Well I definitely need to go with a small front wheel.
Anyone done a small front wheel with a large rear wheel that is ridable?
Otherwise I would need to rig up some kind of crank that has a left side and a
right side. A chain would go from each crank up to the mid drive and then
through the mid drive back to the drive wheel. If this make any sense.
This means the individual crank arms would be mounted part of the way down the
frame the axle is mounted to. This would allow me to use a 26 inch front
wheel.
The reason for the 26 inch front wheel is that I have studded tires on wide
rims for the winter. The Python might make a good winter bike as you are close
to the ground and your hands are free to help in any slide.
I guess I should just stop yapping and make one : } The snow is coming in two
months so that is ample time to build one.
I know the disadvantage to this double sided crank to single mid drive is
weight. I would have the option of putting the mid drive above the axle and
the only penalty would be a few more links of chain and the weight would not
be hanging off the front.
Any Comments ?
Cheers,
Paul Bell
