eMAyaRKay Posted February 16, 2005 Report Share Posted February 16, 2005 Jesus did you just not listen or something, I'm saying that its not an egineering impossibility to set up with enough time and calculation, I don't care about all the cons you come out with about the system, I know it would be pointless etc. I'M JUST SAYING THAT IT COULD BE DONE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark W Posted February 16, 2005 Report Share Posted February 16, 2005 I know there's that guy there who's got two chainrings on the same side with chains running from to two same-sized sprockets at the back? Rides a Giant? Or are you thinking of someone else :"> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JT!

Lets face it, theres no point in having two freewheels on a bike, full stop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Olly C Posted February 17, 2005 Report Share Posted February 17, 2005 The only good way to try something like this out would be this.. get a onza hub with the threads on both sides.. then on the normal side have your fixed cog and ENO up front, then on the smaller side run the "lefty" freewheel from ACS? up on another mod righthand crank and have a fixed cog at the rear? This way there would be 2 instantly engaging fixed cogs and freewheels where if one skipped the other may save you. At the end of the day its not worth all tha hassle and would be a bitch to setup the chains on each side etc etc Buy a Profile and relax..

Mark W Posted February 17, 2005 Report Share Posted February 17, 2005 The Onza thread sizes are different on each side though, so it'd be tricky to get hold of the correct sized rear sprocket, basically, which was why I was thinking it might be a whore to actually every achieve it. Also, because it'd be on the left you'd be naturally un-screwing the freewheel every time you pedalled, because the left-side threads are made to be used on the right hand side (you flip the wheel round so you can run BMX-style micro-drive), so it'd undo. Plus, from experience of having to use an mtb r-side crank (with spider) on the left hand side when I was poor and raped my own crank, pedals really do like to undo themselves :huh:\ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But yea we should stop this thread its pointless and gh3y. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted February 17, 2005 Report Share Posted February 17, 2005 Yeah, but they don't use screw-on freewheels up front :huh: Plus, like I said, you'd have to have a custom made rear hub. Getting a bit silly then, but yeah, like you said, this thread's run it's course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
