to freewheel or not to freewheel- that is the ?
I'm trying to find real world examples of moderate power via single reduction put to the rear wheel, preferably successfully using freewheels for motor and pedals.
I am reworking the bht on my klein mantra as the 1st iteration needed much improvement.
I initially used a cheap 2 pawl freewheel w/ adapter to the freehub cog. This fully threaded freewheel enabled an additional 1.37"24 adapter to thread a 6sp freewheel onto the wheel also.
Needless to say, the bht @5hp is not just questionable for a non mx rim, as well as my frame.
But so far the freewheel was what failed.
It appears all other middirect driven BHT's are non freewheel. Drum, evolutiongts, and skeetab's builds have been helpful, but they aren't running freewheels and in most cases are pedaless.
Am I missing a build using a freewheel on rear with 50-60t sprocket and moderate power? (perhaps a white industries- but does it hold up, and has the user acheived any tandem bike gears?)
