Red Menace 36 update
Just noticed this thread bumped from last year. The gear ratio is changed by loosening the chain tension, pulling out the jackshaft, changing the cogs, and also pulling the right crank and changing the crank cog accordingly. The two sides of the driveline are symmetrical. Same as on Purple Phaze. The process takes about 10-15 minutes, not really field-serviceable. -- unisk8r ------------------------------------------------------------------------ unisk8r's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/4660 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/52571 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- ** SPEED ** RETENTION ** COMPLETION ** ANONYMITY ** ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com

But in a short period of time it can be set up for whatever ride you want. A wide range of gear ratios are available. This makes it extremely versatile. You're not just stuck with 1:1 or 1:1.5. How many gear ratios have you tried in your jackshaft design? How many do you know to be possible? -- harper -Greg Harper *jc is the only main man. there can be no other.* ------------------------------------------------------------------------ harper's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/426 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/52571 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- ** SPEED ** RETENTION ** COMPLETION ** ANONYMITY ** ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com

Red Menace 36 update
I've ridden it in 1.22 (22x20), 1.44 (24x20), and 1.69 (26x20) ratios. You can also do 1.00 (20x20), 1.96 (28x20), or even an 0.82 underdrive (20x22). The Menace has gotten even redder lately with a red painted rim, and new brake cable guides in the form of red skulls: +-------------------------------------------------------------------+ |Filename: RedMenace.v5.cable.jpg | |Download: http://www.unicyclist.com/attachment/22855 | +-------------------------------------------------------------------+ -- unisk8r ------------------------------------------------------------------------ unisk8r's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/4660 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/52571 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- ** SPEED ** RETENTION ** COMPLETION ** ANONYMITY ** ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com

Red Menace 36 update
Does it feel about the same as a regular coker in 1:1 mode, or do you notice a few differences? If so, what are they?

Red Menace 36 update
The lowest gear I've ridden in is 1.22 with 175mm cranks. A good climber would have little problem with hills in that combo. My climbing is still limited whether I'm on a guni or direct drive. My best guess is that it would still have some perceptible driveline friction as compared to a direct hub, but in general riding around you don't really notice it. What you do notice is the lightweight wheel. It's available for local test rides anytime. -- unisk8r ------------------------------------------------------------------------ unisk8r's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/4660 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/52571 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- ** SPEED ** RETENTION ** COMPLETION ** ANONYMITY ** ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com

Too bad Hazmat. Seattle is still the guni capital of the world!

Red Menace 36 update
Do you have anymore pics or videos of the Red Menace? You should have painted it green, the color of envy, because I need one of these beasts! -- siafirede James = my name 'This' (http://www.myspace.com/clawsout) = my myspace Pump Air Not Gas ------------------------------------------------------------------------ siafirede's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/6057 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/52571 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- ** SPEED ** RETENTION ** COMPLETION ** ANONYMITY ** ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com
