where's that facepalm pic when you need it).Not unless you can get a reverse Alfine...
Still haven't ridden it much yet, Alfine 11 doesn't like the ratio I'm running.MMMmmmmm left hand drive Really well done!
Done anything other than a car park test on it yet? Very keen to hear a ride report!
Now I'm even more keen to get ours done
Oh, and are you concerned about getting chain oil on your disc rotor?
Rough geo measurement in low position with forks slammed:Details please, geo, wheelbase, Chain stay, BB height, head angle, travel, and Weight? Doesn't look like it'd be that heavy really, sub 19kg?
I guess your cool tensioner location stops the chain flapping about and flicking lube about near the rotor.Have finally had some time to make a few changes and do some testing. No problems with chain and disc on same side yet.
Holy crap! Those rotors must be near 300mm.are you talking about gatorbrake and the 8pot caliper twin front one rear, (totaling 24pistons of braking power) and the era of putting moto forks on dh bikes for new world disorder hucks
Reverse had a dual disc hub that actually ran on both front and back of their gearbox bike, you only needed 1 spare wheel instead of 2.are you talking about gatorbrake and the 8pot caliper twin front one rear, (totaling 24pistons of braking power) and the era of putting moto forks on dh bikes for new world disorder hucks
First thing I thought of was a problem with the chain throwing dirt and possibly lube, or a mix of the two, up the guts of the caliper and/or onto the disc. Would be interested to see how long the pads last.I guess your cool tensioner location stops the chain flapping about and flicking lube about near the rotor.
Yeah, tensioner is made out of an old X0 cage. Just a temporary setup to do some testing.I guess your cool tensioner location stops the chain flapping about and flicking lube about near the rotor.
Is the tensioner an old mech hanger? Cool. Got any close up pics of how you did it?
Ride report?
