Hi all
So two of the plans I may choose for the rear of a delta/quad [ yes still a mass of indecision ] need me to chain drive a pair of single sided rear wheels.
So no problem with left wheel , free wheel just screws on and away we go , however right wheel is harder as free wheel wants to be on the inside and NOT unscrew when pedaling
So this is the only plan I can come up with so far that may work ?
On the left is a hub flange from another wheel with the thread for the free wheel to screw onto , coming from inside the threaded portion and the free wheel is a tube welded to the back of the hub flange.
When on the right of the free wheel a plate is welded to the tube.
The plate has 6 holes to bolt it to the disk mount in the hub of the wheel I am to use , which has a M14 axle.
Problems [ there are a few ! ]
Inner tube needs to go over nuts on M14 axle and be thick enough to weld
Free wheel will be trapped for ever - no servicing - will the welding burn out the grease ?
Free wheel will stop attachment bolts from being inserted after it is built - so they need to be hex headed and inserted before plate is welded to tube ?
this whole assembly will mean a spacer tube and nut will have to be added to axle to the left of this unit to allow this to be bolted up ?
Anyone have a better idea ?
Don't forget the mantra is :-
Built from standard bike parts
No machining
No specialist parts
Lot's of ingenuity
