Ross McArthur Posted November 3, 2014 Report Share Posted November 3, 2014 Seems a bit OTT but might float some people's boat. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MartMini Posted November 3, 2014 Report Share Posted November 3, 2014 New level of ghetto Hows the front done? Differently spaced screw on sprockets? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waybe2014 Posted November 3, 2014 Report Share Posted November 3, 2014 How would that work at the crank. Running 2 chain rings the same size with longer bolts? Can't imagine 2 screw on sprockets plus bash ring fitting without some major adjustment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weirdoku Posted November 3, 2014 Report Share Posted November 3, 2014 What I'm interested in is how that person got both sprocket teeths to match up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

waybe2014 Posted November 3, 2014 Report Share Posted November 3, 2014 Looks to be a free hub so 2 splined sprockets is easy on the rear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dezmtber Posted November 3, 2014 Report Share Posted November 3, 2014 I like it. But seems a lot of work to save you having chains snap when you can just run one huge chain instead. Or is there an advantage to the twin chain setup? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CurtisRider Posted November 3, 2014 Report Share Posted November 3, 2014 Mud Dock did twin chain set ups yonks ago and it was also done by some trials riders about 15 years ago, can't find photos though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

casualjoe Posted November 3, 2014 Report Share Posted November 3, 2014 Yea I'd seen that, he spaced out a rear mech (known back then as a tensioner) to run 2 chains, that must have been back in 2000. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ben_travis Posted November 3, 2014 Report Share Posted November 3, 2014 i thought it was potts from nailsea trials who also had a two chain set-up on his trialsy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Booth Posted November 3, 2014 Report Share Posted November 3, 2014 I've always wondered if you could run LHD+RHD on a track hub with bmx cranks. I dunno why and know there would be zero benefit but just wondered if it could be done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dngr2self Posted November 3, 2014 Report Share Posted November 3, 2014 Surely the sprockets don't need to line up do they? I'm interested to see how two sprockets have been fitted on the front though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AkuskaUK Posted November 4, 2014 Report Share Posted November 4, 2014 weld two sprockets together? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greetings Posted November 4, 2014 Report Share Posted November 4, 2014 Why is it good? standard chains are not strong enough? I can only see this making sense for riders who have fear of snapping chains due to - perhaps - a nasty accident in the past. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

N.Wood Posted November 4, 2014 Report Share Posted November 4, 2014 This sort of made sense back in 2001 but thankfully KMC seem to have solved the problem for the majority of people. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dann2707 Posted November 4, 2014 Report Share Posted November 4, 2014 I doubt i'd even be able to pedal that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manuel Posted November 5, 2014 Report Share Posted November 5, 2014 It will reduce the chain stretch over time which I guess might be useful on horizontal drops? But yeah a bristol guy did it who used to work at mud dock, (not Potts) as said - made sense on the skinny chains b.i.t.d. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
