droo Posted August 19, 2009 Posted August 19, 2009 ...for the world's coolest looking drivetrain. And to admit that I talk way too much crap.
AndreZA Posted August 19, 2009 Posted August 19, 2009 those Treks do look good even if I say so myself. Imagine it on a Alfine hub and then you still got 8 gears.
droo Posted August 19, 2009 Author Posted August 19, 2009 well done on 1000!!! Thanks! Starting to think I should do a bit more work though... does that use a CVT system? Nope, just a belt drive. One gear's all you really need on a commuter.
MoreTrails Posted August 24, 2009 Posted August 24, 2009 I want one' date=' Imagine how quiet it must run..[/quote'] Nearly rode into a guy in Jonkers on a Salsa 9'er with a belt drive - that thing was so quite, then again that guy also looked like he was a easy jaunt the way he was cruising up the trail... I think you can get Rohloff hubs with a belt spline add-on....Then again thinking is sometimes assumptions.........
HeartCoppi Posted August 24, 2009 Posted August 24, 2009 I dont know what is going on there with that rear sprocket and the stays and the drop out. Someone technical mind trying to explain or sketch?
HeartCoppi Posted August 24, 2009 Posted August 24, 2009 And now on second glance hows that bicycle stand work without falling over?
droo Posted August 25, 2009 Author Posted August 25, 2009 You can't break and rejoin a belt, so the rear triangle has to be splittable. Other than that, it's pretty much a standard arrangement. The stand - didn't see much that was odd about that.
MoreTrails Posted August 25, 2009 Posted August 25, 2009 Droo, he wouldn't understand - he is a roadie. They seem to aim at convensional stuff.
