Title: 160/80 on rear wheel and... Post by dasch on 05/12/10 at 09:53:51 ... belt rubs a bit. Got the shim for front pulley. Has anybody shimmed the rear one? How? If it had more horses, I would machine a full round plate with holes. But now I'm thinking small washer shims under all 5 (or 6, whatever) bolts should do. What's your thoughts? |

Title: Re: 160/80 on rear wheel and... Post by dasch on 05/13/10 at 06:34:07 Deal. I shimmed both front and rear pulley today with 2mm shims and it still rubs a bit when in allignment. I can get it just a bit off alignment and stop rubbing, or shim another mm or two. This is gonna be a tight squeeze, guys. Tire is getting close to everything everywhere!! But it will work. James, I will try to take some pics today. It's getting dark in the garage. |

Title: Re: 160/80 on rear wheel and... Post by dasch on 05/14/10 at 14:11:51 No problem erltytimz, as soon as I get some time to mount everything. It's on the jack now, garage is too dark for my camera. This is what it looked like in different phases: http://www.bikepics.com/members/dasch/95savage/ and this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LxrYiLR1ZGk |

Title: Re: 160/80 on rear wheel and... Post by verslagen1 on 06/17/10 at 11:54:51 Looks like you've found a way to keep apart of the belt clean. |

Title: Re: 160/80 on rear wheel and... Post by dasch on 06/17/10 at 12:55:57 Oh yeah! |

Title: Re: 160/80 on rear wheel and... Post by earlytimz on 06/17/10 at 19:19:57 Whew that's tight! Looks good man... Rock on! |

Title: Re: 160/80 on rear wheel and... Post by Savage_Amusement on 06/17/10 at 19:25:50 Now that's what I'm talking about! |

Title: Re: 160/80 on rear wheel and... Post by babyhog on 06/18/10 at 12:08:00 Ok, can I ask a dumb "girl" question.... Will weight on the bike not cause that to rub? It looks awfully tight! |
|
Title: Re: 160/80 on rear wheel and... Post by dasch on 06/18/10 at 13:00:15 No, weight won't move the wheel left, right or forward. Just upwards. and my fender (once I put it on) moves upd/down with the wheel - so no problem. |
|
Title: Re: 160/80 on rear wheel and... Post by JohnBoy on 06/18/10 at 14:31:14 Man that looks pretty tight. Did the tire Mfg. provide any data on the projected centrifugal growth of the tire under load? |

Title: Re: 160/80 on rear wheel and... Post by earlytimz on 06/19/10 at 10:10:16 You should be golden. If you've got 2cm in front (~3/4") that will be plenty. Just watch how you mount your fender. I wouldn't worry much about the sides as long as they clear. |

Title: Re: 160/80 on rear wheel and... Post by justin_o_guy2 on 06/19/10 at 10:24:40 Looks like the tread pattern is so blocky that it'll bump up & down just goin down the road, but the whole job looks good. |

Title: Re: 160/80 on rear wheel and... Post by dasch on 06/19/10 at 10:46:52 This is a Continental street tire sold as direct replacement for Honda Shadow. May look rough on the pic, but it's more meat than grooves in nature. Yup, erlytimz, have enough space for fender bracket and fender up front. Not worried at all. (and another famous last sentence, hahaha). Front is a 90/90R19 Avon. Should cut curves like a knife! working on wiring now, need another week or two, and then the great reveal! |

Title: Re: 160/80 on rear wheel and... Post by Serowbot on 06/19/10 at 11:23:27 Don't worry,... it'll only rub for a while.... ...parts make their own clearance eventually... :-?... |
|
Title: Re: 160/80 on rear wheel and... Post by dasch on 06/19/10 at 11:33:49 :) Most of the times... |

Title: Re: 160/80 on rear wheel and... Post by james may on 06/19/10 at 18:43:11 nice like the white walls too.. you'll have to tell us how it rides.. if the big tire slows it down much.. |
|
Title: Re: 160/80 on rear wheel and... Post by EJID on 06/19/10 at 21:57:21 I love the look of wide white walls on a bike, looking forward to the reveal!!! :o :o :o |

Title: 160/80 on rear wheel and... a DEAD BATTERY!! Post by dasch on 09/24/10 at 05:35:53 Well... usually people post videos of them running circles around the wife with a camera, or cheesy high speed drive-bys... I picked something totally different ;D Gents, my latest build: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ww02tknZ0vk |

Title: Re: 160/80 on rear wheel and... Post by jef.savage on 09/24/10 at 05:48:29 Looks great! |

Title: Re: 160/80 on rear wheel and... Post by Demin on 09/24/10 at 13:05:23 Kool. 8-) |

Title: Re: 160/80 on rear wheel and... Post by dasch on 09/25/10 at 08:45:35 And yeah, the tire doesn't strech nor rub, even at 100km/h. We'll see about higher speeds soon. Runs very well with tall rear tire. I need to design a seat over winter. |
