Building Michael's OCC with a 79cc Predator

[Chainlube]

Thanks for the reply Robe. I have already considered your idea and found the pedals would be toooo far apart. Maybe OK if I was a bow legged bull rider. LOL. I already have a jackshaft and DO NOT want to add a second one. In my post #85 I was exploring the idea of using it. My latest idea will allow me to run the chain straight to the wheel if I use a 24T sproket on the pedal shaft, which is OK because speed is not the issue. This is only proof to a cop that this is a functioning pedal bike.

My question is..............how to attach the freewheel to the hub.

The hub should be threaded to accept the freewheel.

A Staton Inc hub has left hand threads on the left side and right hand threads on the right side.

I totally realize what both of you are saying but still, my question is..........what other way could I secure a freewheel to a hub with no threads.

A front freewheel? https://www.ebay.com/itm/3260135143...jmq7wgurws&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

Just my two bits worth. I'm curious as to what solution you come up with. These little issues are what makes this so much fun to me.

I can't believe there's such a thing as a front FW. That would mean the chain is moving all the time. I think these might be for tandem bicycles.

Weird little experiment of a product.

These are pretty handy for shift kits on gas and electric builds though.

Got 2 freewheels in my Staton Inc triple chainring shift kit. However, it was very expensive cost around $400.

Well after 11 years of service I've decided to retire the auto shift LandRider. I did mods to the derailleur and it was working really good. However the hanger broke on the frame. It's a steel frame so I could repair it with a little welding. Still LandRider went out of business 5 years ago. So...

I think you can find FW in most any size and configuration if you are willing to pay up.
