I spend 95% of my riding time Off Road = on Cow/Wild horse/game trails,
up & down dry sandy/rocky creek beds and any other trails I can find.
I carry all the tools/extra equipment to do repairs, I hope, and have tire liners, Flat out installed, extra tube/tire, and the required tire repair equipment on the bike, also have survival gear. The nearest help is 10 to 50 miles away and have very spotty to NO C ph service.
Seeing that the back derailleur hangs down and will be caught (has been) by brush/rocks, from previous rides, I know it's just a matter of time before I crash and burn the derailleur, given what I like to do.
I think I have figured out a good possible solutions, when that derailleur goes down, and or the motor quits, but I can still pedal out to the nearest road to get home etc.
here is the spec's on my bike:
https://bikonit.com/products/bikonit-warthog-md750-ebike
I bought a new long length chain that fits my Wart Hog along with several quick links, and I'll will be using any one of the 15t-22t-26t-34t back gears with the 44t main gear, depending on the riding conditions.
I can cut the chain to fit all of these gears, (WITHOUT using the derailleur), it will direct drive emergency use only, 1 gear to get me home, but I don't like all the extra slop of the chain when using the smaller gears.
The chain will be cut/fitted to the 34T gear and then moved to the smaller toothed gear as needed, by hand changing, for riding conditions to get home etc.
I am afraid of the sloppiness of the chain will create a bigger problems,
when using the smaller gears, and don't want to add/remove quick links/chain when changing to whatever gear I may need, and don't want to be locked into a single gear for all the conditions getting home from where I ride etc.
Is there some way, I can get rid of the sloppy extra chain length for all the smaller toothed gears 15/22/26t when I drop down from the 34t back gear?
Your thoughts and suggestions.......
