Ok, so I have been looking over this thread, and love all the great designs, and came up with my own that I would like critiqued:
(Sorry for the awkward angle, but it might make more sense if you look here too at my E-Bronco Build as this is going on a stretched cruiser as Mid-Drive: https://endless-sphere.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=28&t=44997&start=25)
The idea is to have a 1/4" steel bracket coming from the clamps on the seat post, made in sort of a BMX style "drop out" but then take four 2 - 3" lengths of 1/2" square rod of mild steel and have them bolted to the plate horizontally, and on the ends have vertical pinch bolts.
I intentionally made the space wide so that I could use this to tension the chain and then clamp it down as this way I would always have a good solid attachment between "torque clamp" and Hub Motor Axle, allowing for the slight size variations of axle thickness.
Please critique!
Thanks in advance - 8)
