Mark W Posted April 2, 2006 Report Share Posted April 2, 2006 You can, but tell your Dad "Onzaboymark says it's shit."EDIT: I suppose I'd better justify it. Basically, you're halving the engagement points. The front freewheel would have to engage, then pull the chain to take up the slack and move the rear sprocket, which would then engage the rear hub. This means sluggish, mushy engagement, and it will basically halve the engagement points. Theoretically, front freewheels keep the chain constantly taut (seriously, they don't), which would mean the freewheel would engage almost instantly, then engage the rear. You basically then end up with a highly explosive front fixed sprocket. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JT! Posted April 3, 2006 Report Share Posted April 3, 2006 I worked it out one day that if you have an ACS and a pofile, you'd get effectivly 18ep.What Onzaboymark said, shortened, is first one freewheel will have to engage, and then the other one.

Simpson Posted April 3, 2006 Report Share Posted April 3, 2006 you would have to wait 2ce the ammount of time for both of them to becombe engaged because with one fixed axis only 1 of them have to becombe engaged, if you have 2 engagment points 1 of them has to engage then rotate untill the other one becombes engaged and you can go forwardwould feel supper mushy and shit it could work but it wouldnt work well enough for trials almost certainly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
